Irulegi's hand cannot be registered as a trademark
- The Spanish Trademark and Patent Office has rejected the thirteen applications for trademark and/or industrial design registration, including that of the Aranzadi Society of Sciences, arguing that the discovery is not distinctive and will not be branded.
A year ago the discovery of Irulegi's hand was made known. The News journal has since published thirteen petitions in the Spanish Trademark and Patent Office to register related industrial brands or designs.
Specifically, one of them intended to record the industrial design for the production of ornaments, seven wanted to register the marks related to the sign Sorioneku and another five with the hand of Irulegi, both in Basque and Spanish.
All these requests have been rejected by the Trademark and Patent Office on the grounds that the discovery is not distinctive and will not be branded.
Among others, the Aranzadi Society of Sciences has tried to register the brand. And on October 10, through the Official Journal of Intellectual Property of Spain, reported that the request was dismissed.
The Society of Aranzadi Sciences wanted to avoid corrupt uses by Irulegi. The Government of Navarre was opposed to trademark registers related to the hand of Irulegi in order to ensure its free use.
