Short-Term Rental for Tourist Purposes in Vienna

An entrepreneur active in the real estate industry engaged ATTYS to clarify the legal framework for short-term rentals of business premises and other commercial properties via Airbnb in Vienna. Based on the client’s intended business model, we identified the legal restrictions on short-term rentals for tourism purposes. In particular, these included building regulations, commercial and residential property regulations, and the need for official permits or other approvals. As a result, the client received a statement that provided him with a comprehensive overview of the permissibility of the planned rentals and possible legal and economic risks. Thanks to our comprehensive advice, the client was able to implement his business strategy with regard to Airbnb rentals with legal certainty and successfully avoid economic risks by renting or purchasing unsuitable properties.

Cross-Border Reorganizations

A company based in Germany commissioned ATTYS to relocate its registered office from Germany to Austria. First of all, we worked with the client to determine which form of reorganization under the EU Reorganization Act (EU-Umgründungsgesetz) would best suit its plans. In addition, we used our network of lawyers to establish contact with a suitable partner law firm in Germany, which assisted the client with the relevant issues under German law. Our law firm prepared all the necessary corporate documents in accordance with Austrian law and coordinated the cross-border reorganization with the tax advisors and auditors involved. Thanks to our structured process and our broad network of partners, the relocation of the company was completed quickly, and the client was assisted with regard to the relevant issues under German law.

Copyright protection for furniture design

An architect approached ATTYS with the question of whether a piece of furniture he had designed could be protected by copyright. After examining the professional licenses for architects, we came to the conclusion that architects are allowed to design and sell furniture, but that they are not allowed to manufacture it themselves without an appropriate partnership with a carpenter. In the next step, we analyzed the appropriate protection options for the furniture: Furniture can enjoy copyright protection if it has the required level of design by distinguishing itself from other products of a similar kind through its individual character. In addition, a piece of furniture can also be protected as a design if it is new and unique.
