FILING A TRADEMARK REGISTRATION IN BAD FAITH: TRADEMARK GRABBING (OGH 17.09.2014, 4 OB 98/14M)

October 30th, 2014

Purpose of the trademark registration is to identify the origin of the brand. Due to the bad faith hoarding of brands (trademark grabbing) the origin is no longer identifiable.

The main goal is to make businesses with a similar concept buy rights or make them pay a penal payment through a trademark collection labelled as low as possible.
