In trademark law, signs can be, for example: words, letters, sounds, shapes, three-dimensional designs or colors. In trademark law, a distinction is made primarily between word and image trademarks, although combinations are possible.<\/p>\n

National trademark protection can also arise under trademark law through long-term use of a trademark in legal transactions and the acquisition of a high degree of recognition. In order to obtain EU-wide trademark protection, you can register a so-called community trademark with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO<\/a>). Trademark protection that goes beyond the borders of the EU is also possible under trademark law, a so-called IR trademark.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1697548869211{padding-top: 10px !important;}”]A brand is protected under trademark law not only from identical brands, but also from similar brand names with a risk of confusion. It should be noted that only the goods and services for which the trademark was registered are protected under trademark law. The duration of trademark protection under trademark law is basically: 10 years, but can if necessary. be extended.<\/p>\n

    Trademark law is primarily regulated in the Trademark Act, but also in the BGB and UWG, among others. At the EU level, the Trademark Directive (89\/104\/EEC) is particularly worth mentioning in trademark law, as is the Madrid Trademark Agreement (MMA) at the international level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
