🇱🇻 Case to watch: AirBaltic v Baltic Taxi over use of the word “Baltic”

AirBaltic filed a lawsuit, stating that it owns a family of trademarks, the common element of which is the word “Baltic”—more than 20 trademarks are created according to the same principle. The word is placed on a light green background, using a uniform layout style “Baltic” in dark blue letters, in combination with some descriptive word, for example “Bike”, “Bag”, “Miles” (made in silver letters). AirBaltic believes that Baltic Taxi currently owns trademarks, including “Baltic Taxi”, registered with dishonest intent and therefore claims the contested trademarks be declared invalid and compensation for pecuniary damage to be awarded.
