We are pleased to inform ECTA members of the conclusions from the last meeting of the Circle of European Trade Mark Judges (CET-J), held in Prague on 28-30 September 2023.

The CET-J is an independent group of 23 judges from 19 European countries, including the UK, Switzerland, Norway, and Turkey, which meets every year in one of the European capitals to facilitate the exchange of insights and information on significant national rulings that are discussed at European level.

The judicature of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) is examined with regard to national decisions, evaluated in terms of uniform application and any open questions arising.

The collaborative work carried out by the CET-J results in the summary of the most important points of discussion - the Conclusions.
