March 11, 2015 | By Business Wire News

NEW YORK

Naked Brand Group Inc. (OTCQB:NAKD) (“Naked” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the European Community Trademark Office has issued a Registration Certificate for its Naked trademark covering apparel. Effective immediately, the Naked trademark is protected in all 28 Member States of the European Union and further facilitates Naked’s strategy to become a global lifestyle brand.

“Europe will be an important market for Naked and securing strong intellectual property protection for our brand is a significant step in building our next phase of global distribution. The European market is well suited for Naked’s products and we are positioned to align with leading international retailers,” says Carole Hochman, CEO and Chief Creative Officer. “We look forward to offering customers the opportunity to ‘Get Naked’ with our expanded product line, new designs and packaging.”

Naked will be leveraging its executive team’s and advisory board’s expertise in Europe, which has a track record of launching and building successful lifestyle brands throughout the region. The European Trademark builds on Naked’s recent expansion announcement in Canada and Puerto Rico with retailer Nordstrom.

ABOUT Naked

Naked was founded on one basic desire, to create a new standard for how products worn close to the skin fit, feel and function. Established in 2010, by Joel Primus in Vancouver, Naked has a strong and growing footprint for its innovative and luxurious men’s innerwear products in some of the best online and department stores in North America. In 2014, renowned designer and sleepwear pioneer Carole Hochman, joined Naked as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Creative Officer and Chairwoman with the goal of growing Naked into a global lifestyle brand. Naked has since relocated to New York City and is hard at work developing amazing women’s intimate apparel, sleepwear and loungewear – the kind of extraordinary products for which Carole Hochman has been admired for years. These women’s collections will be introduced during 2015. Meanwhile, Naked is committed to constant innovation and optimization of its men’s collections as well. In the future, Naked plans to expand into other apparel and product categories that can exemplify the mission of the brand, such as activewear, swimwear, sportswear and more.
