Finnegan client Sony won its opposition to an application to register the mark SONISTREAM for a streaming platform. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's (USPTO's) Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) ruled that the "SoniStream mark is likely to dilute Opposer's famous SONY mark by blurring." Further, the board noted that SoniStream is likely "to trigger consumers" of SoniStream to think of the Sony brand.
