Shazamme Trademark Approved

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Shazamme Trademark Approved
13 January 2022
Shazamme is excited to announce that it has received approval for its trademark from IPAustralia.
DC Comics and Apple withdrew their opposition for the full registration of the Shazamme trademark as per agreement which has allowed the Shazamme Trademark to be registered on 13 January 2022.
This means that Shazamme now has an unconditional right to the name and logo Shazamme.
Shazamme thanks DC Comics and Apple for their commercial approach to this matter.
Shazamme will now pursue a global Trademark as it expands globally with the Shazamme brand.
Co-Founder Nicole Clarke said: “We love the Shazamme brand and are elated to have come this point in our first year of operation. The Shazamme brand has already become highly recognisable across the globe by the recruitment, talent and staffing industry. We now have a clear path to build the Shazamme brand into a leader in the recruitment website technology sector around the world”.
Co-Founder Rick Maré said: “The simplicity and ease of recognition of the “Shazamme” brand is something that we strived for from day one. To be able to keep the name has been an amazing achievement and milestone for the business. To have been able to work with DC Comics and the largest global company, Apple and come to an agreement has been amazing. Many peers and corporate advisors suggested we should change the name as we will never win the battle. I say no more!”
