Decision T‑434/12 of 16.01.14, European General Court, position mark, Steiff
On 16 January 2014 the European General Court (EGC) decided that a button in the middle of the ear of a toy teddy bear (a so-called “position mark”) cannot be registered as a Community Trademark as it lacks distinctiveness (Decision T‑434/12 of 16.01.14). Introduction In order to assess  whether a mark possesses the necessary  distinctiveness or not, various factors need to be taken into account. On the one hand side, the court has to review the specific goods and services of the applied for trademark,  and, on the other hand, it has to determine if intended brand is capable to enable the average consumer to recognize the source of origin.

ICANN, Munich Conference 2013 on new Top Level Domains, New TLDs
ICANN will launch more than 1,000 new Top Level Domains (TLDs). Starting in early 2014, new TLDs like .shop, .web or .hotel will have a huge impact on how we find and distribute information online. From a trademark perspective the question is: How can I protect my brand? What do I need to know before the launch of the new TLDs? What can I do? What mechanisms exist? All these legal, technical and strategic questions will be discussed in-depth at the upcoming newdomains.org Munich Conference on new TLDs from 26 - 28 October 2013.
