Sonos Seeks to Trademark Own Brand Name for Speaker Lamp Sold Through Ikea

Sonos applied Oct. 22 to trademark its own brand name on the table lamp “with embedded wireless speakers” it began selling exclusively through Ikea during the summer (see 1908020042), Patent and Trademark Office records show. Sonos began using the brand “in commerce” on the Ikea lamp “at least as early” as Aug. 1, said the application. It originally trademarked the Sonos brand name in April 2006 and renewed it in May 2015, say PTO records. Ikea is selling a $179 table lamp under the Symfonisk brand with a Sonos speaker built into the base (see 1908020042). The PTO application includes photos of the Symfonisk packaging and of the lamp's underbelly showing the Sonos and Ikea logos.
