That is concerning that the name "Madeleine" had already been trademarked by Madeleine Mode GmbH in Germany and IPO was notifying this company of the McCann's trademark. Surprising it took to November to do that though.

This was filed by Bates Wells & Braithwaite, who must have known it was not, and could never be CHARITABLE.
They specialise in Charity work.
They know the rules, but they have still put down Charitable fundraising.
That is not true. The fundraising is NOT charitable. It is very specifically for the set purposes of supporting the family, and doing a few other things.

Why did they do it ?
