| Advice for use in practice | The enforcement of an unjustified preliminary injunction may lead to claims for damages against the trademark owner. Accordingly, it should be carefully examined in advance whether the claims actually exist. |
| Agent trademark | An agent trademark has nothing to do with 007. It is a trademark that is registered by a business partner, although the trademark is actually owned by the principal. It depends on the nature and quality of the business relationship whether an agent relationship exists. It may be given, for example, if a foreign distribution partner applies for the trademark abroad. |
| Application | The application is a request for the registration of a trademark at the Trademark Office. A trademark will be registered if it is considered to be registrable, the official fees have been paid, and, depending on the Office, the registration is not prevented by an opposition. |
| Aural mark | see Sound mark |
