Hello had a shishabar 9 years ago my "business partner"
closed shishabar he wanted the logo what I paid for and the right one on it
found out that he stole the logo files from my laptop and had the logo patented… What can I do? Got the graphic artist as my witness that he only sold it to me and that I have all the rights…
is there a chance to do something?
or does someone know a good lawyer to whom I can go / call or which lawyer helps me there?
please only answer if you can help me on stupid comments I don't feel like it
It is best to deal with a lawyer, I think you can do something and you get the logo back
You don't even have to come with the lawyer. If he has patented the logo (you mean, however, has registered as a trademark) and he has no rights to it, you can object to it. For that I would call the DPMA, they are usually happy to help.
It would be good, of course, if you got the bill from the graphic artist and possibly even a contract about the rights of use. The problem is that you may have to pay the lawyer yourself. It depends on how the story ends. Therefore DPMA first.
