Here’s your regular recap of the IPKat stories published last week.
Copyright
GuestKat Kevin Bercimuelle-Chamot analysed the thin line between homage and infringement, comparing two campaign photos published by popular fashion brands. For more details, click here.
Former GuestKat Mirko Brüß summarised a Higher Regional Court’s of Nürnberg ruling in which the key issue was whether an online marketplace could be held liable for damages and injunctive relief, when a third-party vendor uses a copyright-infringing image to advertise their product on that platform. The German court found the online marketplace liable under CJEU YouTube/Cyando standard. More information available here.
Trade marks
Marcel Pemsel assessed whether Jaguar Land Rover Limited and Puma Energy International SA signs should be considered conceptually similar or even identical. More details here.
