Sometimes I See Absolute Prohibitions

M: Figurative mark, Vienna classification, all good; products and services, all good; no absolute prohibition; no opposition. That's another trademark granted!

M: Yes, come in!

P: Look what just came in.

M: No way, we have a descriptive mark.

P: Sound the alarm! We have a descriptive mark!

M: Appellations of origin, yes, but not this.

P: Do you think there will be more?

P: No way.

M: Flags?!

P and M: Nooooooooooooooo!

P: Marina? Everything okay?

M: Yes, yes, just a moment.

P: What's wrong?

M: Nothing, it’s just that sometimes... I see absolute prohibitions.

P: Can I ask you about a trademark that...

P: Okay, let's go eat, and then we'll carry on.

M: Sure, that's enough for today.
