A UK Company Appears to have Successfully Trademarked the Name ‘Bitcoin’
A London, UK based company, A.B.C. IPHoldings South West, appears to have successfully trademarked the name ‘Bitcoin’ in relation to clothing and manufactured products.
The trademark filing dates back to December 22 2017 with the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) in the United Kingdom. It was revealed after a representative of the company reached out to an Etsy entrepreneur selling t-shirts branded with ‘Bitcoin’. The letter stated “[Our Client] has not authorised your use of the Bitcoin trademark on and in relation to clothing. Such use, therefore, amounts to trademark infringement pursuant to s10(1) of the Trade Marks Act 1994.” Little is know about the company other than one other trademark registration for ‘Westworld’.
