Applied-for mark  “CHAMEL, figure” is being opposed

CHANEL., headquartered at 135 avenue Charles de Gaulle F-92200 NEUILLY-SUR-SEINE (FR)., owner of International Registration of Mark (IRN) 1190042 – CHANEL  and IRN 201151-CHANEL  (the cited marks) currently in effect  in Vietnam for products in Class 25 and other classes has petitioned with the IP Vietnam to oppose national (VN) applied-for mark application No.4-2022-50960 “CHAMEL, figure” (the applied-for mark”) for textile products including clothing, hats of all kinds in Class 25 on the grounds of confusing similarity to the earlier cited marks, in particular (i) the products covered by these marks are identical and/or similar to each other, and (ii) the word “CHAMEL” as dominant element in the applied-for mark and the cited mark CHANEL are similar in respect of structure, pronouncing and visual impression.

The case is being handled by the IP Vietnam./.
