PATENT
The company is in a good position, it has a patent for ...” Such or similar sentences can frequently be read in the business press, why? A patent is a monopoly right which gives the proprietor of the patent a right that only the proprietor may use the invention protected by the patent. The proprietor can also decide to grant a licence to the patent to a third party and receive income for this in the form of licence fees.
TRADEMARK
Trademarks have a great influence on us all. No matter whether we are purchasing a product from daily life or need a new washing machine, we search for a product with the trademark which we are already familiar with and with which we have had good experiences.
UTILITY MODEL
The utility model protects the technical features of an invention similarly to the patent which has the result that a utility model and a patent are frequently similar in structure. The protection requirements of the utility model are also similar to those of the patent. The utility model is therefore frequently designated as the small patent although there are significant differences from the patent.
DESIGN
Products are frequently shaped by means of the purely technically determined design in order to set the product apart from technically comparable other products. Ultimately it is the design which gives the consumer a first impression which the consumer feels addressed to him personally and this can be decisive for the purchase of the product.

The repair clause of the new EU design law
With EU Regulation No. 2024/2822 and EU Directive 2024/2823, the EU has introduced new regulations with important changes for EU design law.
One of these changes concerns the so-called repair clause, which significantly restricts design protection for visible spare parts. The aim is to liberalize the market for visible spare parts.
Trademark, what for?
Trademarks are of great importance for us all. We all known that when purchasing a new car, a television or even only a toiletry article, we are guided by the good experiences which we have already had with products of “our” brand. If we require a subsequent product, we firstly look for a successor which comes from “our” brand.
Why are industrial property rights meaningful?
The development of a new technical product or a new technical process frequently requires major capital investment which must be refinanced by a long marketing of the new development.
If the development is marketed without having been protected beforehand by appropriate property rights, it will be imitated by third parties and the marketing and therefore the investment made will be jeopardized.
