May I ask on which jurisdiction your claim is based? Because I know for a fact that it does not have anything to do with German or Austrian law and am quite sure that there is no other European country where the law works anything like you described and the same goes for the USA. Could it be that you're mixing copyright and trademarks? Because trademarks are the only kind of "intellectual property" rights which you have actually have to enforce in order to not lose them. There's no such need for copyright or creator's rights. For the latter, one cannot even lose them if one wants. They are non-transferable and non- relinquishable.
