A brief update on Paul
A very brief update on Paul, the psychic octopus of World Cup fame (see our reports here, here and here) that - somewhat bizarrely - still finds itself in the international news.
While Class 46 found yet another trade mark application related to the German based Octopus that correctly predicted the outcome of several World Cup games (see below), Paul has also made an enemy: The Telegraph today reports that Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has stated Paul symbolizes the "decadence and decay" of the Western world. According to the report Mr. Ahmadinejad mentioned Paul several times during a speech in Tehran last weekend.
Class 46 can't help but wondering whether this news item might not prompt more PAUL trade mark applications?
