In today’s Rzeczpospolita, I addressed the topic of protecting the appearance of a product, pointing out firstly the principle of permissibility of imitation, but secondly trying to determine to what extent it is limited in many areas of intellectual property law. Thus, I write about what slavish imitation is in the Unfair Competition Law and to what extent the external appearance of a product (design) can be protected by copyright, industrial designs and trademarks. 👉 The topic of cumulative protection by intellectual property rights is fascinating, it shows how many conflicts between the interests of different market players have not yet been precisely resolved – but it is worth being aware of the existing dangers or opportunities.
