Court decisions
Most judicial decisions on intellectual property concern disputes over trade mark protection. This IP right accounted for 57 per cent of the 192 court decisions made in 2018.
Figures and information on court decisions in Switzerland concerning intellectual property. The IPI is regularly informed of court judgments on intellectual property.
The figures on IP rights also provide some interesting insights. The courts had to make the most decisions concerning trade mark law(110). This was followed by patent law (17), Swissness/geographical indications (11) and design law (2). A note on these figures – a court case might discuss both trade mark law and copyright law, for example. The decision would then be included in both categories.
The judgments presented here correspond to the number of decisions that the courts have provided us with. These are the decisions that we have been informed of. The statistics are therefore not exhaustive.
You can find an anonymised overview of all decisions here: Statistics_decisions_2018 (in German). Due to data protection requirements, the decisions themselves are not passed on to third parties.
