Telefonica, Orange back EC tech and startup initiatives
2014-01-23 13:13:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The European Commission has announced two initiatives aimed at nurturing Europe's tech and digital startups into global internet companies and at the same time tackling the continent's unemployment problem. Telefonica and Orange are among the leading ICT companies, universities and financial institutions that have joined forces with the EC in setting up the projects: a new accelerator called the Startup Europe Partnership and a think tank called the European Digital Forum. The Startup Europe Partnership is an extension of the EC's Startup Europe initiative and will be led by the non-profit Mind the Bridge Foundation and Nesta, the UK's innovation foundation. The goal is to bring together the leading lights of Europe's entrepreneur and innovation industries, offering the opportunity for large corporations, startups and universities to connect and build networks. The European Digital Forum, meanwhile, is a digital economy think tank that will be led by The Lisbon Council in collaboration with Nesta. The idea behind the Forum is to give corporations, startups and other relevant players a voice in policy debates. Ultimately, it aims to become Europe's leading think tank and policy network on digital entrepreneurship.

Orange ready to drop EU roaming charges - report
2014-01-22 09:48:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Orange group CEO Stephane Richard told staff at Orange Spain that the company has changed its policy on European mobile roaming after fighting European Commission-led changes to gradually reduce trans-border roaming prices. "We want to be the first European operator to offer completely European communications everywhere we are present", he declared. Orange plans to announce the change in a few months. According to the report from French paper Les Echos, the company's "Monsier Roaming", Benoit Scheen, head of Orange's European activities outside France, is in charge of the process that may see Orange charge nearly the same for calls between its international affiliates as for national calls.

Spain rejects Orange's exclusive right to the colour orange
2014-01-13 16:40:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The Spanish Supreme Court has ruled that France Telecom does not own exclusive rights to use the square orange logo of its Orange brand. France Telecom's application to register its international trademark consisting of a square in the colour orange (specifically Pantone 151) in Spain was opposed by rival Spanish operator Jazztel back in 2009 on the grounds that it lacked distinctive character. In its ruling, reported in El País, the Supreme Court upheld the judgment of the High Court of Justice of Madrid, which had previously reversed the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office's decision to grant Orange's trademark. Jazztel lodged a contentious-administrative appeal against the original grant, arguing that it too used orange-coloured figurative elements, and its position has finally been accepted by the Supreme Court, which confirmed that although colour marks are eligible for registration under certain circumstances, Orange's square logo lacked sufficient distinctive character, adding that "the colour orange should be accessible to all traders in the marketplace".
