All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.

Italian cheese is indeed a tricky business. In a glimpse: Solo Italia Srl applied for a CTM PARMITALIA to cover "cheese" in class 29. Nuova Sala Srl filed an opposition against the application based on a prior CTM registration PARMITAL covering also "cheese" in same class.
ReplyDeleteThe CTM application was refused and Solo Italia Srl filed an appeal, which was refused due to the fact that the appeal was made extra-temporis.
Thereafter an appeal was filed before the CFI, who once agains dismissed the appeal and confirmed OAMI's refusal.
Not much of an opportunity when the marks are almost identical and cover the same goods.
