EU Anschreiben wegen Abschluss einer Abgrenzungsvereinbarung und Androhung Widerspruch (englisch)

Dear Sirs,

On behalf of my clients, ?? we kindly draw your attention to the following.

?? are the owners of amongst others European Union registrations:

??

Extensive and long term use for a range of goods of the ?? brand has

resulted in substantial goodwill and reputation in this trademark. Especially in ??

the trademark ?? is well-known. In other Southern Europe countries like

Spain, Portugal and Italy the trademark has also been used long term and extensive.

Recently our clients became aware of a new European Union application, ??,

that has been filed through your intermediary, in classes ??

for in the name of ??.

Because of the fact that your clients’ application includes the word ?? which is conceptually identical to my clients’ ?? trademark, and is the literal English translation of the same, my clients fear likelihood of confusion. Our clients therefore decided to file oppositions before the deadline of ??.

However, our clients do wish to try to solve this matter [ENDE DER VORSCHAU]
