Intellectual property
Paper details:
Mr. Lebotin is a designer of luxury shoes and handbags based in the Emirates. He is internationally known for his stiletto heel shoes with a red sole. He finds that other manufacturers of low-end products are imitating his shoes to increase their sales. For the moment, he has hardly been concerned with the protection of his activity by intellectual property. He would like to know if copyright, design law or trademark law could be of any help to him, both in protecting the name “Lebotin” and in protecting the shoes, or even the carmine red sole.
Outline the conditions for the protection of each right and assess whether they are met in the Emirates.
Mr. Lebotin consults us regarding the protection of his activity by intellectual property. He would like to know if copyright, design law or trademark law could be of any help to him, both in protecting the name “Lebotin” and in protecting the shoes, or even the carmine red sole.
This situation indeed concerns several intellectual property rights that must be analyzed one after the other in order to advise Mr. Lebotin on his protection strategy in the Emirates but also in neighboring countries. In addition, it plans to export its products to the European Union.
It should also be noted that Mr. Lebotin enjoys, like any natural person, protection of his family name against theft by a third party who would not be legitimate to use it.
