SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 30, 2016) - VinCompass™ Corp. (
VinCompass initially had common law rights in four trademarks arising out of use since at least February 2012. These four trademarks are VinCompass, FoWL, VinPrint, and the VinCompass logo. Federally registered trademark imparts a presumption of distinctiveness. Additionally, it provides a nationwide notice of trademark rights, as well as access to a more uniform body of law, benefits the Company can now utilize.
These four trademarks have all been allowed by the PTO. The trademarks have also been published for opposition without incident. In addition, specimens of use have recently been submitted for all except "FoWL." Therefore, the federal registration of these marks is anticipated to be completed before the end of 2016.
VinCompass Patent Portfolio
Filed in July 2011, VinCompass has a pending patent application (USSN 14/232,383) relating to a method and system for recommending a wine based on dynamically varying constraints. The patent application with 22 claims is continuing as expected, with 2017 as the estimated patent grant date.
According to founder & CEO Peter Lachapelle. "VinCompass is pleased to have our IP recognized by the PTO. As part of our overall strategy, these IP investments in both technology and the registration process will allow us to uniquely solve the personal wine curation problem and accelerate VinCompass' monetization process."
