Greenberg Traurig, LLP Amsterdam Shareholder Radboud Ribbert and Associate Wouter van Wengen authored the Netherlands chapter in the 2023 Chambers Global Practice Guide on Trade Marks.
The authors examine the challenges faced by trade mark law in the age of globalization and the internet. With the rise of powerful platforms that operate globally, courts worldwide are seeking to expand their jurisdiction outside the designated territories of trade marks. The article delves into this trend and explores recent cases on platform liability in relation to trade mark enforcement. It also sheds light on the Digital Services Act, which entered into force in 2022, and discusses its potential impact on brand enforcement. The publication concludes with a walkthrough of notable court cases from the past year. Trade mark owners, legal practitioners, and anyone interested in the intersection of trade mark law and the internet will find this publication insightful and informative.
