BongoBing Tries To Stop Bing Trademark

BongoBing, a web-based shopping platform developed by The Laptop Company, Inc. has filed a request for an extension of time to oppose Microsoft in its efforts to register a trademark for the name “Bing” with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board has effectively granted the extension request until October 28, 2009.

Raul Pellerano, Co-Founder and CEO of BongoBing had this to say:

“We have worked hard and invested significant resources in building our BongoBingTM brand and identity, our website and services, and our corporate identity. We believe it is important for a small company like The Laptop Company to continue to use its trademarks and conduct business without confusion in the marketplace.”
