 ,

US Supreme Court will decide who determines trademark strength

The U.S. Supreme Court recently granted certiorari in RiseandShine Corporation v. PepsiCo, Inc. to address a narrow but important trademark issue: whether a trademark’s inherent strength as part of a likelihood-of-confusion analysis is a question of law for judges or a question of fact, typically reserved for juries. The answer may affect how often trademark cases are resolved on summary judgment rather than proceeding to a jury trial.

日本茶 地理的表示として登録

農林水産省は１０日、農産品のブランドを保護する地理的表示（ＧＩ）で、「日本茶」を新たに登録したと発表した。世界的な抹茶ブームで日本茶の輸出が拡大する中、模倣品との差別化を図る狙いがある。ＧＩは、地域ならではの品質や特性を持つ農産品などの名称を国が知的財産として保護する制度。．．．ＧＩには「浜名湖うなぎ」（静岡）、「加賀れんこん」（石川）も登録され計１７０品目となった。

From August 1, 2026:

  2. Jersey will have its own Office of origin. Applicants based in Jersey will file their international trademark applications directly through the Jersey Registrar of Intellectual Property.
