The topic of Google Fonts warnings is currently on everyone’s lips. In our case, it is about the Google Fonts warnings from Kilian Lenard for Martin Ismail. However, others are also circulating, e.g. from Wang Yu by RAAG and Loris Bachert.<\/em><\/p>\n In addition to the classic lawyer bashing, you could even follow a \u2018disgusting\u2019 debate on Linkedin.<\/em><\/p>\n You can vent your anger in public, rant at lawyers or clench your fist in your pocket.<\/em><\/p>\n Or you fight back.<\/em><\/p>\n There is a way to oppose the current wave of warning letters. We did this for a client and last week obtained a temporary injunction against Martin Ismail from the Baden-Baden Regional Court. In other words, against the person in whose name the warnings regarding \u2018infringement of personal rights data protection Google Fonts\u2019 are being issued and sent out on a regular basis.<\/p>\n In any case, in the constellation in question, the Regional Court of Baden-Baden affirmed our claim for injunctive relief based on interference and the established and exercised commercial operation. Mr Ismail is therefore prohibited (from the date of service of the interim injunction) from contacting one of our client’s partner companies in connection with the integration of \u2018Google Fonts\u2019.<\/p>\n Violation of the ban may result in a fine of up to \u20ac 250,000 or even imprisonment (LG Baden-Baden, Beschluss v. 11.10.2022, Az. 3 O 277\/22<\/a>, available here as PDF<\/a>).<\/p>\n For the sake of good order, it should be noted that the order is currently still being served and the court has issued the order without hearing the other party. It is therefore currently neither final nor legally binding. The naming of the defendant is permissible here without further ado due to the public interest in his person.<\/p>\n We are currently receiving numerous enquiries about Google Fonts warnings and the injunction we obtained in this regard before the Baden-Baden Regional Court. The main concern of those affected is to find out how best to react.<\/p>\n We have therefore published information on this here:<\/p>\nUPDATE 24.10.2022<\/h2>\n
