Brexit Is a Done Deal: What Are the IP Implications?

摘要

Brexit is now a done deal. The Withdrawal Agreement provides that European Union ("EU") law will continue to apply in the United Kingdom ("UK") until the end of the transition period, currently December 31, 2020, so there is no need for businesses to take immediate action to protect their intellectual property ("IP"). This article provides an up-to-date summary of the impact for business owners when the transition period ends, and practical steps trade mark owners need to take to prepare.
