Berok-Xerox, similarity of marks
By Edy Guadalupe Portal, Portal & Asociados
An individual filed an application to register the trademark BEROK for goods in International Class 16. The National Bureau of Registries, on appeal, confirmed the denial of registration of BEROK by the Intellectual Property Department because of the similarity of BEROK to XEROX, which was previously registered by Xerox Corporation to protect goods in the same class.
