The start of 2024 marked a significant change in the UK legal landscape post-Brexit – the entry into force of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 (‘REULA’). This is the first of two blogs looking at REULA, and at the UK Courts’ approach to EU law following the UK’s departure from the EU.

In conjunction with the REULA, the recent Advancetrack decision is a useful hypothetical as to how the UK courts might interpret trade mark law post-Brexit and provides guidance on ways in which purposive statutory interpretation can help the UK courts retain settled areas of EU law. 

Emma Dixon explains more about both the REULA and the Advancetrack decision in a new article for the Wolters Kluwer Trade Mark Blog. You can read the full article here.
