In our series, we travel through the calendar year – from the atmospheric light of the dark season to the sparkling splendour of Christmas. In between, we get romantic on Valentine's Day, surprisingly comfortable with seating furniture and cosy in "Cozy November". Because for us, good design is in season all year round.
Lights, floor lamps, table lamps ....
A light rises in the darkness
When the alarm clock rings in the morning, it is still dark. Tired, we reach for the light switch and a light comes on. "Lamps, floor lamps, table lamps...", we can find many of them in the design register in a wide variety of colours and shapes. Take a look for yourself!

Design-Number 402011004383-0001
Last year, the European Court of Justice and the Federal Court of Justice also dealt with a registered design for a bicycle and motorbike accessory: In design invalidity proceedings, the courts had to examine whether the design of the underside of a bicycle or motorbike saddle could be eligible for protection. The invalidity applicant was of the opinion that the underside of the saddle was excluded from design protection pursuant to Section 4 DesignG, as it was not visible as a structural element of a bicycle or motorbike during its "intended use" - riding.
However, the courts interpreted the term "intended use" very broadly, so that actions upstream and downstream of the main purpose (e.g. storage or transport of the saddle) could also be covered. This broad understanding has created greater clarity regarding the protectability of components of complex products and significantly strengthened design protection for such products.

Just a moment ago we changed it to "summer time" in the hope of a fresh, bright spring and long, bright, balmy summer evenings. And bang, it's October again and we turn the clocks back again at the end of the month. All of a sudden it's dark very early again.
