Imagineer has secured a win in its trial on a trademark infringement to the Medabots international name. The company received a favorable ruling from the Spanish Commercial Courts of Alicante.
Imagineer Wins In Medabots Trademark Infringement Lawsuit
The lawsuit involved the use of the Medabots international name in Europe. Imagineer has now won a second trial on the matter.
The court said that using the “Medabots” name had infringed upon the intellectual property rights of Imagineer. The “Medabots” name was used by Kevin Comadrán de Frutos, infringing upon Medabots’ IP rights.
According to earlier reports, de Frutos, who is not associated with Imagineer, registered the “Medabots” name in February 2018. He registered the name to release a non-fungible token (NFT) gaming project.
In his earlier lawsuit, de Frutos intended to stop Imagineer from distributing and marketing games under the Medabots name in Europe. He won the first ruling on the matter on July 15, 2020.
The same court dismissed de Frutos’ claim on November 29, 2021. The court ordered the cancellation of the EU trademark around the Medabots name.
Legal Tussle Between De Frutos And Imagineer
The legal battle between de Frutos and Imagineer has been ongoing for years. On February 23 last year, Imagineer secured an appeal from de Frutos, protesting against the decision made by the court on the matter.
Despite the efforts made by de Frutos to push the appeal and for the courts to see Imagineer in violation of its Trademark rights, the appeal was later September 15, 2023.
The fact that Imagineer has won the second trial on the matter does not mean the matter is now final, as an appeal could also be filed. According to Imagineer, even if this case is appealed, the company would continue the legal battle and take action to combat de Frutos’ lawsuit.
Imagineer is also planning to file a lawsuit against de Frutos’ for using the Medabots name in bad faith. The company believes de Frutos used the Medabots in bad faith across Europe.
According to Asia IP LAW, Imagineer owns the Medabots trademark. As such, de Frutos was illegally using the company’s name.
Imagineer will release a press release after a final decision is made. The company claims that it would continue taking action against de Frutos even if an appeal is filed.
