design patent


Explanation:
This is the british term for Geschmacksmuster. I don't think that you need to translate the "schutz" separately, as the design patent already implies the protection as such.

Depending on the context, you may have to add soemthing like "...is protected by design patent."

Explanation:
1. Die aus einem Immaterialgüterrecht - z.B.

Umgekehrt ist aber auch die Imitation von Produkten ein wichtiger Bestandteil des Wettbewerbs, da erst hierdurch eine angemessene Versorgung der Nachfrager ermöglicht wird. Das geltende Recht erkennt die Notwendigkeit beider Strategien im Wettbewerb an.

The monopoly position granted to the inventor or creator of a new achievement ("Innovation") by the law of copyright or a law of industrial property - for instance patent law, protection of patterns and designs act, trademark act - is an essential impulse for progress in any field of knowledge. On the other hand imitations are an important component of competition, too, as only in this way a suitable supply for the inquirers is made possible.
