1. Trade Mark and Copyright Law

1.1 Governing Law

There are no laws governing trade marks in Luxembourg, as there are no Luxembourg trade marks. Luxembourg is part of the amended Benelux Convention on Intellectual Property (Trademarks and Designs) of 25 February 2005 ("Benelux Convention"), which establishes a regional trade mark for Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. Only registered trade marks are recognised in Luxembourg, except for trade marks that are well known within the meaning of Article 6bis of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property ("Paris Convention") – namely non-registered trade marks that are renowned in the Benelux territory ("wellknown trade marks".

UPC CoA Confirms “gold Standard” For Added Matter In Sibio v Abbott

The Court of Appeal of the Unified Patent Court recently issued a decision examining whether omitting an elastomeric sealing member from a patent claim constitutes added matter, applying the EPO's "gold standard" test while emphasizing the importance of functional and structural relationships between features. The ruling provides crucial insight into how the UPC approaches intermediate generalizations and whether its methodology differs from the notoriously strict EPO practice on added subject-matter.

G 1/25: When Must The Description Be Adapted To Amended Claims?

The European Patent Office's Enlarged Board of Appeal has issued a landmark decision in G 1/25 "Hydroponics," addressing a fundamental question that has divided practitioners for years: when patent claims are amended during examination, must the description be adapted to match? The ruling establishes that inconsistencies between claims and descriptions only require correction when they result in non-compliance with the European Patent Convention, not merely for achieving formal consistency.
