Summary: A closer look at the "FJORDBLINK" trademark and what happened to the entity which registered it in Denmark (where the Chairman of the Administrative Council of the European Patent Organisation is still in charge)
IN OUR fourth part of the series we wrote about a company connected to the Chairman of the Administrative Council of the European Patent Organisation (EPO), but there's a side story that merits a mention at least in the addenda.
We managed to find a copy of a product brochure for the birth pool marketed by FJORDBLINK MEDICAL ApS [PDF]. The product brochure is dated May 2015.
"According to official CVR records this company ceased trading on 10 October 2013. It is unclear what has exactly has happened to the "FJORDBLINK" trademark registered by FJORDBLINK MEDICAL P/S or who, if anybody, is the current assignee."There is a small mystery here that we have been unable to solve so far. The brochure refers to the name "FJORDBLINK" as a registered trademark. According to our research, the trademark is indeed registered both in Denmark and also as a European trademark [PDF] with the EUIPO in Alicante [PDF]. In Denmark it is registered under the number VR 2011 02145.
As a European trademark it is registered under the EU Trademark number 011266764. However, as we noted in a previous article the trademark was not registered by FJORDBLINK MEDICAL ApS (CVR number 25942507) but by another entity with a confusingly similar name: FJORDBLINK MEDICAL P/S (CVR number 33392737).
The CVR number 33392737 leads to a defunct limited partnership company by the name of FOME P/S with an address at Vibelandsvej 8, Valby, 3200 Helsinge. Between 31 December 2010 and 11 April 2013 the company operated under the name FJORDBLINK MEDICAL P/S and its registered address was in Randers where Helle Jahn Jørgensen resides.
According to official CVR records this company ceased trading on 10 October 2013. It is unclear what has exactly has happened to the "FJORDBLINK" trademark registered by FJORDBLINK MEDICAL P/S or who, if anybody, is the current assignee.
