Well-drafted agreements may include contractual penalties&nbsp;<em>if<\/em>&nbsp;requested, to allow rapid enforcement without requiring complex proof of exact damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are trademark license agreements registered in Germany?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While license agreements are legally binding&nbsp;<em>between parties<\/em>&nbsp;upon execution, entering the license into the register maintained by the German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA) or EUIPO provides additional legal security against third parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do coexistence agreements conflict with German antitrust law?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, if not carefully drafted, that may be the case. Market-sharing agreements that unnecessarily restrict competition without a valid trademark justification can violate Article 101 TFEU or Section 1 GWB (German Act against Restraints of Competition). We ensure all commissions comply strictly with antitrust boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact our offices in Heidelberg<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secure your trademark rights and expand your business in Germany with trusted legal advice.
