Conflict Between "ESORAL" And "EQUORAL"

Laboratoires Medis, a Tunisian Company has filed on 16 October 2009 a trademark application for "ESORAL" in class 5 under No. T091338 which was published in the Official Gazette on 29 July 2010.

Our Client, "IVAX Pharmaceutical s.r.o", a Czech company, and the owner of trademark "EQUORAL" filed an opposition against the above application.

Our opposition was based on the following:

• The opposed trademark application "ESORAL" is confusingly similar with our client's trademark "EQUORAL" in terms of pronunciation and the general appearance.
• Our client is the legitimate owner of the trademark "EQUORAL" in home country and abroad.
• Our client has priority in using and registering their trademark in home country, Tunisia and other jurisdictions around the world.
