At a crossroads between two companies, the victim was a little girl who was to be deprived of a fun trip.
In the UK, a mother bought two tickets to go with her daughter to Disneyland Paris. Nothing could go wrong, except that Her daughter’s name is Khaleesi.
Why is this a problem? When she went to get the documents at the local Passport Office, she was informed that they could not validate her daughter’s passport because Its name, in honor of one of the protagonists of the acclaimed series “Game of Thrones”, “belonged” to Warner Brothers.

Lucy, the 39-year-old mother, hired a group of lawyers to sort out the situation. They confirmed to her that, although “Game of Thrones” is registered as a trademark, this applies to products and services and not to personal names.
Anyway, The Passport Office demanded a letter from Warner Brothers to confirm that the child could use the name. “I was absolutely devastated, we were looking forward to our first holiday together. It was the first time I had heard anything like that, I was shocked,” said the mother.

In addition to the happiness of being able to make the trip with her daughter, Lucy explained that The decision was made because she shared her situation on social mediaand that if there had been no repercussions on the issue, none of this would have happened. “I hope the passport will be issued soon and they promised me that they would call in a few days to see if there had been any progress”, concluded.
