Princeton University

Trademark registration for Ivy League university or potential coexistence agreement. Our firm is assisting Princeton University in filing the trademark for PRINCETON UNIVERSITY and its logo in class 41. However, considering the pre-existence of the trademark PRINCETON REVIEW, we are also assessing the possibility of filing a coexistence agreement in class 41 with the clauses required by the Peruvian Trademark Office for the coexistence of the aforementioned marks. Appeal against trademark authority’s resolution: The Peruvian Trademark Office rejected the trademark PRINCETON UNIVERSITY and logo due to the pre-existence of the trademark PRINCETON REVIEW. It did not take into consideration the coexistence agreement. For this reason, we appealed against this resolution so that the Peruvian authority could analyse the coexistence agreement. One of top universities worldwide: Princeton University is a private Ivy League research university in Princeton, New Jersey, and one of the most important Universities in the US. Founded in 1746, it is the fourth-oldest institution of higher education in the United States, and one of the nine colonial colleges chartered before the American Revolution. Renowned for its rigorous academic programmes and commitment to undergraduate teaching, Princeton consistently ranks among the top universities globally. Latest development: Our appeal against the Peruvian Trademark Office is pending a resolution at the second and last administrative level.
