ITT Corporation Successfully Enforces Trademark Rights
August 17 2009 - 2:02PM
Business Wire
ITT Corporation (NYSE: ITT) announced that it has received a
favorable decision from the Israel Trademark Office in which
oppositions to numerous ITT trademark registrations filed by
Israeli company Ratfon Imports Ltd. have been summarily dismissed.
This decision follows the March 2009 confirmation by the same
office of eight oppositions filed by ITT, rejecting Ratfon’s
applications for trademark registrations for “ITT”, and awarding
legal fees to ITT. Collectively, these decisions constitute a
complete legal victory in Israel for ITT in its disputes with
Ratfon, which had attempted to secure ownership of Israeli
trademark registrations for “ITT” as applied to certain consumer
products and to cancel ITT’s existing trademark registrations in
Israel. The decisions held the ITT mark to be "famous" and
"well-known" in Israel and confirmed the strength of ITT’s global
trademark portfolio and the worldwide recognition of the ITT name
in connection with a wide variety of products and services.
"ITT is pleased with these decisions, and our actions
demonstrate that we are fully committed to taking any actions
necessary to protect the ITT name and brand, anywhere in the
world." said Frank Jimenez, Vice President and General Counsel.
