Google rescues important victory in trademark dispute
Rescuecom Corp. v. Google Inc.,[No. 5:04- CV-1055(NDNY Sept. 28, 2006)]
The fear for companies that had to wait 5 or 6 years to have its trademarks granted by the Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office - BPTO is close to the end. The BPTO President, Mr. Roberto Jaguaribe, guaranteed that in 2007, the trademark examiners will judge the trademark applications requested in 2006.
So in Brazil, the trademark applications will take around one year to be decided, the same elapse time of some developed countries. But we do not quarentee immediate benefits because based on our experience and based on the BPTO backlog we believe that this will only start to happen in 2008.
