Right and wrong analogies: the CJEU’s use of trade mark concepts in copyright and design law

Derclaye, Estelle

Abstract

Considers, with reference to case law, whether the tendency of the ECJ to use trade mark concepts to resolve disputes involving other intellectual property issues such as design and copyright is misconceived. Examines the operation of such a policy in cases such as Mast-Jagermeister SE v EUIPO (C-217/17 P) (ECJ), and reflects on when it is justified, the potential concerns it raises and why it should be used with discretion.
