arrogation of a name Explanation: "At the same time, the registration bears also the threat of arrogation of the name (”Namensanmaßung”) which also justifies a (preventative) action for injunctive relief." https://books.google.com/books?id=GFekAgAAQBAJ&pg=RA4-PA6&lp... http://www.jura-basic.de/aufruf.php?file=1&art=6&find=t_1084... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs (2020-04-17 13:36:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Not only the use of the domain name, but the registration of a domain name with the competent authority already constitutes an arrogation of a name within the meaning of s 12 of the Civil Code (See above 10-065, BGH decision of Nov 22, 2001.." https://books.google.com/books?id=TAHtXWpA9soC&pg=SA10-PA33&... |

passing-off (AmE) misappropriation of name; palming off Explanation: No need for the 'name' element, except if 'misappropriation' is used. I have a hunch this is not Germany, but another German-speaking country. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2020-04-16 23:41:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The Namensleugnung (Namensbeugung) question has been removed as a double-up but could be different from passing-off or (AmE) misappropriation, namely as an 'interference with /name and/ reputation' (discrediting of reputation). Denial of (the landlord's) title is a whole different ball(-)game. a) § 12 BGB regelt die Rechte, insbesondere den Beseitigungsanspruch und den Unterlassungsanspruch, eines Namensträgers in den Fällen der Namensleugnung und der Namensanmaßung durch Dritte de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennzeichenrecht -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 heures (2020-04-17 08:02:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- OK to two sep. questions now re-instated. BTW, the ENG 'tort of passing-off' was the first thing that had occurred to me for this term, though Michael M's answer is a more accurate label. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 heures (2020-04-17 16:20:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hi Timothy. Without wishing to contradict my own US lawlink I, with a Patent / IP Attorney relative in New York, believe or guess that - for US Am. consumption - adding to misappropriation the following of (approx. 'the tort of passing-off') would do no harm and be widely understood by fully US-Am.-qualified Attorneys-at-Law and some of whom (not 'who', to ProZ hairsplitters and -splutters) grace, or have in the past graced, this DEU>ENG lingo combination. Example sentence(s):

pretension of name Explanation: "...als Internetdomain eine unberechtigte Namensanmaßung nach § 12 BGB darstellt..." "...as an Internet domain constitutes an unauthorized pretension of a name according to § 12 BGB (German Civil Code)..." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2020-04-17 17:17:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Only a cached version still remains, since it seems the original domain no longer exists.
