Nicole KopankaDie einheitliche Wirkung der Gemeinschaftsmarke

About this book deutschenglish

A trademark is a name, a sign or a symbol for goods or services that shall differentiate them from goods or services of other owners. The trademark right is an exclusive right allowing its owner to exclude others from using identical or similar signs for identical or similar goods or services. However, the right unfolds its effect only territorially limited. The law of the granting Member State determines the trademark’s protection. Nevertheless, on the territory of the European Union the Community Trade Mark Regulation and the creation of the Community Trade Mark territorially enlarged this protection. By means of a single registration, a trademark right with effect for the entire EU territory arises.

The first part of this thesis analyses the question of how this vast territory affects the use of the Community Trade Mark. The focus of this analysis forms the necessary territorial scope of the use, in particular the interpretation of the terms "genuine" use "in the Community". The second part of the thesis will come to a procedural level with a focus on the scope of injunctions. The question is how far an injunction can reach, when the infringement merely realized on a limited area of the European Union.

These two territorial aspects are primarily in a tense relationship with the unitary character of the Community Trade Mark.
