It is difficult to escape the current media coverage of the forthcoming UK referendum on whether the UK should continue to remain a member of the European Union (EU). A “no” vote from the majority of the British public would lead to the so-called “Brexit” taking place approximately two years later (once a withdrawal agreement had been negotiated between the EU and the UK and entered into force). But what would the impact of a “Brexit” be upon EU-wide trade mark and design rights?
