At home in the world of ideas.
Interview with Dr. Stefan Eichhammer, Counsel at GSKH.

Which were your most impressive 2 cases relating to premium trademarks?

One of my most impressive cases was defending a client against a famous fashion brand owner. The counterparty claimed infringement of their three-dimensional mark registered for luxury hand bags. For that purpose, the counterparty obtained a preliminary injunction in an ex parte proceeding. However, we managed to reverse the decision before the upper instance (Higher Regional Court) and to rebut counterparty’s claims in its entirety.

In another high-profile case I was successfully enforcing the trademark rights for a well-known jewelry brand owner operating in the high-end segment. After we had successfully brought an infringement action against the counterparty (a fierce competitor), we have been able to negotiate a favorable and comprehensive settlement agreement. The settlement agreement enabled our client to enforce its business model against the competitor.
