The question if and which slogans and claims can receive trademark protection is topic of a lot of disputes in Germany and throughout the European Union. Slogans Introduction The protection of slogans is very interesting for brand owners, because slogans are a key element in advertising. The consumers identify themselves with the slogans or associate a slogan with certain products and services. Therefore, slogans are eye catchers and indirectly help to encourage people to choose certain goods or services over others. In principle, slogans can be protected as trademarks. However, many applications fail if they are purely descriptive or lack distinctiveness. Examples

Currently, all eyes are on the World Cup in Brazil. Of course, a lot of people would like to participate in the big success of the soccer game between the different nations. But, to advertise and promote with the World Cup without a license can be a legal disaster and very expensive. Fact is that FIFA has protected a lot of logos, words, titles, symbols and other trademarks in relation to the 2014 FIFA World Cup which it will use, or allow others to use, under a formal agreement.

ConvergenceOn the basis of the convergence program the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM) is trying to align the official practice of the national trademark offices in Europe. The aim of the program is to provide transparency, legal certainty, and predictability for the benefit of examiners and users.   Background The reason for this project are the different procedures of the offices’ handling practice in relation to black/white trademarks, which has led to confusion. While some of the offices rule that black/white trademarks are protected in every color, others assume, that the protection is only for the black/white trademarks. Results of the Project
