IP Basics: The law of passing off
What is passing off? In its simplest form, passing off is when a business misleads customers (whether intentionally or unintentionally) into believing their goods or services were actually those of another business so as to benefit from the reputation another business enjoys.
A less familiar form of intellectual property right, passing off right applies to protect unregistered rights associated with a particular business, its goods or services. A very valuable asset for brand owners, this right protects 'goodwill' of an owner and protects a brand's value.
In this IP Basics podcast episode, Lucy Singer, in our IP team, will provide you with a summary of the law of passing off, the different forms of passing off, how to prove it and how to best leverage on this unregistered right.

London Design Festival 2018: A multigenerational world - design to meet the challenge
Ground-breaking innovation means more than a clever idea; it means an idea that will make consumers happy. Good design is profitable - if you make things that work better and appeal to more people, they will pay for it.
This is what multigenerational design is… The opportunity to make life easier or happier for more people, creating something that is truly accessible, inspiring more people to try a tact or use it.
It takes great skill, thought and hard work to create a design like this, so the last thing a designer wants is for their product to be copied.
As part of our 6th annual event at London Design Festival, we recorded this fantastic podcast, speaking to real design experts about how they approach design to make it better for all. Hear from Martin Darbyshire (tangerine), Johnny Grey (leading kitchen designer), Adam Thomas (disability campaigner and designer of the London 2012 Athlete's village kitchens), and Matt Dyson (founder of Rockit).
