Members of Chambers provide advice and advocacy services on all intellectual property matters, involving, for example, trade marks and passing-off, copyright and designs, and patents and confidential information. Members also have acted in cases concerning performance rights, moral rights, data protection issues, database rights, geographical indications, plant varieties rights, Freedom of Information requests, information technology disputes, and entertainment and media issues.
Chambers has a particularly strong reputation in trade mark registration matters, with great experience before the UK tribunals (both the Trade Mark Registry and the Appointed Person) and the UK courts. Historically, many members of Chambers have appeared on numerous occasions before the General Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union on trade mark issues.
Chambers also has extensive experience in copyright matters, in particular, those relating to the music and entertainment industries. Chambers has acted for many artists, record and film companies, agents and publishers. In addition, members of chambers have undertaken advisory work in international, European and comparative copyright law, including assisting in legislative drafting and representations to governmental departments and international organisations.
Michael Edenborough KC, along with expert contributions from Thomas Elias, Adrian de Froment and Stephanie Wickenden (and with Niamh Herrett who compiled the Index), wrote the 2nd edition of Contentious Trade Mark Registry Proceedings, which was published by CITMA in October 2023.
“Michael Edenborough’s book is a tour de force. No stone or fragment of IPO law and practice in this area appears to have been left unturned or unexamined. This updated edition is replete with practical guidance built on Michael’s huge experience in this technical and highly specialised area.
“It is an invaluable resource both for the seasoned practitioner and those just cutting their teeth. I recommend it highly.” Ian Bartlett, Beck Greener and Chair of the CITMA Law & Practice Committee
Given the broad chancery / commercial make-up of Chambers, members are well placed to advise on the interaction of intellectual property issues with such areas as company law, insolvency procedures, tax disputes, trusts, jurisdictional matters, and private international concerns. Many members of chambers can act in cases involving both commercial chancery and specialist intellectual property issues, avoiding the need to instruct multiple counsel. For example:
Adrian de Froment and John Eldridge are experts in cases with an overlap of fraud and intellectual property.
Stephanie Wickenden and Anneliese Mondschein specialise in both intellectual property and Art and Cultural Property law.
Thomas Elias, Stefano Braschi, Niamh Herrett and Ryan Tang are especially well-placed to advise on matters of company law and intellectual property.
Prof Jonathan Harris KC (Hon.) is a general editor of the leading practitioners’ work on jurisdiction Dicey & Morris (along with Lord Collins), and the 2022 16th edition has a new chapter that focuses upon IP issues (which was written by Lord Justice Arnold).
Professor Suzanne Rab has a particular expertise in competition law, and so she is well placed to advise upon matters where there is an interface between competition and intellectual property.

Read the judgment here.

Crafts Group LLC v MS Indeutsch International [2023] FSR 23 and 24:
Michael Edenborough KC and Stephanie Wickenden have successfully represented Crafts Group in their appeal to the Court of Appeal in Crafts Group LLC v MS Indeutsch International [2024] EWCA Civ 87.
This long-running dispute concerns trade mark rights and goodwill in patterned knitting and crochet needles. Crafts Group instigated invalidity proceedings of the Defendants’ EU trade mark in the EU IPO in 2013 which, owing to multiple appeals and remissions, remain ongoing and are expected to last in the region of a further 5 years. In 2015, Knit Pro issued two Amazon takedown requests in respect of Crafts Group's products. Crafts Group claimed for relief for unjustified threats of trade mark proceedings in 2020, prior to the departure of the UK from the EU. By the time the Defence and Counterclaim was issued, the UK had left the EU.
Knit Pro counterclaimed for infringement of the challenged EU trade mark and sought a stay of the entirety of the UK proceedings pending the determination of its invalidity. Crafts Group denied the UK Court had any jurisdiction to hear the counterclaim under the EU Trade Mark Regulation, and resisted the stay. At first instance, HHJ Hacon imposed a stay of the matters relating to the EU trade mark under Art 132 of the EUTMR, and stayed the remainder of the proceedings under the Court's discretionary power. Following a supplementary judgment and permission to appeal being granted, the EU TM counterclaim was withdrawn but Knit Pro still maintained that the remainder of the proceedings should still be stayed. The Court of Appeal granted the order sought by Crafts Group, staying only the validity counterclaim in respect of the UK comparable mark (EU).
The Court of Appeal's judgment can be found here.

Lifestyle Equities CV v Amazon UK Services Ltd, [2021] ETMR 27, [2021] FSR 19; CoA [2022] FSR 20, [2023] 1 All ER 905:
Michael Edenborough KC leading outside junior counsel acted for the successful appellants on whether certain advertisements and offers for sale on amazon.com targeted the UK and the EU.

Further, sales from the amazon.com site to customers located in the UK / EU27 also constituted actionable use. This result has far reaching consequences on how internet businesses who have customers located in several countries need to conduct their trade in those various jurisdictions.

The Appellants/Defendants’ solicitors previously acted for another defendant in a case brought by the same claimant where the facts had some overlap, and which was resolved by a confidential mediation. The Court found that the principles to be applied were not the same as those in former clients, but that there was a potential for a conflict of duties owing to the confidential information received through the previous mediation. On the facts, the solicitors had not breached any duty as they had implemented an appropriate information barrier.
