Famous mark "Sick? Injured?" to be registered

18/10/2017

G&A represented Livnat Poran in the opposition filed by the Israeli bar against the registration of the "Sick? Injured?" mark. The opposition was denied and it was held that the mark is eligible for registration. The bar did not contest the fact that the mark was well-known. Instead, it argued that it should not be registered as Livnat Poran is providing legal advice although not being a registered lawyer. It was ruled that the Israeli bar will pay 10,000 USD in attorney fees and expenses to Livnat Poran.
