👉Legal Insights on Unauthorized Perfume Refillings 🎙️Our partner, Dr. Rani Mallick joined Andreas Fuhlisch CEO of VKE Cosmetics Association VKE-Kosmetikverband in a new episode of VKE’s Legal Talks discussing the phenomenon of unauthorized perfume refilling.🧴   This practice involves transferring original perfumes into smaller bottles and selling them at a higher price per ml, violating brand rights and breaching cosmetic regulations. 🚫   Rani provided key legal insights on this issue during the talk. For VKE members, the full session is available here: https://lnkd.in/dKPku_gm   LL-Partners are frequent guests at the Legal Talks, covering topics such as Dupes and Claims on Product Efficacy.   #LegalTalks #PerfumeIndustry #BrandRights #CosmeticRegulations #LLPartners #VKE #CosmeticsLaw

Two days full of #networking and legal insights in Zuffenhausen at Porsche. Our colleagues Philip Schmitz (Hamburg) and Dr. Julian Erfurth (Berlin) attended the 7th Expert Forum #Automotive Law. The main topics were: 🚘Learning, not only from our daily practice for automotive clients, what recent enforcement trends are when it comes to #advertising for cars (e.g. indication of energy consumption pursuant to the new PKW-EnVKV). 🚘Practical (or rather theoretical?) risks of class actions pursuant to the new VDuG, in particular the risk of claims, e.g. for damages in the form of „#Abhilfeklagen“. 🚘Cases tackled by consumer associations regarding #influencer marketing and using customer ratings in the advertising of products (new provisions established by the Omnibus Directive). 🚘Trends in automation, autonomous driving, distribution law, data privacy law and data law issues. A big thank you to Porsche AG for having us and to Dr. Andreas Ottofülling of Wettbewerbszentrale for organizing this great event. #PKWEnVKV #ClassActions #CustomerRatings #LubbergerLehment

📆I‘m on my way to the 7th Expert Forum #Automotive Law that will be held in Stuttgart on 20 February 2025. 🚗I look forward to discussing legal developments, hot topics in the industry, and recent case law with other legal experts in the automotive sector. These will be, among others, class actions („#Abhilfeklage“), the relatively new rules on the indication of energy consumption for car advertising („PKW-EnVKV“) as well as influencer marketing and customer ratings. 👊It‘s great to attend the #event together with my colleague Dr. Julian Erfurth Erfurth. #ClassActions #PKWEnVKV #CustomerRatings #LubbergerLehment

The company Monster Energy keeps on delivering interesting #trademark decisions. Recently, the EU's General Court confirmed that the trademark application "Insomnia Energy" takes unfair advantage of the trademark "Monster Energy" (Art. 8 V EU Trademark Regulation).   ▶️The decision shows how strong the legal protection of well-known marks can be.   ▶️It opens up perspectives in the fight against look-a-likes which typically only adopt the look and feel of the well-known original.   The full text of the decision can be found here: https://lnkd.in/d4QF4KhA. #IP #TrademarkLaw #Lookalikes

Wer Lust auf große Namen, Fälle mit Alltagsbezug und Internationalität hat, ist im Marken- und #Wettbewerbsrecht richtig. 📰In diesem Artikel der azur Karriere berichtet unser Partner Dr. Andreas Lubberger unter anderem: "Dass einem hier Produkte aus dem Alltag begegnen, das gibt es in keinem anderen Rechtsgebiet so stark. Und dennoch steckt dahinter eine andere Sicht: Da hat ein Unternehmer etwas aufgebaut. Da tut sich ein Vorhang auf, und ich blicke dahinter. Es ist spannend, die Menschen kennenzulernen, die so etwas aufgebaut haben.“ ❓Neugierig?

At our annual „Markenherbst“ #event, clients and colleagues gathered at “Gebrüder Fritz” in Charlottenburg to discuss intellectual property topics over a glass of wine and a buffet. Some of many takeaways: - It will be interesting to see what #extraterritorial effects the #AI Act will have, considering the very different approaches to regulating AI around the globe. - The “#Monster” decision by the Federal Patent Court raises the (old) question of what a word mark actually is. - The Green Claims Directive in its current state won’t be much fun to apply. We look forward to the next time (in our new office space)! #AIAct #Trademarks #GreenClaims #IP #LubbergerLehment
