2024 has seen important trade mark cases and thought-provoking trade mark filing practices. Following on from our webinar, we're pleased to be launching the third edition of our Trade Mark Round Up Report to reflect on some of the most interesting cases that we have seen recently.

We also share key learning points and practical tips to help inform how we approach trade mark protection going into 2025.
