ip legal skills for European Union

EU intellectual property sits at the intersection of supranational rights and national enforcement: a unitary EU trade mark registered with the EUIPO gives market-wide protection, yet infringement claims still run through designated national courts acting as EU Trade Mark Courts under Regulation 2017/1001. That structural duality shapes everything from filing strategy to cross-border injunctions, and the IP legal skills for the European Union in the ThomasMore catalog are built around it.

Each skill is agent-ready, covering tasks such as clearance searching ahead of a EUIPO filing, drafting cease-and-desist correspondence, mapping exhaustion-of-rights questions under EU law, or screening licensing clauses against competition rules enforced by the European Commission. You reach them over MCP or download them directly, so they slot into document review, due diligence, or advisory workflows without friction. The collection spans trade marks, designs, patents coordinated under the European Patent Convention framework, copyright harmonised by EU directives, and trade-secrets protection under the 2016 Trade Secrets Directive. Authors maintain these skills as EUIPO practice guidance, CJEU doctrine, and the evolving supplementary protection certificate regime continue to develop.
