THE COMMENTARY ON THE CASE OF THE TUNISIAN RM FM RADIO JINGLE BY MARCIN MIODUSZEWSKI

We recommend an article written by Michał Radkowski and published on Wirtualnemedia.pl under the title “Radio station from Tunisia plays RMF FM jingles. “Someone recorded them or downloaded them from the Internet”. The commentary on the case of the Tunisian RM FM radio jingle by Marcin Mioduszewski, a lawyer, deserves special attention of those interested in legal protection of sound forms emitted in radio broadcasts. “Even such short musical forms as a jingle can be protected.

Such, especially short, forms can also be claimed as sound trademarks.” Read more at the link: https://www.wirtualnemedia.pl/artykul/stacja-radiowa-tunezja-rm-fm-gra-dzingle-rmf-fm-lamanie-prawa
