Infringement by parts
Our thanks to the good people at Hogan Lovells, and particularly to Mareike Hunfeld and Juliane Diefenbach, for drawing our attention to a German case that makes a nice, clear point: with designs, you get what you file. The case, I ZR 124/10, "Wine Decanter" before the BGH, concerned RCD 000383757-0001 which showed a wine decanter ((though it might look more like a specimen jar), alone in some views but with a base in others. The infringer (or, as it turned out, non-infringer) supplied the decanter but not the base. Read the Lovells article here for more information.
