Medramin vs Bendramin
By Edy Guadalupe Portal, Portal & Asociados
The Swiss company Mepha AG filed an application to register trademark MEDRAMIN to protect pharmaceuticals in International Class 05. The National Bureau of Registries, on appeal, confirmed the denial of registration by the Intellectual Property Department due to the similarity of MEDRAMIN to BENDRAMIN which was registered by the local company Laboratorio Carosa S. A. de C.V. to protect pharmaceuticals in the same class.
