Trade Marks Act 2002

Administrative provisions and miscellaneous - Miscellaneous - No compensation

187: No compensation for diminution in rights attaching to trade mark

You could also call this:

"You can't get money if the new law makes your trade mark less valuable"

You cannot get money from the government if your trade mark rights become less valuable because of this new law. For example, if your trade mark is taken off the official list (called a register), you can't ask the government to pay you for that loss. This rule applies to any way that this law might make your trade mark less powerful or useful.
