Ahmad Hisham Hassan, a Kuwaiti trader, filed on 24 December 2005
a trademark application for "UNOSPRESSO" in class 42
under no. 74116. The application was published on 27 June 2010,
subject to opposition for a period of one month.
Acting on behalf of our client, Mr. Bilal Mohmmad Al Hamwi, a
Syrian manufacturer and trader, we submitted an opposition against
the above trademark based on the following:
- Our client is the real owner of the mark.
- The word mark UNOSPRESSO was invented by our client.
- Prior registration of our client's mark in Kuwait.
- UNOSPRESSO is registered by our client in many countries around
the world prior to the opposed mark.
- Allowing the registration of UNOSPRESSO by Ahmad Hisham Hassan
will confuse the consumers as to the origin of the services
provided under this trademark.
