Four easyGroup UK trademarks cancelled for non-use in win for Nuclei Group

( March 11, 2025, 13:55 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: In a newly-released decision originally issued March 4, a challenger to four EasyGroup Ltd. trademarks prevailed in full, with the UK Intellectual Property Office directing the cancellation of ‘EASYOFFICE’ for use in connection with a wide variety of services ranging from the provision of broadband and telephone line services to catering. The UKIPO’s action reinforces 2022 and 2023 rulings by the UK High Court and UK Court of Appeal, respectively, that the registrations are invalid for non-use. The UKIPO reached the merits of Nuclei Group’s arguments under Section 46(1)(a) and/or (b) of the Trademarks Act 1994 even after easyGroup — which has come under fire for its overinclusive trademark registration practices — agreed to surrender all four contested trademarks in full. EasyGroup was ordered by the office to pay Nuclei Group’s expenses in bringing the revocation action, which the UKIPO pegged at $3,620.See attached document....
