Die Sicherungsabtretung von Markenrechten

Antje Brämer examines how the assignment of trademark rights for security purposes takes place under the law and studies the problems this creates. Titles to a trademark are often the most important capital a company possesses. Since the abolition of the link between trademark rights and the business operation of the owner in 1992, trademark rights can also be used as collateral for a loan and transferred to the lender for this purpose. The author establishes the possible objects and the prerequisites for the effectiveness of the assignment of trademark rights, studies the distribution of rights and obligations between the person providing security and the recipient of security and the exploitation of trademark rights when a crisis arises.
