If the infringement action is only possible after the trademark registration

This decision sheds important light on your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

If the infringement action is only possible after the trademark registration, a certificate of that registration issued after the summons has no effect on the validity of that action.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points to remember

• Strictly comply with the legal time limits for appeals.
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence).
