your argument by analysing the following issues:
1) Analyse the products, their territorial IP rights, and determine whether the defendant’s claims, n your

parody. Add any other relevant defence arguments that you would consider were you in the defence team.
3) Consider any and all legal IP issues to be raised in a lawsuit for trademark infringement for the Chewy
Vuiton bag, patented in the US, and analyse the appropriate differences (and legal instruments available) if
such a product were registered in a civil law country system.
4) Summarize your argument in the conclusion in the form of a closing argument in the defendant’s legal team
