WIPR - Apr 8 - Linkedin has been successful in halting the registration of sexual fetish interest site, 'KinkedIn'. On April 4, the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) ruled 'KinkedIn' could not be registered after LinkedIn said the mark was highly similar to its own trademark and will cause consumers to believe there is a connection between the two companies. JK Solutions applied to register the KinkedIn trademark for services including "personal introductions, computer dating services and video dating services" in 2017.
