Apart from owning two trademarks KNR and KNR.COM, it filed a Benelux application which one of my clients is now forced to oppose. A trademark troll indeed, but its purpose remains mysterious.

I have always thought that a systematic programme of threatening revocation (plus a without-prejudice offer of settlement to avoid the very real administrative and legal costs of dealing with such actions) would have been an excellent way of making a lot of money for my retirement! It can't really go wrong: get just one or two items in the specification revoked and you get all your expenditure back, plus extra for your trouble. Any properly-advised party receiving my letter-before-action would realise the same and settle without waiting for me to start proceedings. So lots of money in return for at most the price of a postage stamp.<br /><br />Everyone who has a valuable registration, but with a long "class heading" specification, was going to be my target. But in particular, anyone with protection for "gutta-percha" in class 17. I still don't know what that stuff is, nor no doubt do 99.9% of owners with legal protection for it. But of course, there is no need to particularise precisely what I wanted off the register: the burden of proving use falls entirely on the proprietor.Moron in a Hurrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-58070243227215345852015-09-23T15:04:26.252+01:002015-09-23T15:04:26.252+01:00The question is whether an injunction can be obtai...The question is whether an injunction can be obtained to stop him doing this...
