West Bank - Opposition Against ZAHI

United Brothers Co., a Palestinian company, filed on 29 June 2009 a trademark application for "ZAHI (in Latin and Arabic letters)" in class 30 under no. 16371. The application was published on 26 April 2010.

Acting on behalf of our client, ZOUHAIR KATRANJI & SONS CO. (ZAHI FOR INDUSTRY & TRADE), a Syrian company, and the real owner of the trademark "ZAHI", we filed an opposition against the above application based on the following:

• Earlier registrations by our client for ZAHI in class 30 in their home country and abroad since the 1990s.
• Prior use of the said mark in their home country and abroad by our client.
• The trademark ZAHI has become a famous and well-known trademark due to the above reasons.
