Digital Food S.A.C. [Counterparty: Rappi S.A.C.]

Trademark oppositions involving major food delivery apps. Our firm is assisting Digital Food against a trademark opposition filed by Rappi based on its trademarks RAPI TURBO and TURBO FRESH in classes 35, 39, and 42. Digital Food filed for the trademark registration of JOKR TURBO and logo in classes 35, 39, 42, and 45 to distinguish between other delivery services. Term commonly used within delivery segment: We are challenging Rappi’s opposition based on the fact that the term TURBO is commonly used to refer to speedy delivery in describing the services offered by both parties. Fast-growing tech company owned by key Peruvian group: Digital Food is a fast-growing Peruvian company belonging to the Intercorp Group, which provides delivery services. Demonstrating term’s non-exclusivity: This case is important and challenging since we must prove that the term TURBO is not exclusive. On the contrary, it is a term that denotes speed and provides a special service, for which we have presented a list of brands that use the term TURBO and are registered in various classes of the international classification, coexisting without any problem. Latest development: We filed the answer to the oppositions and the procedures are pending before the first administrative level.
