UKIPO Rules on Amazon Blink Trademark Opposition

2019/10/12

The UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO) has delivered a mixed verdict for Amazon in a trademark dispute over the name of its home security system Blink.
 
The decision, published on October 7, comes after the owner of online chat website and mobile app Blink Chat opposed Amazon’s application to register both ‘Blink’ and ‘Amazon Blink’ as trademarks.
 
The owner of the chat service said both applied-for marks would confuse consumers and infringe the name of ‘Blink Chat’, which is registered in classes 9 and 38 for goods and services including messaging software and telecommunication services.
