Owners of a registered trade mark, a company sign or an unregistered sign which is perceived as a trade mark due to its constant use in the course of trade are entitled to a defence against trade mark infringement. A trademark infringement exists under certain conditions.
First of all, it is necessary that the owner of the trade mark right can show a prior/senior right to the trade mark. In short, this means that the trade mark right/trademark must have arisen before the potentially infringing sign. If this is the case, which must be decided on a case-by-case basis, it is also necessary that the infringing trade mark is identical or similar to the earlier trade mark.
