This chapter explores the scope of protection and considers trade mark conflicts from the perspective of trade mark infringement and enforcement. It also considers conflicts between trade mark and other types of rights over commercial indicia. The concepts of use, confusion, and protection of trade marks with reputation together with their related tests have been developed in Chapter 5. In this chapter we revisit them from an infringement perspective where the comparisons courts have to make become more concrete, and market and factual contexts become even more relevant. Issues specific to the enforcement of the Community trade mark are considered towards at the end of this chapter together with a discussion on goods in transit.

This chapter looks at the various defences against trade mark infringement and the way in which the courts have interpreted them. A defendant's principal argument will be to deny that there has been any infringing conduct, and/or that what has been done is not within the scope of protection given to the registered mark. There are, however, a number of statutory defences. These defences span from the use of one's own name to a framework outlining the conditions of comparative advertisement and the role of exhaustion of rights as a defence to an action for trade mark infringement, including the ways in which the intellectual property owner can object to the parallel importation of non-European Economic Area (EEA) goods.
