His heirs Diego Maradona will henceforth be those who have the right to use for commercial purposes the name of the Argentine superstar who passed away three years ago. His decision General European Court located at Luxembourgvindicates the heirs, against the company Sattvica which managed the rights based on an agreement that Diego had made with his lawyer since 2008.

However, his heirs went to court and were vindicated as the decision focuses, among other things, on the fact that: “The documents presented by the company do not justify the creation of a trademark.” In addition, Maradona died before the relevant application was filed, therefore the Sattvica was not able to correct the deficiencies that were presented.”

Thus, the European Patent Commission (EUIPO) is asked to reject the relevant application that has been in its offices since 2015, when Sattvica requested that the right to use the trademark be secured. He can, however, appeal to the Supreme Court of the EU. to appeal the decision.
