Title rights (also known as work title rights) are part of Trademark Law. Due to the limited number of use cases they form an area where specific expertise is required. In addition, there are only few similar legal systems in the international context, and the protection of work titles without the need for registration is largely specific to German Law. Title rights are particularly relevant in the media sector, where they offer an extremely effective mechanism for protecting the name of a work.

We support the development of new titles, carry out title clearance searches and secure the introduction of titles through additional protective measures. Our range of consulting services also includes the enforcement or defence of title rights, including representation in court, e.g. in summary proceedings (preliminary injunction) and in main action proceedings, insofar as, for example, injunctive relief or damages are claimed.
