Store design is becoming increasingly important: Long before Apple Store and Co. original store designs have captivated us. In an increasingly competitive market, store design entails considerable material and non-material value.
However, protection against counterfeit store design so far has been discussed in science only rarely. This book closes the gap by analysing the relevant categories of German intellectual property protection (trade-mark, design, copyright and competition law).
It not only provides an overview of the essential legal issues, but also gives concrete tips for protectable design. The book is thus aimed at practitioners in law firms and companies alike.
