The 12-year battle between Swiss chocolate manufacturer Lindt and German competitor Riegelein over the scope of protection of Lindt's 3-dimensional "bunny shape" trade mark has come to a final, final, end. The BGH (if I am counting correctly, in its third decision in the dispute) dismissed Lindt's final appeal (appeal against the decision of the lower court not to grant the right to appeal, "Nichtzulassungsbeschwerde"). So far, the news has only been announced by a press release by Riegelein, so the reasoning of the court is (to my knowledge) not yet public. It will not concern substantive trade mark law, anyway, and be of limited interest. News source here.
