The modern lines...

"The present application for utility model aims to provide a new system of coffee exprès, for domestic use, which differs essentially from all hitherto employed, both in its external form, which is of modern lines, and for its performance and utility, since the water tank can be heated to direct fire."

Looking for Mr. Robbiati's "ATOMIC" italian trademark registration...

...in vain.

Nothing.

Just found the trademark registered by an elderly lady in 1999.

10 years after the closure of the Robbiati business.

(read here)

10 years.

 I found it on this website here.

So let's see what is the mission of the Directorate general for the fight against Counterfeiting:

Fighting counterfeiting and protecting the "Made in italy" mark.

Known simply as THE ATOMIC...

 ... and this, NOBODY can argue with it!!!

Trademark holder: Umberto Schifalacqua

Trademark: L ' ATOMICA

Registration date: 6 Septembre 1946
