The name chosen by a New York company for a new Latino daily newspaper in this city is already a legally registered US Trademark.

In a letter to Juan Carlos Sánchez, general manager of the newly launched New York based publication, lawyers of AL DÍA Inc. of Pennsylvania requested that the company immediately cease and desist in its illegal use of the name under penalty of violating federal law.

 

AL DÍA Inc. of Pennsylvania’s property rights are being violated and the company is considering legal action, according a letter sent to Sánchez by Volpe & Koening, the intellectual property law firm representing the Philadelphia-based company.

 

AL DÍA Inc of Pennsylvania, a Philadelphia-based Spanish-language news organization, is owner of the AL DÍA trademark, which was registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office under trademark number 3,155,988 on October 17th 2006.

 

This trademark gives AL DÍA Inc. of Pennsylvania exclusive rights to the use of the AL DÍA brand in all print or digital news products across the United States.

 

The company is the owner of AL DÍA of Philadelphia, a weekly Latino newspaper with a 16 year trajectory, and of the website www.pontealdia.com, a national news website seeking to contribute to the dialogue on Latino issues through the use of digital technologies.

The AL DÍA Foundation, a non-profit arm of the company, also awards the “Felix Varela” Prize for Excellence in Spanish-language Journalism in the US, which gives 2 cash awards for $10,000 dollars each every year at a ceremony in Temple University School of Journalism in Philadelphia.

 

Recently, AL DÍA was the recipient of a silver medal for the best Hispanic Weekly in the United States by the National Association of Hispanic Publications (NAHP).
