I'm a partner in our London Intellectual Property team and specialise in brand management. I also lead Bird & Bird's International Wellness group, part of our retail & consumer sector.
Working as associate in our Intellectual Property Group in London, I am experienced in contentious and non-contentious IP matters in telecoms, media, retail and financial services, particularly concerning patents, trade marks, passing off and breach of confidence.
This month we report on a number of decisions of the General Court, including the decision in Bet365 Group v EUIPO; Robert Hansen, which considered whether the BET365 had acquired distinctive character through use.
