[Advocacy Advisors] Study request - OHIM

Thu Feb 27 12:30:57 UTC 2014

Hi Yana,

thanks for the pointer! Some examples of the social value are indeed very
much needed.

I also realised that Babmi/Pinnochio have different legal status in the US
and in Europe, I shall therefore replace them with Cindarella, to play it
safe.
