Next Auction After Kika/Leiner Bankruptcy is Imminent

32 registered trademarks are on offer, from the brands "Kika" and "Leiner" to product lines like "Die Grüne Linie", "vonderstedt" or "DeCore". Bids can already be placed, with the auctions concluding on October 24th. The auction is being conducted by the auction house Aurena.

Trademark Rights and Web Domains to be Auctioned

Kika/Leiner closed the remaining 17 locations in Austria at the end of January, affecting 1,350 employees due to the bankruptcy. Now, the "word-image trademarks" registered in many European countries and the associated internet domains are also being auctioned, according to Aurena's announcement on Thursday.

Around Kika, more than 80 registered word-image trademarks and 8 domains - such as kika.at or kika.com - are up for sale, while Leiner has 29 registered word-image trademarks and 6 domains. These packages are not cheap: each of the two brand bundles has a starting price of 50,000 euros. In contrast, brand packages like "kikalina" or "Cash & Carry" are more affordable, with starting prices of only 500 euros.
