Gucci Successfully Opposes Trademark for Folding Stove

2018/02/09

Italian fashion brand Gucci has successfully opposed a trademark legal for a folding stove appliance from Singapore-based Guccitech Industries. Guccitech first applied for the trademark 'Guccitech, innovation saves space', number T1414543D, in September 2014 in Singapore. The application was accepted in December 2014. Gucci filed a notice of opposition in 2015, claiming that the trademark was too similar to its own. Gucci proved itself to be a recognised brand in Singapore. As a result of this, there could be some confusion from Singapore residents over which brand the foldable stove belongs to. As a result of the findings, IPOS ruled in favour of Gucci, prohibiting the registration of the Guccitech trademark.
