Logo Dispute Between DFB, Retail Chain Real To Continue Until At Least Summer

The dispute between the German Football Federation (DFB) and retail chain Real "will continue for a while longer," according to the DPA. A decision on whether the chain will be allowed to use the German eagle insignia on its products "is expected in a couple months." A German Patent & Trademark Office spokesperson said that the office "will not make a decision on the request by Real before the summer." A Munich court "previously sided with the DFB and prohibited the use of the German eagle on Real products through a temporary injunction." The reason for the court's decision "was the similarity between the eagle used by Real and the protected trademarks of the DFB" (DPA, 1/8).
