Dracula was registered as a trademark in 1995 in Romania for liquor. The proprietor of this trademark objects against a European application for Dracula Bite, filed by a competitor. Because Dracula is a trademark older than five years the owner must proof that the trademark is in use. Only six invoices were provided as proof, corresponding with a sale of just 2,500 bottles in the past five years. Much too little for an area as large as Romania, where a lot of vodka is consumed. The competitor is allowed to register Dracula Bite.
