I confirm there is no statement of use in the UE after registration, although the trademark can be be revoked for non-use by any third party through the corresponding action with the EUIPO if the mark has not been used during the last five years.

Hi Everyone! I have a query for EU Trademark practitioners: Is there a requirement of filing of a statement of use for european trademarks like in the US? if yes, by when should the statement of use be filed post registration? Is there a statutory provision in the EU which mandates the usage of the mark post registration? thanks in advance!

​🤖 Legal challenges brought by Artificial Intelligence

Getty Images, one of the world’s leading creators and distributors of digital content, is taking legal action against Stability AI, the creator of the image-generating system Stable Diffusion.

▫️Background
Stable Diffusion is a model capable of generating images in response to text prompts. Getty Images alleged that Stability AI infringed its copyrights by copying 12 million images from Getty’s websites in the process of training its Stable Diffusion model (while other tech companies pay a fee to use Getty’s pictures). Thus, Getty claims to recover statutory damages of up to $150,000 for each infringed work. Although this photo stock agency is known for demanding unreasonably large amounts of money for copyright infringements, the circumstances may differ in this case.

▫️Other cases
A few months ago the United States District Court already concluded that creators of Stable Diffusion (as well as creators of other AI systems like DALL-E, Midjourney) do use copyrighted artworks in machine learning.

❔Getting inspiration or stealing
Owners of these products say that Al image generators are just inspired by human-made photos and illustrations in the same way a person creating something new uses some features of other’s works of art. The catch is that algorithms of art-generating systems rely on diffusion modeling which is a technique for synthesis of source data, including transformation of digital images. These images get into Al’s database from the Internet with permission of copyright holder or without. However, in the case of humans, this is considered a creative effort, but in the case of AI...

Do you think AI diffusion modelling can be called a creative effort?

​🎶 Is it possible to compose a melody without infringing anyone’s copyright?

Good news, the answer is yes! At least, Ed Sheeran was able to prove it in the courtroom. The US District Court in New York has ruled in his favor in the copyright case over the song.
The heirs of Marvin Gaye’s co-writer, Ed Townsend, tried to sue Sheeran for infringement of "Let's Get It On", which Gaye and Townsend collaborated on.

However, it seems that they have no intention of giving up, as they intend to appeal the decision. A few years ago, they won a similar case against Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams involving "Got to Give it Up".

Such copyright lawsuits are filed quite frequently, and popular musicians have to deal with them all the time. Thus, we can conclude that the heirs of Ed Townsend, who sued Ed Sheeran, were not "creative" in this regard.

The problem with the endless number of lawsuits was discussed in our latest podcast. As we have mentioned in this episode, there exists a concept of "commonplace musical building blocks". These are some basic structures, which have been present in music for decades, for example, chord progressions and harmonic rhythms, which Ed Sheeran was allowed to use as per the court decision. Such basic elements cannot be protected by copyright, as it may hinder the creation of new music.

The same idea of "common musical elements" has already been implemented in the ruling on the Chokri v. Sheeran case. As we can see, similar copyright cases keep appearing in the music industry.

The key part of Sheeran’s and other similar trials is the testimony of musicologists hired as expert witnesses, who present comprehensive analyses of the music. However, such procedures are quite expensive and complicated. That’s why new judicial practice helps to lower the number of trials, where musicians have to prove that they are not liable for using musical mechanisms to achieve consonance.

Perhaps, someday we will see a database of these "musical building blocks", which cannot be monopolized. It may help to facilitate evidence procedure or even prevent some lawsuits.
If you have any ideas on how to reduce the amount of baseless copyright cases, share with us and we will discuss them in our new podcasts.

As my other two colleagues say, the EUIPO does not require statement of use when a trade mark is applied for in the EU. The law provides for use within 5 years of post registration, to avoid a cancellation action by a third party for non-use.

hi Eashwar, there is no reqiurement of filing of a statement of use for european trademarks like in the US unless a non-use revocation action is initiated against an EUTM registration by a third party. But there is, of course, a requirement to use EUTM post registration. Revocation of EUTM on the grounds of non-use can be requested after 5 years from the trademark registration date
