Questão jurídica principal
Whether the slogan "EIN STÜCK SCHWEIZ" is excluded from trademark protection as common property for cheese.
Decisão extraída
The slogan is perceived as a laudatory quality reference to a typical, traditional Swiss product and therefore falls within common property under Art. 2 lit. a MSchG.
Fundamentação extraída
The sign immediately conveys an advertising message about Swissness and quality without special imagination; it is not made distinctive by an unusual linguistic construction and remains free for general use.
