Points Of Interest
Summary
Under Section 3 the Hearing Officer found that there was indeed a prima facie objection to the mark, and the evidence of use filed either at the application stage or in the proceedings had not overcome that objection. The opposition under Section 3(1)(b) succeeded accordingly. Under Sections 3(3), 5(3) and 5(4) the opponents had not made out their case. Under Section 5(2) the Hearing Officer considered either that the goods were not similar, or that a simple clarification of the specification could avoid any remote possibility of confusion.
