    Confession time. This is for an essay that I need to get done.

    What recent reforms relate to trademarks as they affect Internet domain name disputes?

    What I need are pointers to get me underway, if anyone can assist.

    Somewhere in your college / University there is a big room with books in it :) Have you been there?

    David Thorne's new book has a great preface on passing off and trade mark I intend to use in my exam for - "oh look at the amazing research this guy did into American cases" marks.

    I think I'll keep looking.

    Perhaps there will be books in the library, like you say.

    Thank you for your helpful suggestions.

    My first line was flippant - but honestly there are a load of letters between him and Penguin books lawyers which are a great read.

    In all honesty I have no idea about IP / Trademark - I sat though one of Mr Justice Clarke's lectures on the Rambaxy decision fantastic lecture but I don't know if I could get though an entire semester.

    Digression aside closest I can get for you is

    Interflora Inc v Marks & Spencer Plc (C-323/09) on keywords - this is my compensation for being cheeky :) It's not much.

    Thank you kind sir, I'll take a look at that.

    I've read David Thorne before. He can be funny alright. Here's his website http://www.27bslash6.com/covers.html
