The September issue also includes articles on the Rovi Guides v Telenet case at the CJEU; WIPO's latest overview of UDRP questions; trends in distinctiveness of 3D trade marks; patents and trade secrets in the chemicals industry; the communication to the public in copyright law; trade mark forum shopping in Europe; and US patent litigation data.

Regular features in both issues include our news and moves roundups, a selection from our blog, IP gossip in Utynam's Heirs and sponsored articles from our international briefings correspondents worldwide.
