An Austrian real estate agent, Josef Kleindienst, has filed to claim several James Bond trademarks, arguing they have not been used in certain areas for over five years. This includes names and phrases associated with the character. Kleindienst's filing comes amid ongoing disputes between Eon Productions and Amazon over the future of the Bond franchise. He aims to develop the trademarks for potential ventures, such as restaurants and lounges. Danjaq, the company holding worldwide licensing rights to James Bond, has two months to respond to Kleindienst's challenge. The situation adds complexity to the existing tensions between Eon and Amazon.
