Fashion IP never stands still. The Journal of Intellectual Property Law & Practice's annual round-up brings together the most significant fashion-related IP decisions of the year, spanning copyright, designs, trade marks and unfair competition law across key jurisdictions including Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK.

Our IP team contributed to this year's edition, covering decisions handed down between October 2024 and November 2025. Manon Rieger-Jansen, Louise Sargeant, Christine Danos, Charlotte Edmondson and Rebecca Hamilton led the collation and editing, drawing on expertise from Bird & Bird IP lawyers across multiple jurisdictions to deliver a clear, practitioner-focused overview of the developments that matter most.
