Today we had the pleasure of hosting Ms. Crystal J. Chen, Mr. Sheng-Fang Liu, Mr. Tommy Po-Ping Chiu from the firm of TSAI, LEE & CHEN (Taiwan). They gave us a presentation on several court decisions in non-use cancellation actions concerning the trademarks “Tokyu” and “CROWN” and explained the Taiwan practice and legal standards with respect to what constitutes the use of trademarks. We also discussed recent examination trends concerning design applications as well as the temporary postponement of plans to abolish the current appeal system.
