Welcome to the Spring 2023 edition of Brand Matters.
In this edition, we discuss some significant Court rulings, such as the High Court's decision in the logo battle between Lidl and Tesco, as well as commentary on key new legislation including the UK's Digital Markets, Competition and Consumer Bill which was introduced in April 2023 and will bring changes to consumer protection, and the EU's Digital Services Act package. We also bring you one of our latest Jazz Shapers programmes featuring Polly McMaster from The Fold, a leading women's workwear brand.
We were delighted to hold our annual Style Gallery on 26th April, with a wellness theme we hosted a variety of brands including AKT London and Anatome, both participants of the Walpole Brands of Tomorrow programme which we have proudly supported for over 10 years. We've prepared a short highlights video which you can watch here.
Finally, we will be hosting our Annual IP Webinar on Thursday 8th June, focusing on developments in relation to trade marks, copyright and designs over the 12 months. Please find registration details here. I hope you will be able to join us.
Thanks to all the contributors to this edition. I hope you enjoy reading it.
