Trademark Protection for Ornamental Shapes?
from IX - Overlapping Rights
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 September 2020
The overlap between trademark law and copyright or design law has grown with the extension of trademark protection for subject matter that was traditionally protected only by copyright and/or design law. This extension has been triggered not only by the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement (Article 15(1)) but also by prior national and regional initiatives (e.g., Article 2 of the 1988 EU Trademark Directive). The overlap thus covers slogans and titles; two-dimensional artistic works (figurative marks such as color combinations, logos, graphical user interfaces, or computer visual displays); musical works (sound marks); and three-dimensional artistic works (shape marks).
