IP Experts LIVE: Webinar for IP professionals
IP Experts LIVE is a webinar series by BARDEHLE PAGENBERG (see our program PDF).
Our experts will provide you with insights on selected aspects of German and European IP law with a focus on practical and strategic guidance. At the end of each seminar, there will be a Q & A session.
What is it about?
Counterfeit goods worth hundreds of billions of euros enter the EU market every year. Border seizure proceedings remain one of the most effective tools for IP rights holders to intercept infringing goods before they reach consumers – without needing to know the identity of the infringer in advance. At the same time, new distribution models – particularly direct-to-consumer shipments in small parcels from China – are challenging the traditional customs enforcement framework.
Our experts Claus Eckhartt and Pascal Böhner will address the following aspects:
- What are the legal foundations of border seizure proceedings in Germany and the EU?
- What makes an application effective in practice, and how should internal workflows be organized after a seizure?
- How do border seizure proceedings and online enforcement interact as part of a holistic IP protection strategy?
- How can logistics service providers enabling direct shipments from China be held liable as intermediaries? Insights from the recent decision of the Higher Regional Court Düsseldorf.
To receive practical guidance on these questions from an attorney’s perspective, please register for this webinar.
