                    <description><![CDATA[The Dryrobe Limited v Caesr Group Limited (t/a D-Robe Outdoors) judgment handed down late last year refers to the &quot;relentless efforts&quot; made by Dryrobe&#xAE; to monitor and police the use of its brand. These efforts were not only crucial to Dryrobe&#xAE;&#x27;s successful infringement claims against D-Robe, but also to its successful defence against counterclaims that Dryrobe&#xAE;&#x27;s trade marks should be invalidated or revoked on the basis that the terms &quot;dryrobe&quot; and &quot;dry robe&quot; had become generic, common names...]]></description>

For the majority of businesses, the rights which are most affected by Brexit, and which will therefore require more focus are EU trade marks and registered Community designs.

But as we explain below, length does not always equate to substantial benefits for business.  What it does mean is that the UK&#x27;s room for manoeuvre on IP issues post-Brexit is somewhat constrained &#x2013; although there are some areas where it will have freedom to do things differently.]]></description>
