Description

How is it decided if a trademark is contrary to public policy or accepted principles of morality? What is the scope of and difference between public policy and accepted principles of morality?

Speaking at the webinar will be attorney-at-law Rasmus Korsgaard and attorney-at-law Nikolai Dokkedahl, both from Plesner Advokatpartnerselskab, who recently published an article in NIR (issue 3/2021) on “Swear words, the royal family and works of art – trademarks contrary to public policy or accepted principles of morality”. In the article, the background and purpose of public policy and accepted principles of morality and recent developments in case law, including most notably C-240/18 (Fack Ju Göhte) and E-5/16 (Vigeland), have been thoroughly scrutinized.
