We all love a good wrap-up, so here’s last week on the IPKat in a nutshell!

Katfriends Rudi Mathieu and Theodora Stamos contributed a guest post to The IPKat, discussing relatively recent amendments to Belgian law aimed at combating online piracy and the country’s first court order granting a dynamic and live blocking injunction.
Patents
Rose Hughes analysed case T 0722/24, in which the EPO upheld a patent for an enzalutamide formulation, rejecting arguments about lack of inventive step.
Trade Marks
Marcel Pemsel reported on the General Court’s judgment in case T-372/24, clarifying that storefront use of a trade mark in single-brand stores is not sufficient by itself to prove genuine use for all goods sold within, and that invoices not reproducing the trade mark may still constitute relevant evidence of use if they can be linked to the goods.
Oliver Fairhurst covered a failed attempt by Cornices Centre Ltd (CCL) to use trade mark law against a cyclist’s YouTube video, which led to unjustified threats, online pile-on, and a rejected harassment injunction.
The IPKat Team
The IPKat team welcomed Wissam Bentazar, a PhD candidate in Law at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), and Kliment Markov, a lawyer at CWB, as new InternKats.
Söğüt Atilla, Oliver Fairhurst, and Marcel Pemsel will continue to contribute as GuestKats, and Simone Lorenzi as an InternKat.
The IPKat also thanked and bid farewell to GuestKat Alessandro Cerri and InternKat Asude Sena Moya.
