‘The “new context” of Brexit will play a role in future proceedings concerning genuine use’.
Genuine use and Brexit are under the General Court’s lens for the first time. A case-law comment by Riccardo Raponi, Litigation Service, Boards of Appeal: https://euipo.europa.eu/ohimportal/en/alicante-news

RT @EU_Growth: Commissioner @ThierryBreton addressed the European Observatory on Infringements of Intellectual Property Rights plenary today, celebrating 10 years.
The Observatory🔭 is pivotal in improving EU #IPR, making us more competitive & resilient.
To tackle this misinformation, the EUIPO runs the @IdeasPowered for Business #SMEfund, a grant scheme that offers financial aid for registering trade marks or designs, as well as personalised support from IP experts: https://euipo.europa.eu/ohimportal/en/web/guest/online-services/sme-fund
However, only 10% of SMEs in the EU have at least one IP right registered.
Among the reasons for not protecting their IP assets, 1/3 say that they see no extra benefits👇
Half or more of the SMEs surveyed say that IP rights help them combat counterfeiting, improve their brand value or have a stronger negotiating position 👇
‘Intellectual property (IP) rights are good for my business’. This is true for over 90 % of 🇪🇺 SMEs.
Awareness of IP is on the rise among small and medium companies, a new EUIPO survey finds: https://euipo.europa.eu/ohimportal/en/web/observatory/sme-scoreboard#2022
