The Austrian Supreme Court (8 ObA 45/12v of 24 Jan. 2013) has
recently given us some enlightment on which basis the remuneration due to an
employee for his invention is to be calculated. In an action for a declaratory
judgment the question put to it was with regard to an employee inventor of a
company 100% owned by a parent in a group of companies. The subsidiary company,
the employer, has its own responsibilities in the group, namely for the economic
area of Central Eastern Europe (CEE) and worldwide for certain products. (April 2013)

In a recent judgment the Austrian Supreme IP Tribunal had to decide on the
likelihood of confusion between the older figurative mark "e@sybank"
and the younger Austrian figurative mark "e@syCredit". (March 2013)

As already reported some time ago (news April 2011) RED BULL's trade mark
"FLÜGERL" (meaning "small wings" in the German
language) had been cancelled as the Austrian Supreme Court found the sign was
only used in a descriptive manner for alcoholic drinks, but not as a designation
of origin. (February 2013)
