how is that german officials (with, um, that messy rule-of-law problem in their history) could make a summary judgement about trademark law?!

did they cite any jurisprudence as the foundation for their authority?

probably not.

just an arbitrary interpretation by a bureaucrat.

national incidents like this reinforce the appeal of the EU — it provides a bulwark to protect personal property rights against the caprice of functionaries.

of course, we shouldnt be too surprise after all — it was germany.

Wow I’m struck by the tragedy :-( I was about to do the same thing, but now I’ll probably fly over and smuggle it in, that’s probably safer. Great job, german customs!
