It was registered in OHIM for classes 9, 12, 28, 35, 38, 41, 42, and 45. However, in the United States, the application was refused on the ground that Âdronie is a descriptive term ie the examiner stated ÂÂ
DRONIE is a merely descriptive word used to refer to taking a video of oneÂs self using a camera on a droneÂ
It is likely the applicantÂs goods and services feature information about dronies and are used in taking, processing, posting and sharing dronies. Accordingly, the word DRONIE in the proposed mark is merely descriptive for a feature and use of the goods and services and registration must be refusedÂ

Surely as the USPTO had the sense to prevent the registration then OHIM ought to have least said no……and objected.
