M aking the m ost of G lasgow's Cultuzal Assets is a study on how the @ m om entum created by the Year of Culture can be taken forw ard and be è m ade to benefit Glasgow 's economy. To m axim ise the potential and im pact of cultural activities it is im portant to view arts and culture as m ore than m erely a collection of events, show s è and festivals for consum ption. Each cuitural sector such as design, theatre, film , the visual arts and m usic is alsq an industry, w hqre goods and @ services are produced, where products are boujht and sold, where supply and dem and operates, value added is created, and w here support servicés and structures are needed right through from production to @ consum ption. 1 k. * A key elem ent 6f both arts and culture is close association w ith creativity and skilis. This in fact creates vqlue added in vazious form s - econornic, educativez social and civic. Im portantly, the artistic attributes can be used @ to the benefit not only of those few sectors defined as the arts. They can be used additionally to the benefit of a1l industial sectors in the City. In that process industry's capacity to perform well on a broader front can be * Substantially enhanced. R71is is an im portant conceptual shift for policy * m akers to understand. As m ass m arkets fragm ent and niche m arkets becom e increasingly @ custom ised and im portant, the value of creative and designed com ponents in production are ever m ore im portant. @ H osv can Glasgow m eet the challenges of those opportunities? An anatysis of the relative strengths of Glasgow 's arts and cultura: scene 4 reveals: The City is strong at the level of generating ideas and projects across 4 the cultural sectors. It is undoubtedly a City w ith creative potential. * This creativity needs to be turned into production. It requires # people, resources and production capaddes to aid the transform ation of ideas into m arketabie products. 'I'he City lacks a @ sufficiently large class of cultural entrepreneuzs abie to identify, m anage and contzol the resources to the benefit of Glasgow. This applies particularly to m usic, theatre and film . There is also a @ weakness in term s of training particularly in the area of new m edia. @ (E) l a s#o :z1 .

This m eans Glasgow's culturai product is not sold as w eil as it should be outside of the City. Agents, agenciesz distributors and m iddle m en 4 either do not exist in sufficient num bers in the City or are based elsew'here, for exam ple, ën London. In short. com m ercial circuits are under-exploited and under-developed. As a consequence talent, # skills and prçfits leak out from the Glasgow econom y. # @ The built infrastructure - theatzes, concert halls and m useum s - is com parativety strong for the performins and visual arts, but iess so 4 for design. @ Glasgow vies with M anchester and Birm ingham as the UK's sacond cultural dty. M anchester is stronger in the fiim' , aud.io-visuai and @ m usic sectors, but Glasgow scores better in term s of the visual and perform ing arts and design. Birm ingham scores high in m usic and @ prestige perform ing arts. Yet, Glasgow's internztional cuitural @ profile is far higher. Glasgow is w eak in the electronic media, the needs of its film and m usic industries are largeiy unaddressed. These sectors are where * ultim ately reproducible and profitable products can be generated. * W hilst the Ye& of Culture has helped to im prove the situation substantially, there rem ains a long way still to go. To an extent Glasgow 's @ cultural program m e has been m edia driven rather than m arket oriented. Public sector agencies in the City have recognised the contzibution that arts and culture can m ake in general, such as its contribution to urban @ regeneration, dvic pride and social bonding, but they have not yet realized * Lhe potentia) of arts and culture as industries. As a consequence, support m echanism s devised by econom ic developm ent agencies - such as advisory services - have not been geared to è the needs of cultural operators.

  • The Willow Tea Rooms Trust
    O-032-17 TRADE MARKS ACT 1994 IN THE MATTER OF APPLICATION 3105102 BY THE WILLOW TEA ROOMS TRUST FOR THE TRADE MARK THE WILLOW TEA ROOMS AND THE OPPOSITION THERETO UNDER NUMBER 405148 BY ANNE MULHERN Background 1. The Willow Tea Rooms Trust (“the applicant”) applied for the trade mark THE WILLOW TEA ROOMS on 22 April 2015 in classes 35, 41, 42 and 43. 2. The application was accepted and published in the Trade Marks Journal for opposition purposes on 26 June 2015. Anne Mulhern opposes the trade mark application under sections 5(2)(b), 5(3) and 5(4)(a) of the Trade Marks Act (“the Act”). For sections 5(2)(b) and 5(3), Ms Mulhern relies upon two earlier trade mark registrations which she owns, as follows: (i) 1276805 (series of 2 marks) Class 42: Restaurant, tea room, catering and cafe services; all included in Class 42; but not including any of the aforesaid services relating to the provision of alcoholic drinks. Filing date: 1 October 1986; date registration procedure completed: 12 July 1991 (ii) 2251332A (series of 8 marks): Page 2 of 73 Goods and services in classes 9, 11, 16, 20, 21, 24, 30 and 43. Filing date: 3 November 2000; date registration procedure completed: 8 March 2002. 3. Ms Mulhern’s claim under section 5(2)(b) is that there exists a likelihood of confusion owing to the similarities/identity between the marks and the goods/services. Under section 5(3) of the Act, Ms Mulhern claims that the earlier marks have a reputation in certain goods and services such that use of the application without due cause would take unfair advantage of, or be detrimental to, the distinctive character or the repute of the earlier marks.
