Yоur client CAMBRIDGE COATS hаve cоme tо you with respect to their plаns to reconsider their trаde mark portfolio as a result of receiving external investment aimed at helping them develop their business overseas, particularly in the US and Asian (China, Japan, South Korean) markets as well as in the EU. They currently have a registration in the UK of the words CAMBRIDGE COATS for “pea coats; long coats; waxed jackets”. They filed this application themselves before obtaining professional assistance and have no other trade marks or other registered IP protection. On talking to them you understand that they are now selling a full range of jackets, coats and outerwear and also intend to branch out into other kinds of clothing, headwear and footwear in the future (either producing directly or engaging licensees). It seems likely that this will be under an amended mark – CAMBRIDGE – ie. as a result of them dropping the word COATS to reflect the fact that they have moved beyond merely coats. They now seek your advice on protection in the UK, EU, US, Japan, South Korea and China. Key points which come out of the discussions are as follows: 1. They would like to proceed with the UK application as soon as possible; 2. For reasons of funding they probably cannot afford to undertake the other applications for 4 or 5 months, but do not want the risk of being ruled out by other parties filing conflicting rights; 3. They want to try and obtain this protection as cost-effectively as possible, but without risking not being able to obtain full protection. 4. They are aware that Cambridge University may have some rights in the mark CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY in the UK, and that Havard University is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts: both are places which are commonly the source of awareness and tourism because of their universities. Please advise the client on the following: 1. What application and coverage you propose; 2. What systems and conventions may assist the client to obtain suitable protection cost-effectively; 3. What issues have been identified by the information you already have and how that might affect the process of obtaining protection; 4. Whether any of those issues are sufficiently of concern to alter any initial strategy suggestions; and 5. What time-line and actions you therefore recommend.
Yоur client TITAN SUPPLEMENTS – а leаding mаker оf spоrts supplements and protein powders and the owner of a UK trade mark registration in respect of the mark TITAN for “sports supplements”, “protein based, confectionery” and “non-alcoholic beverages”- has received a watch notice identifying an application to register the mark TITANIC in respect of “protein-based confectionery” in class 30 and “energy drinks” in class 32. The applicant is Value Stores Limited (“Value Stores”), a low-cost retailer who were a stockist of the client’s products for around 2 years up to last year, when they indicated that they were ceasing to stock the client’s products. Brief research by you has revealed that Value Stores have also applied to register the marks JUPITER and GIANT, all for the same specification. Value Stores is known for producing lookalike “dupes” which it sells alongside third party brands. Value Stores has been sued multiple times and often uses the press around these claims in their social media to gain further awareness of their business. The client’s TITAN brand features an image on the label of a god in the night sky, a constellation of stars and a large planet. On speaking to the client about the prior relationship, the client identifies that in light of his concerns about them producing a lookalike he had a term inserted into the supply agreement that said that Value Stores would not, during the term of the agreement or for 1 year afterwards, produce a product which uses a similar name or which otherwise confuses consumers or misleads them as to any goods of Value Stores as having come from Titan Supplements. The one year period is set to expire in 4 months’ time. The applications for TITANIC, JUPITER and GIANT were all filed on the same day and they were all published for opposition purposes 2 weeks ago. Titan seeks your advice about the following : Whether there are grounds to oppose the applications –what those grounds would be and comments on the merits The process if opposition is filed; What information, if any, would be required from the client to assist with the filing of any opposition; Whether there may be scope to seek court proceedings and what bases might exist if court proceedings were commenced? You are not expected to give detailed comment on the process of court proceedings and no points are available for discussing court proceedings in detail. You are also to assume that the clause the client inserted into the supply agreement with Value Stores is valid and that there are no issues with enforceability of that contract or its terms.
