The Intellectual Property (Unjustified Threats) Act 2017 comes into force On 1 October 2017, giving individuals and businesses greater protection against groundless threats to bring legal action for infringement of trade marks, patents or other intellectual property rights. It will make it easier for parties to communicate about the dispute, without triggering an additional claim of implied threat.
For more information, see this week's Civil way update.
