The 35th Federal Court issued a decision on the case between the Brazilian company LG Informática Ltd and a global manufacturer LG.
According to court LG Informática Ltd use the name commercially earlier than registered marks owned by LG Electronics Group in Brazil. Therefore, the court considers that these marks should be cancelled in their part of computers and computer equipment in class 9. Moreover, 5 new LG's applications for trade mark should be rejected by the Patent Office in the country in respect of those goods. For other classes, the court allowed the registration of marks.
Most likely, this decision will be appealed because it is seriously affecting the interests of LG Electronics Group for goods such as computers and computer equipment, where the company is very strong.
