West Bank - Infringement Against Trademark "Durra & Device"

United Brothers Co., a Palestinian company, filed two trademarks applications, the first was for "Durra & device" in class 30, application no. 15895, published on 9 December 2009, and the second for "Durra in Arabic & device" in class 30, application no. 15899, published on 9 December 2009.

Acting on behalf of our client, Al Durra Food Products Co., a Syrian company and the original owner of "Durra & device", we filed an opposition against the above applications based on the following:

• Our client has prior registrations for "Durra" in class 30 in their home country and abroad since 11 December 2001.
• The opposed applications are identical to our client's trademark, and will confuse the consumers as to the origins of the products.
