\"Maradonna\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In July 2001, Maradona applied to the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) for registration as an EU trade mark of the word sign DIEGO MARADONA. The registration was sought for several personal hygiene and pharmacy products, as well as for clothing, footwear and headgear, including sports clothing and footwear. The application also included a wide and diverse range of services, from restaurant and hospitality services to IT and copyright management services. The trade mark was registered in January 2008.<\/p>\n

Maradona died in November 2020. In January 2021, taking the view that the trade mark had been transferred to it, Sattvica requested EUIPO to register that transfer on the basis of two documents issued by Maradona in its favour: an authorisation for the commercial use of trade marks dated 26 December 2015 and an undated agreement authorising use of the trade mark. EUIPO first entered the transfer in the Register.<\/p>\n

Maradona\u2019s heirs subsequently had the entry of the transfer of the trade mark invalidated. In a decision of March 2022, EUIPO found that Sattvica had not submitted documents duly establishing the transfer of the trade mark in its favour.<\/p>\n

Sattvica requested the General Court of the European Union to annul that EUIPO decision. The Court dismisses Sattvica\u2019s action. It confirms the EUIPO\u2019s assessment: the documents produced by that company do not formally justify an assignment of the trade mark in its favour under a contract signed between the two parties (Sattvica and Maradona).<\/p>\n

Furthermore, as Maradona had died before the request for registration of the transfer was submitted, Sattvica could not correct the irregularities found. Nor was it able to produce any other documents<\/p>\n
