Copycat copyright infringement


Questioner

I have a company logo on paper company car and website etc just a house style Now I came across a post on linkedin where a 100% competitor presented his new company car I was shocked I thought hey that's my house style where something has been left out. When I look further I see that he also uses my logo on linkedin albeit mirrored negatively. I informed the man with it must have been an accident But so far no response. I read on the site http://auteursrechteninbreuk.nl/copyright-logo that this is not allowed just like that. Is this allowed just like that and what now MVG

Lawyer

It depends on whether this logo was designed especially for you, which is usually not the case these days. Only in the case of an exclusive license can you claim the use of the house style and logo. But it can also, in combination with the other facts and data, result in an infringement of the Trade Name Act.
