Twitter has successfully prevented a Singapore technology firm called VV Technology from registering a yellow hummingbird as a trademark for a mobile application. The application was filed in 2018 and was opposed by the American company, Twitter.
In 2019, the principal assistant registrar ruled in favour of twitter, which led to the appeal by VV Technology. VV Technology has now lost its appeal before the High Court. It will be interesting to see how things unfold and if VV Tech is going to appeal once again.
Does anyone think the marks are similar? Feel free to comment below.
