Recently, a design application for cups in the name of the firm Jägermeister has been denied. The images displayed a bottle and a glass. The court judged that the refusal was legitimate, because the Locarno classification (a glass) did not coincide with the images. Jägermeister should have used dotted lines for the bottle , if they really wanted it to be displayed as well. In this case it was not clear what the protection was claimed for, so the application was rightfully denied. Therefore, prevent these type of problems and use the expertise of a recognized European Trademark Attorney. (Image: fictional similar erroneous picture- source image: TeWe)
