Firm News : Trademark opposition

17.02.2022

We have successfully assisted our Client, a major European chain of DIY and home improvement stores, with a trademark opposition, in relation to a mark that dissimulated the domain name.

Our Trademark department prepared, analyzed, and drafted the opposition arguments, in order to formally request the National Intellectual Property Office, the dismissal of the trademark application of the applicant. In the decision issued, the Office has officially stated the brand family and the mark`s reputation, the latter being notable as it was the first decision of the Office that has stipulated this matter.
