Samsung ‘HDR10' EU Trademark Application Clears Opposition Period

Samsung’s application to register “HDR10" as a trademark with the EU Intellectual Property Office cleared a hurdle Monday when the application’s three-month opposition period expired with no dissents, EUIPO records show. Samsung’s application at EUIPO to register “HDR10 Plus” also cleared its opposition period Monday with no dissents, records show. Samsung abandoned its application March 31 at the Patent and Trademark Office for U.S. trademark protection for HDR10, but left its HDR10 Plus application intact (see 1705250028). “Sanity had prevailed,” John Adam, Samsung U.K. head-business development and industrial affairs, told the SES Ultra HD conference last week in London of withdrawing the HDR10 application at PTO.
