We recently helped a client with a trademark application, consisting of 3 words.
An aggressive US company which has a few trademarks related to one of those works has lodged an objection, claiming that our clients trade mark is deceptively similar, is likely to deceive or cause confusion, and that our client was deliberately seeking to trade off the US company’s reputation.
We disagree and have written to the enemy’s solicitors demanding that the opposition be withdrawn.
I doubt that they will withdraw, so we may have an interesting battle on our hands.
