Court

Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU)

Our Position

The applicable law to the supplementary remedies/sanctions requested in a case dealing with Registered Community Designs (RCD) should be either lex fori or the place where the act of infringement took place, i.e., where there was illegal use of the RCD, unless there are disputed actions of multiple infringements in many European Union countries.
