Reversing the decision at first instance, the Full Federal Court of Australia has ordered that Lodestar Anstaltâs (âLodestarâ) trade mark WILD GEESE (âWG markâ) should be expunged from the Register. The decision was made on grounds that the primary judge had inappropriately exercised the discretion not to remove a mark for non-use granted under s 101(3) of the Trade Marks Act 1995 (Cth). The decision sheds crucial light on how, and the circumstances in which, the Registrar/courts may exercise their discretion under s 101(3) to allow a mark to remain on the Register despite a finding of non-use.
Facts
In 2005, Austin, Nichols & Co Inc (âAustinâ), owner of the bourbon brand WILD TURKEY, applied to the Registrar of Trade Marks to have the WG mark removed from the Register under s 92(4)(b) of the Trade Marks Act 1995 (Cth) for non-use. The Registrar refused the application for removal except in so far as it related to 'wine, fortified wine and wine based spirits, namely brandy, grappa and cognac' in class 33.

When we refer to the Argentinean trademark opposition procedure, different questions arise especially in light of the comparison with other local and regional systems.

The Tobacco Plain Packaging Act 2011 (Cth) (the âActâ) will come into effect with regard to retail sales of tobacco products in Australia on December 1, 2012. The Act and the Regulations made pursuant to it (together, the âlegislationâ), tightly regulate and dictate the manner in which tobacco products may be packaged and offered for sale at the retail level. In doing so, the legislation severely restricts or prohibits the use of trademarks for tobacco products.
Sub-section 20(1) of the Act prohibits any trademarks from appearing on the retail packaging of tobacco products unless they are specifically permitted by the legislation. Sub-section 20(3) however permits the use of the brand name of tobacco products and any variant name for the products. The effect of these provisions is that only word trademarks for tobacco products will be permitted on retail packaging. The use of all other trademarks (such as logos, any artwork or aspects of packaging) is prohibited.

Barbados is a tiny island in the Caribbean Sea, covering just 431 square kilometers. The population numbers under 290,000; there are very few natural resources and almost no manufacturing industries. So, why am I telling you all of that? The answer is that most of the consumer goods, TV shows and music found in Barbados are imported.
Foreign brands and technology are exposed to locals and to the hundreds of thousands of tourists and working ex-pats who visit the island year round for the sun, sea, sand and business opportunities. It is therefore very important for foreign intellectual property owners to protect their rights in Barbados.
Letâs look at brand protection. Trade, service, certification and collective marks may be registered. The common law action of passing-off provides additional protection for unregistered marks and trade dress.

Trademark prosecution proceedings in Colombia are now a bit easier thanks to a recent Anti-paperwork Decree of January 10, 2012.
The Decree (No. 19 of 2012) echoes all the recent changes to Colombian trademark laws that will apply after the Trademark Law Treaty (TLT) enters into force on April 13, 2012. Legalizations of documents are now a thing of the past, multiclass applications are now available, applications and registrations may be divided and the filing dates of initial applications for the purpose of priority rights are now certain.

Trademark protection in Europe tends especially since the introduction of the Community Trademark System to unification of rules and practice in all EU states. The easy changes in individual countries have been mostly done, but there still remain some problems that resist any convenient solution.
A problem that has been in the Czech Republic already solved concerns bringing our Trademark Law in conformity with one aspect of the TRIPS Agreement. According to the former Czech Trademark Law the license agreement came into force only after it was registered at the Czech Industrial Property Office. This was very important in cancellation proceedings in cases where the trademark was not used by its owner but by another firm with a consent of the trademark owner. To bring this law into conformity with TRIPS the Czech Trademark Law was amended so that that the license agreement came into force in respect to third persons only after it was registered at the Czech Industrial Property Office. Nevertheless, the Czech Industrial Property Office understood this amendment so that a use of a trademark by a licensor of a non-registered verbal license could not be considered a use for the purpose of a proof of use in a cancellation proceeding, which has been based on non-use, and the proof was thus still missing. The problem had to be solved by the Highest Administrative Tribunal, which had declared that where a trademark has been really used by a subject with a consent of the trademark owner, such use should be considered as a use by an authorized person even though the consent, i.e. the oral or written license, has not been registered at the Industrial Property Office.

The Gautamalan trademark system is based on the principle of âregistrationâ and itâs âterritorialâ, meaning that the trademarks are protected in Guatemala only if they are registered in the Guatemalan Patent and Trademark Office (GPTO). Different than the trademarks, the trade names are protected on a âfirst use basisâ. This means, that they are protected by the owner since its first use in the commerce. However, if a company wants to register it´s trade name in GPTO, they may do so using a similar application process, but adding a document that proves the actual an non interrupted use of the said trade name, in its country of origin. This all should work just fine, but there is a current issue in Guatemala with the registration of trade names, which is that, the Commercial Registry grants anyone who requests for the constitution of a new company, the use of a trade name if it is not registered in that particular Office, and it does not take into consideration the previous Intellectual Property Rights, that are already protected or in process to be protected in our GPTO. This means, the Commercial Registry doesnât check if the trade name is registered at the GPTO.

The JPO (Japan Patent Office) has adopted the 10th edition of Nice Classification and changed its practice to accept the description of âdietary supplementsâ for processed food for health aid in Class 5. This new practice has been applied to the trademark applications filed after January 1, 2012. However, for the applications which were filed before January 1, 2012 and are pending for examination in the JPO at present, they shall be examined under the old practice.

1.Introduction
I am often requested by foreign associates to respond to provisional refusals issued by the Japan Patent Office (âJPOâ) against applications based on the Madrid Protocol. Recently, a frequent ground for refusal refers to the main paragraph of Article 3(1) of the Japanese Trademark Act, which requires âactual useâor âintent-to-use.âThis provisional refusal has been issued more often than before due to the revision of the Guidelines for Examination in effect since April 1, 2007. Hence, I would like to explain the trademark examination practice in Japan, particularly regarding âSubclassâand âSimilar Group Code,âboth strongly related to said provisional refusal; in case this provisional refusal is issued; and how we should deal with it.
