The idea behind this limitation in time is to strike the\r\nright balance between the reward and incentive for investors on the one hand,\r\nand the need for competition on the other. After the lapse of the patent, competitors\r\nshould be free to use the invention in any form. This application can\r\ntake the form of an exact copy of the most famous application of the patent by\r\nthe former patent owner himself. This should be permissible and is, in fact, the\r\nwhole idea behind the time limitation regarding validity of the patent.\r\n\r\nHowever, especially with products which have been patented and have become\r\nfamous or even iconic, exact copying can be perceived as parasitic and\/or confusing\r\nto the public. Rights owners often try to prolong their monopoly with\r\nsuccessful products either through trademark law or through unfair competition\r\nlaw. An attempt to prolong the protection of the three-headed shaver by\r\nPhilips is an example of the former. This contribution is largely dedicated to\r\nthe latter, namely protection against copying on the basis of unfair competitionof\r\nfamous products, for which the patent protection has lapsed.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\ufeff\r\n\r\nSlavish imitation, freedom of competition and the Lego brick.
