Just who owns IPKAT I wonder ? Are you a partnership at will ? (cf Saxon and other aging rock groups). Have you decided (in writing)where the rights reside ? Do Merpel and Tufty have legal personality ? These questions, and no doubt many others, will all fall gracefully into OHIM's lap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-9482243018116058462009-04-23T08:31:00.000+01:002009-04-23T08:31:00.000+01:00The Benelux Intellectual Property Office didn't ap...The Benelux Intellectual Property Office didn't apparently didn't mind.

In the exercise of its legal powers it is currently counting up the number of times it has been offended and abused by said blog. Sorry, that should read "It is examining the application against the usual criteria for distinctivenes, and non-descriptiveness".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
