Batman Wins EU Trademark Dispute With Italian Designer

  • Warner Bros Discovery's DC Comics, which registered the Batman logo with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) more than two decades ago, faced a challenge from Commerciale Italiana Srl in 2019.
  • The Italian company had asked EUIPO to annul the trademark for clothing and carnival items, saying that it lacked a distinctive character.
  • After EUIPO rejected its application, Commerciale Italiana Srl took its grievance to the Luxembourg-based General Court. Judges backed the EU trademark body.
