Community Design Regulation
(EC) No 6/2002
Zusammenfassung
The Community design is well-established in modern commercial life. More than 900,000 Community designs have meanwhile been registered and a sheer immeasurable number of unregistered Community designs have come into being. Unlike in the field of EU trade mark law, there have been no reforms or fundamental changes in the realm of Community design law in recent years. Nonetheless, it is safe to say that it was high time for a comprehensive update, as there has been a deluge of decisions handed down by the EUIPO, the GC, the CJ and the Community design courts since the release of the first edition in spring 2015. Furthermore, the Office's guidelines have been significantly revised. In addition, various amendments were recommended as a result of the design study published in June 2016. All of these aspects are commented in detail in the respective context of this profoundly revised second edition.
The benefits at one glance:
systematic article-by-article commentary on the CDR
commentary on measures and remedies under the Enforcement Directive (2004/48/EC)
analysis of the assertion of Community design rights out of court as well as in litigation in summary and main proceedings in all EU Member States
This commentary is written by practitioners for practitioners "deserving a place on the bookshelf of any professional or student interested in the EU design and trade mark system."

Abstract
The Community design is well-established in modern commercial life. More than 900,000 Community designs have meanwhile been registered and a sheer immeasurable number of unregistered Community designs have come into being. Unlike in the field of EU trade mark law, there have been no reforms or fundamental changes in the realm of Community design law in recent years. Nonetheless, it is safe to say that it was high time for a comprehensive update, as there has been a deluge of decisions handed down by the EUIPO, the GC, the CJ and the Community design courts since the release of the first edition in spring 2015. Furthermore, the Office's guidelines have been significantly revised. In addition, various amendments were recommended as a result of the design study published in June 2016. All of these aspects are commented in detail in the respective context of this profoundly revised second edition.
