Welcome to the November 2011 edition of Shepherd and Wedderburn's Intellectual Property E-Bulletin.

In this edition we consider a landmark ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on the meaning of the term “human embryo” under European law and examine a further CJEU case that concerns an issue that some would consider more important than such matters of life and death – watching the football on telly. 

Our focus remains at the CJEU as the E-bulletin concludes with updates on two familiar trade mark topics that have seen significant developments recently: the “AdWords” argument between Marks and Spencer and Interflora and the “Budweiser” battle between Anheuser-Busch and Budvar.
