Galileo

Galileo is a joint initiative of the European Commission and ESA and will be Europe’s own global navigation satellite system. Once in operation it will provide a highly accurate, guaranteed positioning service under civilian control that will be interoperable with GPS and GLONASS, the two other navigation systems.

The name ‘Galileo’ was filed in 2002 as a Community Trademark and covers areas such as legal services and scientific and industrial research.

The ESA logo

ESA has filed in 2011 trademarks for its logo to reinforce the protection the logo already enjoys under Article 6ter of the Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property Rights signed in Paris on 20 March 1883.
