 Design law is a complex and fluctuating field of practice in the European Union. Twenty years after the introduction of the Community Registered Designs system, the EU has significantly amended its design law. These amendments modernise the legislation to future-proof the rights of designers and harmonise design protections across Member States. The new edition of Stone on European Union Design Law: A Practitioners' Guide provides comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of the EU-wide legislation and the thousands of court and tribunal decisions interpreting it.The Third Edition of this highly respected practitioner text offers an informative history of the legislation's development and aims. It traces the introduction of fundamental changes to the protection of industrial and ornamental designs throughout the EU up to and including the 2024 amendments. Since the previous edition, hundreds of cases have been decided by the EUIPO, the General Court, the Court of Justice, and national courts. Stone on European Union Design Law situates primary legal provisions in context, supported by excerpts and references to case law up to January 2025. Chapters cover topics including the definition of terms, the system of courts and tribunals with jurisdiction for EU design disputes, overlap with other intellectual property rights, exclusions from protection, the right to EU designs, invalidity of prior design and novelty arguments, the procedure of the EUIPO, infringement and applicable defences, jurisdictional issues, and the recast Design Directive. Providing accessible and robust coverage of the complete design law of the EU, this book is an essential reference for practitioners in Europe and beyond.
