Today (January 29th) marks World Automobile Day. It was exactly 138 years ago today that Karl Benz applied for Patent# 37435 for ‘a vehicle powered by a gas engine’. It brought the concept of the automobile to the world and transformed our expectations of personal mobility.
The transportation sector continues to remain under pressure to seek out new ways of reducing reliance on conventional fossil fuels and reducing CO2 emissions.
Sound marks are no longer the novelty they once were, and the relaxing of the legal requirements relating to their representation a few years ago makes filing an application for a sound mark easier than ever.
