The Bezos Family Foundation, a non-profit organisation run by the family of Amazon.com founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, has lost its appeal against a trademark invalidation at the EU General Court.
The tenth chamber of the court delivered the judgment yesterday, February 24, affirming an earlier decision by the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and its boards of appeal. In doing so, it upheld the opposition of SNCF Mobilités, France s national state-owned railway company.
The dispute arose in December 2017, after the foundation filed an application for the registration of the word sign ‘Vroom’ as an EU trademark with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).
