NO ALTERATION OF CONTRACT DUE TO SILENCE DURING AN INFORMATION EVENT (OGH VOM 29.07.2015, 9 OB 23/15W)

Monday, October 12th, 2015

An information event held by the landlord is just a declaration of intentions, not an offer to contract changes. Missing contradictions from the tenants to the landlord’s suggestion can therefore not be seen as an implied commitment.

PRICE MARKING OBLIGATIONS FOR TOUR OPERATORS REGARDING COMMERCIALS FOR HOLIDAY PACKAGES (OGH VOM 11.08.2015, 4 OB 107/15M)

Monday, October 12th, 2015

A tour operator is not contrary to European Union law or national standards when he adverts in a brochure for holiday packages with prices beginning “at” regarding specific seasons, as long as he shows the seasonal price differences clearly.
However, if the tour operator suggests an allegedly exclusivity of prices and if he does not aim at a concrete addressed audience, he can be accused of misleading business practices.

EUGH: THREEDIMENSIONAL BRAND – EXISTING SIGN OF TRADEMARKS, REGISTRATION BARRIER (EUGH 16.09.2015, C-215/14, SOCIÉTÉ DES PRODUITS NESTLÉ)

Monday, October 12th, 2015

The applicant of a trademark must be able to prove that the features he wants to register are only attributable to his way of manufacturing so that the origin of the product can be clearly identifiable.
