The trade mark claim
The trade mark claim
The logical place to start with the Claimant’s claims of trade mark infringement is to consider the counterclaim for invalidity of the Wise Logo Mark and the TRANSFERWISE Mark, for if they are partially invalid, as the Defendants claim, plainly it is only the surviving parts of the specification which can be compared to the Defendants’ goods/services.
