Podcast “AdWords & Marken”

Nachfolgende Mail vom französischen Blogkollegen Frédéric Glaize erreichte mich am Wochenende.
Der Bitte komme ich gerne nach – voilà!

Dear friends and colleagues,

As you know, since 2003 litigation regarding use of third parties trade marks to trigger sponsored links has lead to jurisprudence which is as abundant as disorientating.

Five series of requests for preliminary rulings were passed to the European Court of Justice. The first of these decisions is expected on 23 March 2010. While this decision will certainly not be the end to all AdWords disputes, the interpretation of the Trade Marks and Electronic Commerce Directives expected from the highest European Court is highly anticipated.

Three French blogs will release a podcast commenting the decision, just a day after it has been released (should no technical difficulties arise).
The following persons will be joining forces in this experience:

Bertrand Pautrot, blogger at http://webmarklaw.com and PhD student whose doctoral thesis topic deals with trade marks protection on the internet from the US and EU perspectives,
Gilles Ringeisen, a senior Trademark Attorney at cabinet Plasseraud,
Cédric Manara, blogger at http://domaine.blogspot.com and Law professor at Edhec (among many other activities),
Frédéric Glaize, blogger at http://www.pmdm.fr, Trademark Attorney at cabinet Plasseraud and occasional contributor to the Class 46 blog.
An announcement picture is available here : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5073431/images/podcast-AdWords.jpg for you to use on your web site or blog to help us promote this event.
We would indeed appreciate links to http://webmarklaw.com http://domaine.blogspot.com and http://www.pmdm.fr.

While the podcast will be recorded in French, should the language barrier not be an obstacle for you, we are eager not only to get some links from your web sites, but also to hear your reactions.

Let’s hope we can match the stadards set up by the Rethink(IP) podcast pioneers team (http://www.rethinkip.com/), the BP/G Radio team (http://bpgradio.podbean.com/) and the IP Think Tank podcast team piloted by Duncan Bucknell (now at http://thinkipstrategy.com/ipthinktank.podcast.categories).
