Commiserations are in order over at French utility company Suez. It wanted to register the phrase “delivering the essentials of life” as a European Union-wide trademark. EU watchdog the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs) said no. Undeterred, the company went to the European Court of Justice. And lost. Stick to the merger, eh Suez?
