Since joining our IP team in Düsseldorf, I have advised our clients on trade mark, design and unfair competition law. I specialise in trade mark portfolio strategy and management as well as brand enforcement and anti-counterfeiting.

Using a trade mark on miniature models does not take unfair advantage of the repute of the trade mark if the model is realistic and there is no attempt to exploit the reputation of the trade mark for commercial purposes beyond the true-to-life depiction.
