In the process of registering the change of ownership there was a mishap in the registration process that caused uncertainty regarding the ownership of these trademarks.

As there is no previous jurisprudence on this matter, it gave us the opportunity to resolve this unique situation.

Recently we concluded a coexistence agreement and successfully resolved the opposition to our client’s trademarks.
