Never again no idea about title rights

The German Trade Mark Act not only protects trade marks and company names but work titles, too. Work titles are the names/designations of printed publications, cinematic works, music works, stage works or other comparable works. (Sec. 5 para. 1 and 3 German Trade Mark Act). Such comparable works include computer programmes, apps, databases and under certain circumstances even domain names according to case law. In the digital era title rights may offer an (added) layer of protection for rights owners. In particular in situations where trade mark rights are not (yet) available.
