Brands are
intellectual property and constitute a
significant part of corporate value. Indicating
origin and certifying quality, they serve to
establish, expand and maintain market standing.
However, successful developments and new
ideas.
Patents and
registered utility models protecting technical
inventions, trademark registration to protect a
company’s “good name” or registered of a design
patent to protect shape and
coloring
always make it easier to enforce an injunction
to restrain further infringement and claim
damages.
Industrial property law
constitutes the legal basis for protection of
industrial and intellectual achievements and the
interests associated with these achievements and
it enables legal action to be taken against
infringements of industrial designs and
patents.
The German law allows brand and
product registrations in different ways as
patents, trademarks, utility models and design
patents.
