Dear Mr Murphy,
I have recently become aware of the article on your website at the above link. In particular, I note that it contains a reference to the word “Portacabin”.
I am contacting you to remind you that PORTAKABIN® is a European and UK registered trade mark of Portakabin Limited. As such, the PORTAKABIN® trade mark should only be used to refer to portable buildings that have been manufactured by Portakabin Limited it is not a generic term to describe portable buildings in general. In addition, variants of our PORTAKABIN® trade mark, such as, for example, portacabin, should not be used to refer to portable buildings at all, even if they have been manufactured by Portakabin Limited.
The purpose of this message is to kindly request that you remove all references to the word “Portacabin” from your website. On a more constructive note, could I suggest use of generic terms such as “cabin”, “jackleg cabin”, “portable cabin” or “modular building” as appropriate.
On the face of it, this may seem trivial, but it is very important to us as a business and we would be most grateful for your cooperation.
Regards
Dick Ellershaw
Intellectual Property Manager
Portakabin Limited
