Iain Russell, the head of the EIP Designs practice group, has been invited to contribute to the Community Designs Handbook.
The Community Designs Handbook, published annually by Sweet & Maxwell, is one of the leading texts on Registered Community Designs (RCDs) for patent and trademark attorneys.
The book provides a detailed description of the law and practice relating to designs in the European Community. It takes a practical approach to the procedures involved in filing an RCD, with case studies included to assist understanding. Iain will be responsible for Chapter 3: Making a Registered Community Design Application.
Iain is a European Design Attorney as well as a UK and European Patent Attorney. He is already a published author, having written How to Pass P3, the first-ever book on the UK patent drafting examination, and was responsible for a chapter in the European Patents Handbook on the patentability of computer-implemented inventions for a number of years.
