Understanding Honest Concurrent User: High Court’s Landmark Decision

As you probably know, the High Court unanimously rejected Zip Co’s defence of honest concurrent user against infringement of Firstmac’s ZIP registered trade mark.

Gabriella Rubagotti and I are doing a Rapid Response talk for AIPPI addressing what the High Court decided is honest concurrent user and how it works as a defence to trade mark infringement.

The talk is online only on 2 July at 5:15pm (AEST).

It is free for AIPPI members or $40 otherwise.

Details and registration here.
