Spotify Blocked Potify’s Business Name – Why Cannabis Brands Need to Due Their Due Diligence

The first 2022 session held by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) acknowledged that the SPOTIFY trademark is famous and distinct. The Board sided with the music-streaming company in this trademark dispute case.

They also added that the SPOTIFY mark became well-known years before POTIFY was established.
