The title protection journal Austria is a legal journal.
history
The magazine was founded in 2009 by rundy media GmbH, Mainaschaff as a specialist title on the subject of title protection and for the publication of title protection advertisements in Austria. A separate edition for the German market, the Titelschutz-Journal, has been published since 2002 .
The Austrian print edition appears fortnightly on Thursdays with a print run of approx. 1,200 copies. Readers include book, newspaper and magazine publishers, lawyers and law firms for trademark, copyright and media law, media associations, sound carriers, radio, TV, film and software producers, TV and radio Broadcasters and title protection agencies.
The title protection journal Austria publishes title protection advertisements in accordance with Section 80 of the Austrian Copyright Act and Section 9 of the Act against Unfair Competition. Such an advertisement protects the titles of printed matter (e.g. books, print media), film, audio and theatrical works as well as software products and websites against the use of the same or a similar title by another party before they appear. In order to be effective, the title protection notification must be in a medium commonly used for this purpose.
In addition, the title protection journal Austria provides information on current events and judgments in the field of trademark, copyright and media law. The online portal also contains information on the subject of title protection, offers the possibility of conducting national and international title and trademark searches and contains an archive of all print editions and a title search engine.
Legal background
A distinctive title is already protected when the work (book, magazine, film, etc.) is published, without the need for registration or other formality. Bringing this protection forward through a title protection notification gives legal certainty with regard to the name of the work during the planning phase.
It is important that the work comes onto the market within a reasonable period of time after the title protection advertisement has been placed, usually five to six months. Otherwise the title protection expires and the title becomes free again.
