In the recent and comprehensive decision from the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice, England and Wales, Justice Arnold ruled that the Metrocab taxi is not infringing the London Taxi Company´s (LTC) three-dimensional United Kingdom Trademark (UKTM) and Community Trademark (CTM). On the contrary, the three-dimensional trademarks were found to be invalid as they both lack necessary distinctive character and consist exclusively of the shape which gives substantial value to the goods. The CTM was also found invalid due to non-use. (Case No: HC-2014-002085, Judgement of 20 January 2016)

The EU trademark reform package was approved by the European Parliament on 15 December 2015. The amendments are expected to come into force in March/April 2016. The reform package brings changes to the Community Trademark Regulations (Council Regulation (EC) No 207/2009) and adopts a new Directive to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trademarks. The reform is extensive; the new Directive consists of 57 articles whereas the old Directive only had 19 articles. Major changes are also made to the regulation: for example, the structure of the fees payable will be significantly changed.

The reform of the EU trademark system has been ongoing since 2008 and is finally ready for publication. The updated rules aim for a more efficient and cost effective trademark registration process. The dual system of national and EU trademarks covering all 28 member states is retained, whilst national and EU trademark registration procedures are streamlined and further harmonized. The trademark reform package includes amendments to Council Regulation (EC) No 207/2009 on the Community trademark and the adoption of a new Directive to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trademarks. European Parliament adopted the new laws without any amendments to the Council’s position in first reading.
