Practice notes

This Practice Note is intended to provide a summary as to how spare parts are dealt with for the main intellectual property (IP) rights available under English law (namely designs, trade marks, patents, copyright); together with examples of the way in which the law works in practice and pragmatic tips for both rights holders and those who make and/or sell spare parts.
