Response to the suspension of a figurative mark with denominative elements
What is a written response to the suspense of a figurative mark with denominative elements?
A written response to the failure of a brand is a response that a owner, whether a natural or legal person, sends the competent authority (in Spain, the OEPM) to argue the reasons why you consider your brand should be accepted despite the opposition filed by a third party.
A figurative mark with denominative elements is a mark that combines a symbol, drawing or graphic form with a name, letter or set of letters. This brand is represented through a logo, which is a visual image with phonetic pronunciation.
For example Adidas or BMW
