Trademark Glossary
There are numerous technical terms in trademark law. We explain these in our Trademark Glossary.
Term | Main definition |
---|---|
License | A trademark license allows licensees to use the trademark for their own products. Licenses may be registered in the Trademark Register. It is recommended to conclude written licensing agreements. |
License analogy | License analogy is a method of computing damages to be paid by the infringer in case of trademark infringement. |
Likelihood of confusion | Trademark owners may assert a number of claims under trademark law not only against identical trademarks, but also against similar trademarks if there is likelihood of confusion on the part of the relevant public. There is likelihood of confusion if the marks to be compared and the goods/services to be compared are identical or similar. |
Locarno Classification | Locarno Classification is an international classification used for the purposes of the registration of industrial designs. When applying for a design, the Locarno classes must be specified. |
Logo | A logo may be registered as a figurative mark or word/figurative mark. Where applicable, additional protection as a design is useful. |
Lost profit | Trademark owners may assert various claims against infringers, including damages in the form of lost profits. |
