Trademark Glossary
There are numerous technical terms in trademark law. We explain these in our Trademark Glossary.
| Term | Main definition |
|---|---|
| Recall | The trademark owner is entitled to a recall in case of trademark infringement. |
| Registered | The “R in a circle” indicates that the relevant trademark followed by this sign is a registered trademark. |
| Registrability | Registrability means a trademark meeting the requirements for trademark protection. Older third-party IP rights may nevertheless hinder the final registration. |
| Registration | The registration of a trademark gives rise to the exclusive right. Once the trademark has been registered, it may be enforced. |
| Registration date | Date on which the trademark was registered. |
| Renewal | The term of protection of a trademark may be renewed against payment of the corresponding fees. Renewal is possible as often as desired. |
| Retail services/Wholesale services | Retail services/wholesale services include services directly related to retail/wholesale activities. |
| Right-preserving use | Right-preserving use means that the trademark owner actually uses the trademark in the course of trade for the registered goods or services. |
| Risk of repetition | Claims for injunction require that there is a risk of the infringer committing the specific infringing act again in the future, which is referred to as the risk of repetition. Even a single infringement leads to a risk of repetition. The risk of repetition can only be eliminated by a cease and desist declaration with a penalty clause. |
