Protecting Labeling for Goods and Services
Labels which are neither descriptive nor misleading and which make it possible to differentiate the goods and services of one company from those of other companies can be protected as trademarks. Those can be words, numbers and bildliche Darstellungen, but also three-dimensional shapes or acoustic signals. The trademark gives the owner the exclusive right to the usage of the trademark to mark goods or services for which the trademark is in effect. The duration of the protection generally lasts 10 years from the date of application and can be extended as often as desired. The protection expires if the trademark is not put into use.
