Cloanto: Registration of "Workbench" trademark in EU rejected
Following the long-time ownership of the "Workbench" trademark in the USA, two years ago Cloanto also tried to register it at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). This application was opposed by Hyperion Entertainment (amiga-news.de reported). As published yesterday, EUIPO sustained the opposition and decided to refuse Cloanto's application for protection of this word mark in respect of the European Union (PDF file).
Reason for the rejection is Hyperion's existing registration (PDF file) of this trademark at the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property (BOIP). By this, Hyperion preempted Cloanto by 17 days. (snx)
