Simon Stanes, the head of EIP Brands, has posted as a guest blogger for The IPKat following the cancellation of two CTM registrations owned by the makers of Innocent smoothies.

Two variations of the Innocent ‘halo’ logo were cancelled by the successors in title to Deepend London Limited, the design firm that created them for Innocent’s brand owners Fresh Trading.

Simon collaborated with EIP’s regular IPKat blogger Darren Smyth on the post, which can be read here.
