Sattvica, the company owned by Maradona’s former lawyer, has been unable to block the registration of two Maradona-related trademarks.
Spanish company CM Capital Markets had its trademark in Europe correctly registered: a trademark registration of the wordmark CM Capital Markets and a separate registration of the logo. And yet, it went wrong. How is that possible? These brands look alike, don’t they?
The Spanish clothing brand Scalpers, which also owns stores in the Netherlands, has not succeeded in stopping the European registration of a logo of a skull – also for clothing. Even though Scalpers itself also uses a very similar skull as a logo. The cause of the refusal is clear: Scalpers is missing an important trademark registration.
