Course description

A registered design is infringed if it a product produces the same overall impression on the informed user. However, in order to enforce the protection of a registered design, you need to have a thorough understanding of what an ‘overall impression’ is and how it is defined by IP law.


Freddie Noble presents this succinct and informative webinar which considers the key issues in this area to equip you with the knowledge required to predict what a judge may decide or advise. It will cover the law on overall impression, including what gets compared and how similar it has to be; the role of the informed user; the relevance of the design corpus and a wide range of illustrative examples.

Introduction

You will know that a registered design is infringed by a product which produces the same overall impression on the informed user.

How close does the design have to be?

It sounds like an inherently subjective question but is there a reliable way to predict what a judge is going to say and advise?

This short webinar is suitable for patent attorneys, solicitors, IP managers and anyone who needs to be able to advise on infringement of registered designs.

What You Will Learn

This webinar will cover the following:

  • The law on overall impression - what gets compared and how similar it has to be
  • The role of the informed user
  • The relevance of the design corpus
  • Plenty of illustrative examples
