Our Client, UGUR SOGUTMA MAKINALARI TEKSTIL SERIGRAFI BASKI MADEN VE MERMER SANAYI VE TICARET ANONIM SIRKETI, a Turkish company, has filed on 17 December 2001 an International Registration for "ugur & device" No. 779950 in class 11 designating Egypt; the said registration was published in the official Gazette No. 19/2011 dated 2 June 2011.
Our Client's above trademark was provisionally partially refused due to the citation of trademark UGUR filed under No. 215135 in Class 11 in the name of Mohammad Imad Eddin Waheeb Al Byriqdar.
Accordingly, we filed an appeal against the provisional refusal decision based on the following:
- Our client is the legitimate owner of the trademark "ugur" in home country and abroad.
- Our client has prior use and registration of his trademark in home country and other countries around the world.
- The refusal decision is based on an invalid trademark which has been previously opposed and cancelled by our client.
The Registrar, after reviewing the above merits and the supporting the documentary evidences thereof, has issued his favorable decision accepting our appeal and proceeding with the registration of International Trademark "ugur & device" No. 779950 in Class 11 in the name of our Client.
