Sound marks, holographic marks, three dimensional marks, scent marks and other non-traditional trademarks have become an important means for marketing departments to build and exploit their company’s brand — in addition to logos, phrases and other more traditional marks. In-house counsel need to stay informed about developments in non-traditional marks in order to keep up with business realities and protect their company’s interests. Many countries have regimes that regulate non-traditional marks, and understanding the procedures required to protect a brand’s unique shapes, sounds and smells can provide an important competitive advantage. This program will address: (1) the types of non-traditional marks that may currently be registered, and what lies ahead; (2) clearance procedures; (3) applications to register; and (4) enforcement proceedings.
