Mandelay LLC, the Hungarian supplier of the biofeedback and bioresonance medical devices SCIO and EDUCTOR, and the rightful owner of the European Medical Device registration certificate, is proud to report the termination of two major trademark invalidation proceedings initiated against SC. SCIO International s.r.l.,  a Romanian company which unlawfully protected within the EU (European Union)the designation EDUCTOR SCIO # 011122256, and based also an international trademark registration in several countries outside the EU on this trademark. The second EU trademark concerned is the SCIO CLASP 32 # 010970606 EU trademark, which was the name of the operational program (Software) of these devices.

The Appeal Board of the EUIPO (European Intellectual Property Office) sustained in both cases the decisions of the cancellation division, in which these trademarks declared invalid from their respective filing dates in view of the bad faith nature of these trademark applications, as Mandelay, the petitioner, was the rightful and previous user of both the SCIO and the EDUCTOR  brands for such devices before the Romanian company entered the market with the illegal copies of the same name.

The invalidation automatically cancels the international trademarks based on the European trademark EDUCTOR SCIO.

In view of these recent decision, it has become clear and true that any previous and current use concerning such devices by the Romanian company was illegal and qualify as infringement of Mandelay’s trademarks for SCIO and EDUCTOR, respectively.
