Cyprus re-registers halloumi trademark in UK
February 3, 2020
Cyprus has won back the halloumi trademark in the UK, more than 18 months after it lost it because of a blunder by Commerce Ministry officials.
Commerce Minister Yiorgos Lakkotrypis confirmed the good news — first reported by Sigma TV last night — telling CyBC that Cyprus had reapplied to register the trade mark which it lost in May 2018. On January 31, it was notified that halloumi had been registered by the British Intellectual Property Office, the minister said.
