Congratulations to our own Liverpool in the UK, along with Shanghai in the PRC and Belgium's Charleroi for receiving the first global "City of Innovation" awards!

The awards programme is part of an initiative launched earlier this year by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to recognise cities' commitments to advancing innovation and creativity in their communities.

The 2026 winners' pledges included plans to attract technology start-ups, develop digital and creative skills, expand IP support and further involve communities in innovative activities.

The awards underline the importance of metropolitan areas in fuelling economic growth, with urban areas already being home to around half the world's population and generating 80% of global GDP.

Great to see the role of IP support in advancing innovation being recognised through these awards. Go IP community! 🙌

💬 The European Patent Office (EPO) is unusual in that it routinely requires patentees to amend the description to conform to the allowed claims prior to grant (unlike other patent offices around the world). The legal basis for this has long been contested and finally, a referral to the Enlarged Board of Appeal has resulted in decision G1/25.

G1/25 decided that the description must be adapted only where an inconsistency between the claims and description causes non-compliance with the European Patent Convention. The EPO must justify any request for adaptation of the description by explaining the non-compliance.

Our Louise Carr, Senior Patent Attorney, comments on the decision below:

"At first glance, this appears to reduce the burden on patentees to amend the description. However, due to the justification which will be provided by the EPO, the significance placed on the amendments could have an increased effect on claim interpretation during litigation or opposition.

"In many cases, we are likely to see less amendment of the description required, which is welcome. However, where description amendments are required, applicants will need to carefully consider how or whether to respond to the justification provided by the EPO for the amendments and any effects this could have on post-grant proceedings."

For any queries further to Decision G1/25 or on European patent practice in general, please contact Louise Carr ([email protected]) or your regular Cameron IP attorney 👍

US fashion brand, Victoria's Secret, has sued UK shirtmaker, Thomas Pink, in the Ohio federal courts for trade mark infringement over the alleged use of its "PINK" trade mark on a new women's clothing range.

The two fashion brands have a history of "PINK" trade mark disputes in the both the US and the UK, with various actions being brought in recent years.

Victoria's Secret claims that branding similar to its "PINK" trade mark was used on Thomas Pink's casual and athleticwear and that this violates a 2015 settlement agreement between the two firms.

Victoria's Secret appears to be concerned by the fact that Thomas Pink's venture into women's casualwear and athleticwear brings its products closer to the market currently occupied by the Victoria's Secret PINK brand.

It will be interesting to see how the Ohio federal court adjudicates on the matter, with both sides having achieved successful outcomes in previous disputes.

Are you a fan of the Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters? The movie has now become Netflix's most-watched original title 🎬

Netflix and its live promoter, AEG Presents, have been keen to capitalise on the film's success, and have made plans for a global live concert tour, as a well as a soundtrack and merchandise programme.

Cue conflict with Christian metal band Demon Hunters and the company behind the band, Hyde Lane.

Demon Hunters are an established 5-piece band from Seattle who, according to AllMusic, play a brand of "aggressive yet emotionally stirring heavy metal". The band have been touring and releasing music for 25 years.

They have launched a trade mark infringement suit against Netflix, alleging that its KPop Demon Hunters mark creates the likelihood of confusion for consumers in relation to its own mark. They are also suing on the basis of false designation of origin and unfair competition.

Demon Hunters registered a US trade mark in 2014 covering live entertainment and obtained further registrations in 2022 for recorded music and merchandise.

Netflix has successfully registered the trade mark, KPop Demon Hunters, for several merchandise uses, and has further applications pending.

Hyde Lane, for Demon Hunters, has asked the US District Court for the Central District of California to stop Netflix using the KPop Demon Hunters name for recorded music, live shows and merchandise and to award unspecified damages.

Hyde Lane has provided alleged evidence of confusion between its Demon Hunters brand and the KPop Demon Hunters brand, including a parent spending $500 on tickets for Demon Hunter, thinking it was a child-friendly KPop show for their children, and incidences of Demon Hunter being incorrectly tagged on social media posts.

Hyde Lane's complaint makes the comparison that Netflix would not be entitled to launch a recording artist touring show and merchandise under names such as "KPop Metallica", "KPopU2" or "KPop Black Sabbath".

It will be interesting to see how the Court interprets Hyde Lane's arguments, particularly given the contrasting sizes of the followings of the brands in question - as an illustration, Demon Hunters has 350,000 listeners on Spotify, and KPop Demon Hunters has 35 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

Following the UK Supreme Court's landmark judgment earlier this year in Emotional Perception AI Ltd v Comptroller-General of Patents, the UK IP Office (UKIPO) has issued new examination guidance for computer-implemented inventions (CIIs).

The new guidance represents the most significant change to UK CII examination practice for almost 20 years.

Key effects of the updated guidance will be:

1) More software and AI inventions are expected to pass the initial patent eligibility hurdle.

2) Examiners will focus less on whether an invention is excluded subject-matter and more on novelty and inventive step.

3) UK examination practice will now be more closely aligned with European practice.

Please see the new guidelines here: https://lnkd.in/gqZ-sypt

Should you wish to discuss how the updated UKIPO guidelines will affect your business, please contact your regular Cameron IP attorney, or our Louise Carr, Senior Patent Attorney ([email protected]).

v 📈 UK trade mark filings overtook European trade mark filings for the first time in Q4 of 2025 per statistics released by the UK IP Office and the European Union IP Office.

52,693 UK trade mark applications were filed versus 49,884 European trade mark applications in the period concerned. This demonstrates the importance placed on the UK as a market for applicants and illustrates how filing patterns have changed since Brexit.
