Kazaa trademark in trouble in Europe

14 June 2004 16:08 by Jari Ketola

Kazaa trademark in trouble in Europe Sharman License Holdings will not be able to file for an Europe-wide trademark for P2P utility Kazaa. According to German company Nemetschek CREM Solutions the word "Kazaa" is phonetically too close to the company's own "Casa" -trademark. The Casa trademark is used for a database software.

The Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market, OHIM agreed with Nemetschek, which means that Sharman has to file for a separate trademark in every European country, and it will most likely not be able to use the Kazaa brand name at all in Germany.
