Baby Gaga mother’s milk – famous European trademarks

Baby Gaga mother’s milk  - famous European trademarks

A restaurant in London has started selling ice cream made from breast milk, called Baby Gaga. Fifteen young mothers supplied their milk and received an unknown payment in return. There are no English laws that prohibit the use of (human) breast milk.
 

Of course, the milk is first fully checked for pathogens. Ms. Victoria Hiley delivered the first three liters, enough for the first fifty servings.
When served the ice cream is flooded with liquid nitrogen and a cracker is added. The dessert is then served by waitresses in a “Baby Gaga” costume. On the first day of the launch, the ice cream immediately sold out and the responses were very positive. The name is of course very reminiscent of the famous pop star LADY GAGA.
She has registered her name as a trademark for entertainment, CDs and printed materials, but also for clothing and jewelry, not for ice cream. Nevertheless, that is not an immediate problem in this case because LADY GAGA is in fact a reputable trademark. This means that the trademark may even be invoked against similar and identical marks that are used for completely different products, such as in this case ice cream.
LADY GAGA has not filed a complaint up until now, however. Perhaps the fact that she rather enjoys unusual and bizarre activities has prevented her from taking any steps.

 

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.
