Genuinely disgraceful...

... or pathetically hilarious but in an artisan manner ;.)

And this from the business "Bon Trading" of Irene Notaras that stopped importing coffee makers from the Robbiati family since - at the latest - 1989!

30 years ago!

Irene Notaras who is not able to provide proof of selling coffee from the early 70s onwards!

50 years ago!

If you don't smile reading the following, then i don't know.

"The section 58 ownership ground of opposition failed. Robertson J found that the supply of a small, free sample of ground coffee with instructions booklets for the ATOMIC coffee machines was solely to illustrate the grind of coffee required for those machines and not for the purpose of trade in coffee. However, the sale of coffee in half pound cans by Bon Trading was trade mark use of ATOMIC. However, this was historical use and Ms Notaras did not have any intention to supply ground coffee to consumers between the early 1970s and April 2015."

For those lost at this point, it is about a café "Atomic Espresso" in South Perth (Australia) involved in coffee trade.
