Bose claims European ban earbuds

In order to protect the shape of her new ear phones BOSE registered the ear phones as a European Design. The product turned out to become a great success. The drawback of success is that third parties always want to gain from it as well. In some cases it inspires malignant companies to produce counterfeit products.

 

Bose stumbled upon a web store where the ear pieces were being offered for less than 50% of the price. Naturally Bose suspected that an infringement was at hand.

The court declared that there was indeed an infringement on the design rights of Bose, the ear pieces on the website were similar to those registered by Bose as a design. All further trade in the ear pieces on the website was therefore prohibited. Since the procedure was based on a European registration this ban is effective in the entire European Union.

About Abcor

Abcor specializes in applying for trademark and design rights. We do this worldwide for both SMEs and international companies, but often everything starts with an initial Benelux application. Our aim is to relieve the client of all the worries, which is why we take care of all the steps, from initial advice on what to apply for and how, right through to registration.

In addition to applying for trademarks, we also manage portfolios for our clients. We ensure that trademarks are renewed on time, that the right organizations are paid (given the many fraudulent companies), and we support our clients on issues.

In addition, we are sparring partners for our customers on new products and how to shape and claim new ideas.
