Also this might to so easy: - Unfortunately we missed the opposition period (which is only 30 days in the US, while in 3 Month Europa), which stated in November. - The registration says: "First use 2014" and "Use in Commerce 2014". Thus we need to proof we used "guix" earlier, e.g. using archive.org [1] - We should also check for trademark registrations in other areas, e.g. Europe, India, China. - It might even be useful to invest ~300 =E2=82=AC for registering GUIX a= s a trademark in Europe.
