Google failed to challenge Rospatent's refusal to register the brand of its system for seamless transition from mobile to Wi-Fi networks. Lawyers believe that the service approached the decision formally and doubt that it had a political subtext
Rospatent has rejected the objection of the American company Google to the refusal to register the trademark of the special Google Orion system, according to the service’s published decision.
With Google Orion, users can colombia cell phone number list seamlessly switch from a cellular signal to a Wi-Fi network, even during a voice call. Seamlessness is achieved because Orion allows public Wi-Fi providers in places where it is available to offer access to cellular operators. The mobile operator can then provide Internet access in places where the cellular signal is poor, such as large shopping malls or airports. According to Google, the system is secure and the operator chooses which network to connect the user to.
In mid-April, Rospatent refused to register Google's trademark Google Orion. According to the service, it is similar to already registered names, in particular, the telecom operator from the Siberian Federal District "Orion Telecom" and similar in name and image marks belonging to the manufacturer and supplier of equipment for security systems "Research and Implementation Enterprise "Bolid", the agency "Orion-Real Estate" and others.
In mid-August, Google, disagreeing with Rospatent's decision, filed an objection asking to cancel it and register the Google Orion trademark. The company argued its disagreement by the following:
the emphasis in the name of the trademark is on the word Google, which is at the beginning, therefore, attention is focused on it and allows the trademark to be associated with the company;
some companies have the word Orion in their name, but additional pictorial elements or word combinations allow them to be distinguished from each other;
several trademarks have already been registered in the name of Google, and the company's search engine is also "well known to the Russian consumer" as a provider of search service services, which ranks second among all search engines in Russia.
