Person’s Name Trademarks

Person’s Name Trademarks

The Tribunal of First Instance of the European Community has established that requesting a registration for a trademark consisting of name and surname is contrary to the regulations for Community trademarks whenever there already exists a trademark differing only for the name part. The surname represents in fact the core of a composite sign made up of name and surname and a different name is not sufficient to exclude the risk of confusion.
