Experience Level: Entry
Estimated project duration: less than 1 week
The price of the article will be fixed at £100—delivery for Monday 08 February.
A UK law degree holder is preferred for this task.
The article will be on the dangers of suing for breach of the incorrect type intellectual property right and making sure you provide enough detail in your complaints so that the person accused of theft can properly defend themselves.
The focus is on copyright, confidential information and trade secrets but v. briefly define trademark lawsuits illustrating the difference between TM and copyright CI or TS. The only reason for defining TM lawsuits is to say how irrelevant a type of IP it is to confidential information or trade secret. TM lawsuits can also overlap with copyright lawsuits since a brand name is also capable of copyright protection (please expand a little on this in the article).
First, contrary to popular opinion, you cannot sue for intellectual property right infringement as a general term.
Second, you must sue for a specific type of intellectual property. Define the difference between copyright/confidential information/trade secrets.
i.e.
CDPA 1988
The Trade Secrets (Enforcement, Etc. ) Regulations 2018
Common law definition of confidential information
Third, the type of intellectual property must be the correct type that relates to the case's facts.
There have been several cases in which the case was lost and the judge in his final comments stated that the case should have been brought under another type of IP (try to find a couple of such cases).
Fourthly the consequences of getting the wrong type of intellectual property: your case could be struck out very early on. You end up paying the other sides expensive legal costs, (any other consequences).
