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.
