LEGS8007 Class 08.2 & 08.3

Part 17



We looked at the trademark registration process. We examined the Nice classification for products and services.  We looked at some well know Irish marks and the classes for which they were registered.  Students completed an exercise with random pages from a catalog and we learned that electrical and non-electrical doorbells, for example,  are in different classes.  Sometimes it's necessary to consult the detailed listings.




Part 18




What can be a trademark? We looked at the Sieckmann Criteria and considered smells and single colours.  I explained the concept of acquired distinctiveness through use.
