LOACKER vs. JACKER – Saudi Arabia

A trademark application for "JACKER" was filed under No. 99714799

in class 30 was in the name of Oriental Food Industries, a Malaysian

company, and published for opposition purposes on 16 July 2004.

We work on behalf of the well known Italian Company "Loacker S.p.A- AG", and filed

an opposition before the Bureau of Grievance  based on confusing similarity with 

LOACKER. After several sessions and hearings, the committee issued its decision in our client's favor and cancelled the application. The opponent did not appeal the decision within the 30 days.
