The current issue of FOCUS Spezial “Recht und Rat” (Law and Advice) once again ranks Anja Groeneveld among the leading names in family law—and has done so without interruption since 2018.
SWR interviewed lawyer Thomas Janssen about a current trademark law case. The focus is on the question of how far the protection of a square packaging shape for chocolate bars, registered as a 3D trademark on the basis of market penetration, extends and whether this protection can also be asserted by the trademark owner against similar products, such as square-packaged oat bars.
