BRENT cannot be trademarked, rules Singapore's intellectual property (IP) watchdog, in a dispute between two major American operators of market exchanges over registered trademarks related to Brent, a global benchmark for oil prices.
Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) applied to invalidate Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) Holdings Inc's trademark registrations of the words "Brent" and "Brent Index", which ICE had registered in Singapore in 2015 for a range of financial services.
