Summary
In 2006 Annette Kur’s seminal essay on unfair competition protection against imitations and its impact on the free movement of goods was published in the liber amicorum for Eike Ullmann.2 In essence, she argued that in the light of ongoing harmonization of European IP and unfair competition law, namely the introduction of unregistered Community design protection and other secondary law instruments, the old carte blanche for national protection against slavish imitations from the Beele judgment no longer applied – or rather that Beele had never been carte blanche for national law.3
