Dictionary of Intellectual Property/Wörterbuch Gewerblicher Rechtsschutz

The book Kettler Stefan Wörterbuch Gewerblicher Rechtsschutz und Urheberrecht - Dictionary of Intellectual Property and Unfair Competition Law Deutsch-Englisch/Englisch-Deutsch (deutsch/englisch) This dictionary appeared earlier this year but I have not found reviews of it. This is not a review either – just a description. But I have just had to translate a trademark case (which I occasionally refer to below) and so at last I was able to form a more concrete, if superficial, impression. To put the cart before the horse, I have the impression this is a highly reliable specialized dictionary which I would use beside Uexküll (see below) for texts in this field. Reviews The dictionary can be bought at amazon.de, where there is already one review, giving it five stars. When I saw the review was by Inge Noeninger, a German translator who lives in New Brunswick, I realized it could be taken seriously! Inge praises the dictionary as up-to-date and likes the appendices, especially the abbreviations and also the Nice classes, RAL colours and periodic table. Beck Verlag also has details. It also links to a further review by Andreas Wisuschil on a German legal blog, Blog für gewerblichen Rechtsschutz. Extract And there is now an excerpt available at Kater Verlag.

How authoritative are the German Nice classes? My customers normally use unexpected and confusing terms. The Nice classification is restricted to the class headings. A colleague points out that the full list is much longer. Still, this is a starting point. Although the German version is not authoritative, it is provided by WIPO, so here you can search by class heading or by alphabet. Patitia is a good place to search in German and find the English. But I never find quite what I am looking for on the various websites. Still, it is excellent that the dictionary has the class headings in both languages. I asked some other translators on a list what they thought such a dictionary might tell them. The big question of the usage of the terms intellectual property and industrial property came up. I think th…
