Sweden’s largest law department, located at the University of Stockholm, one of the country’s oldest and best established institutions of higher education decided to put the individual Gömböc 1878 on permanent exhibit, carrying the university’s year of foundation as serial number.
The attention of the excellent law school was drawn to the Gömböc after the Court of Justice of the European Union issued a prelminary ruling related to the Gömböc trademark. The ruling, which is considered by several leading experts as a landmark, was broadly discussed in the European IP law community and beyond.
Gömböc 1878, which is now on display in the department’s faculty common room, was presented by Her Excellency Adrien Müller, Ambassador of Hungary in Stockholm to Professor Gustaf Sjöberg, chairman of the Law Department. Our top picture shows (from left to right) Ambassador Müller, Professor Sjöberg and Dr. Veronika Kaszás, cultural attaché of the Hungarian embassy. The Department announced the arrival of Gömböc 1878 on its own website.
The production of Gömböc 1878 was supported by Mr Ottó Albrecht.
