As beeing the CEO of G...Whom ever it may concern !<br /><br />As beeing the CEO of Gondwana and a direct involved party I can inform you, that this case is not over yet!<br /><br />The this court has not encoutert any of the reasons Naazneen has presented at all!<br /><br />For example, we, Gondwana, did produce over 250,000 bottles of Smart Water and had a complet distribution ready to go, including advertisment compaign. While shipping the products into the stores German wide, we had to call em back due to contanimation just days later.<br />As the legal fight with our copacker started we couldnt distribute any more product into the market, as we think: coustomer health is more important than use of Trade Mark! <br />(With our nowerdays knowledge, we would rather let people suffer from contaminated products than risking the Trademark due to nonuse! Is this correct and in the interest of law?)<br /><br />Meanwhile "Coke" startet legal activities in various countries to stop us! With this in backround, Would You start another go with all the liabilities of evetual misuse of Trademark against Coke?<br /><br /><br />We are to small, to cover such risk against the WORLD GIANT - Challenger Coke! Even with our other brand Water Joe www.waterjoe.eu we had and still have more than 18 years of experience in developing and distributing nonalcoholic beverages in the European market. It sems again that the giant just have to snip with its finger and the judges know what to Do 😡<br /><br />So Naazneen and Gondwana will continue to fight and hope that we can finaly use OUR brand! Still its not deleted but Coke is using and distributing Smartwater in the UK - hat a chame 😡<br /><br />Hope we are not alone !<br /><br />Happy Easter <br />Stephan Reeckmann<br />www.gondwana.ag<br />Reeckmannhttp://www.gondwana.agnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-2268176437800855702015-03-18T14:29:25.271+00:002015-03-18T14:29:25.271+00:00The Israel Patent and Trademark Office also recent...The Israel Patent and Trademark Office also recently concluded that an ongoing opposition proceedings was no justification for not using a mark and that the mark could be canceled for lack of use. <br /><br />See http://blog.ipfactor.co.il/2015/03/11/ghi-can-a-mark-be-cancelled-for-non-use-if-the-non-use-was-the-result-of-opposition-proceedings/Michael Factorhttp://blog.ipfactor.co.ilnoreply@blogger.com
