Hans Dhondt gave a lecture on recent IP case law of EU in Utrecht

On 30 September 2022 our partner Hans Dhondt (co-head of the IP department at Janson) gave a lecture on recent IP case law of the European Union at the impressive Railway museum (Spoorwegmuseum) in Utrecht during the Autumn meeting of the Benelux Association for Trademark- and Design law (Beneluxvereniging voor Merken- en Modellenrecht (BMM)).

Special attention was given to i) the CJEU’s decisions of 28 April 2022 NOVATEXT (C-531/20) and KOCH MEDIA (C-559/20) that create new opportunities to claim compensation for costs in IP litigation matters, and to ii) two recent decisions of the General Court on bad faith (NEHERA T-250/21 and LA IRLANDESA T-306/20).
