Intellectual property rights (IPR) and in particular trademarks and designs – in a nutshell.

Our webinar series 2020 on Intellectual Property (IP) focuses on trademarks and designs, but also aims to provide a general overview of technical and non-technical intellctual property rights and addresses current IP issues. With the overview or 1 x 1 / basic webinars (dates 1, 3/4 and 6/7) we would like to give a short overview and facilitate the (re)start for those who are interested in this topic professionally for the first time or after a longer period of time. Topics 8 and 9 require some basic knowledge, either through previous work experience or by participating in the first webinars. Topics 2, 5 and 10 deal - as special dates - with important current special questions (e.g. amendments to the German Trademark Modernization Act and BREXIT – what happens to your EU trademarks and International Registrations designating the EU after the UK officially leaves the EU trademark system scheduled for 31 December 2020).
