Collas Crill IP News - August 2011
News // August 2011

The Channel Islands have always been adept at managing change and adapting to financial circumstances.

Each of the major islands has recognised the importance of IP and is at a different stage of implementing legislation that protects this value. Guernsey has been looking at the concept of an image right for a long time now and significant momentum has developed.

In this issue of IP News, we consider the policy interaction between super injunctions in the UK and this new legislation. We look at the value of trademarks in the e-gaming space and tobacco world, and consider the importance of really understanding the value of IP when looking to offshore it.

At Collas Crill, we can offer you the complete solution in the IP space - from the registration of IP to structuring and administration, we have a solution that will help you or your clients.

We will continue to lead in this field in the Channel Islands and look forward to working with you soon.

We hope you enjoy this newsletter; please forward it on to anyone you think may find it of interest and let kate.kirk@collascrill.com know if any of your colleagues would like to receive it direct to their mailbox.
