BMW claims letter M for its M-Series

BMW has registered the letter M as a trademark. The German Trademark Office decided that the letter sufficiently distinctive for sports cars. Important in the consideration of the trademark authorities is the fact that the letter M has no special meaning in relation to sports cars. Also there is not a special reason for keeping the letter M free for competitors. BMW now has a monopoly on the use of the letter M for its BMW M-series in the market.

About Abcor

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.
