Abstract
Examines the policies underpinning technical functionality in trade mark law. Reviews US literature on the conflicting policies behind functionality, whether such conflicts also exist within EU technical functionality, and ECJ cases on the rationale behind functionality exclusions. Considers the options for ensuring Regulation 2017/1001 art.7(1) aligns with the policy of channelling technically functional characteristics into the patent system.
