Gideons International wins UK trademark battle

The U.S.-based Gideons International has won a trademark dispute against its former U.K. branch that must now change its name.

In late November, the U.K.'s Intellectual Property Office ruled in favor of Gideons International when it opposed the effort of GideonsUK to trademark their name.

The decision concluded that the U.K. branch's view that it held some claim to the Gideons name was a "mistaken belief" and done without properly informing Gideons International.
