"Cho those in my name?" Or how to burn, doing everything right

In Facebook, a friend had a magical discussion. He cited some of his regional friends that a military piece of paper came from the owner of the husband for an hour trademark. Like, either remove the nafig from the site and advertise this expression, or come to an agreement, we are not greedy, we won’t take much.

And, if you try to google, then such customers have a sly creep in time - right on the sea. And according to the courts, he has excellent chances to fool a heap of people. And “husband for an hour” is a straightforwardly mute cliché, it will be difficult to refuse him.

This means that it is generally useful to register trademarks (I will continue to write TM), including all sorts of sudden things. For example - TM named after yourself.

Well, that is, TM with its first name and surname. It helps a lot in the courts, if someone gathers, for example, to cash in on your unearthly glory. A living example, Pavel Volya, takes away from pavlevolya.ru



If seriously, the trademark is used to individualize certain goods and services so that consumers can distinguish goods from different manufacturers. A trademark gives its owner legal protection. It may prohibit all third parties from using the registered mark, in this case the name, for the sale of goods and the provision of services. And it all makes sense if you are well known, at least a couple of tens of thousands of people ...

A couple of nuances:

Why, in principle, patent the name, you say. Is she already there and you can sue anyway?

It makes sense to get a trademark in the last name if consumers have a stable association between the person and the goods or services that he personifies. Thus, the surname gained distinctiveness and can be used as a trademark. By registering a trademark on itself, a well-known person can prevent legal abuse of unscrupulous competitors and parasitism on its popularity.

Otherwise, if consumers have no such associations, then Rospatent will more likely refuse to register the mark.

How to be namesakes? Can a patent be challenged in court by the same name?

Here, too, everything is ambiguous. The more namesakes, the less likely a trademark will be registered. The names of Ivanov, Petrov or Sidorov do not have distinctive ability and owners of common surnames do not need to worry. But there is for example the trademark IvanovPetrovSidorov (alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages). In this case, Rospatent considered that such a sign has a distinctive ability. In any case, stakeholders have the opportunity to challenge the registration of a trademark, if it proves a violation of the law and its rights.

By the way, you can quite get the Trademark yourself.

Here is the finished procedure, take and use.

And why do you need a lawyer ...

And then there will be about the beautiful. Because the whole thing has a downside. The fact is that such a TM is fawn.

Who are the most famous celebrities who work for their celebrity? That's right, pop. And almost everyone has TM loved ones. And TM is given to them by whom? On itself in the form of PI. Because it is impossible on physical person. Well, if they certainly do not lay their name to their producer. What are they as people who never completely die out of their minds never do.

Well, then the fun, because of IP instantly issued the current place of registration.



Come good people to visit, if that.



And they say slavery was banned ... Naive bunnies.



In general, it is worthwhile for you to register something and here it is your address. In the rosreestre it is hidden, and here in the database as in the palm of your hand.

You know the joke about "Where does Edita Pieha live?"

Here it is not clear where he lives.



Interestingly, at least some compensation paid?



By the way, yes, Pavel Volya, we started with him



But the same Tinkov does not burn



Actually. Benefit in this text has only two simple things - the method of searching for real addresses of celebrities and a link in the middle to the method of self-receiving TM. Have a great week, cho.
