The IP Factor

In an interesting ruling of 14 March 2006, regarding the trademark Warman (Israel Trademark No. 123731) IP Arbitrator Noach Shalev Shmulovich at the Israel Patent Office has ruled that filing simple denials in a statement of defence “to put it gently and carefully, does not meet the standards of legal practice, and constitutes a mockery of the judicial procedure and the Institution of the Comissioner of Trademarks”. The defendant, Research and Development Pty. LTD, represented by Seligsohn Gabrieli Levit, was ordered to pay 2500 NIS costs to the Plaintiff, Weir Warman, LTD.
