This book addresses the application and the implications of Art. 25(1)(e) CDR - the basis for invalidation of a Community design on the basis of infringement of a prior distinctive sign. This potentially attractive provision, allowing for an invalidation with reference to various legal provisions, results to date in a lower number of invalidations than Art. 25(1)(b) CDR - the other basis for invalidation available for the owners of distinctive signs.
