Questions referred
When goods bearing a protected motif are unlawfully offered for sale in a shop, can there also be an infringement of the author's exclusive right of distribution under Article 4(1) of Directive 2001/29 1 as regards goods with identical motifs, which are held in storage by the person offering the goods for sale?
