Gameware argues that the game has been on the market since the 1990s and that the trademark has built up its own reputation. Does this stand a chance of success?
In my view, no. In this case, it is clearly a matter of riding on the coattails of another brand’s fame. I therefore expect the trademark to be rejected (and an argument based on parody will not hold up either—see the IKEA ruling).

Abcor specializes in applying for trademark and design rights. We do this worldwide for both SMEs and international companies, but often everything starts with an initial Benelux application. Our aim is to relieve the client of all the worries, which is why we take care of all the steps, from initial advice on what to apply for and how, right through to registration.
In addition to applying for trademarks, we also manage portfolios for our clients. We ensure that trademarks are renewed on time, that the right organizations are paid (given the many fraudulent companies), and we support our clients on issues.
In addition, we are sparring partners for our customers on new products and how to shape and claim new ideas.
