Works of applied art are included in the Swiss Copyright Act in Art. 2(2)(f) as a separate category of protected works, distinguished from other categories of works because they serve a utilitarian purpose and combine practical applicability with an additional aesthetic appeal. In light of the most recent CJEU decisions regarding copyright protection of works of applied art and industrial design, specifically its decisions in Brompton (GRUR International 2020, 969) and Cofemel (GRUR International 2020, 322) the Swiss Federal Supreme Court had the opportunity – not being directly bound by Union law – to position itself with regard to EU judicial practice and at the same time update its own sparse and partly outdated case law. However, it clearly failed to do so, not only from a legal-theoretical perspective but also from a case-specific perspective, and this raises some additional questions that deserve to be addressed. 000049103 542__ $$fhttps://academic.oup.com/grurint/article/72/3/231/6998505 000049103 588__ $$aCrossref 000049103 590__ $$aPublished online: 11-Oct-23 000049103 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000049103 650_0 $$aCopyright law$$zSwitzerland. 000049103 650_0 $$aJudicial process$$zEuropean Union. 000049103 650_0 $$aCopyright. 000049103 650_0 $$aPatents. 000049103 7001_ $$aRauch, Gregor,$$eauthor. 000049103 7731_ $$tGRUR International$$wGRUR 000049103 830_0 $$aGRUR International,$$x2632-8550 ;$$v72, 11, 2023. 000049103 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1093/grurint/ikad101$$yonline version 000049103 904__ $$aJournal article 000049103 980__ $$aGRUR
