USM Haller sofas, unique designs that are recognized as symbols of prestige in the world of interior design, are now at the center of legal attention. This Swiss brand recently achieved a minor victory in the Federal Court of Germany (BGH) against one of its competitors, raising important questions about the legal status of these works of art.

Material or Artistic Rights?

While USM Haller sofas are known in the market for their creative and functional designs, the debate now centers on whether these products can be legally protected or not. This issue is particularly important for other manufacturers and designers, as it may affect how similar products are designed and produced.

Despite this victory, many questions remain about what qualifies as a work of art and how to protect them. Can USM Haller sofas truly be considered a work of art, or are they merely functional pieces for homes? This discussion will certainly continue soon.
