Historical Background
Glock applied to trademark its pistol design in 2001 and received approval in 2009, with the mark defined as "a squarish slide without any cutouts at the front or rear." Over the past 15 years, Glock has brought at least 11 trademark infringement suits against 20 companies, predominantly manufacturers of toy or replica guns. However, the Rennes Court of Appeal cancelled Glock's 3D mark for the Glock 17 pistol on grounds it lacked distinctiveness.
