Summary
The registered proprietor could not show any use but sought to rely on the evidence of their attempts to find suitable franchisees in the UK as providing proper reasons for non-use. However, no information was provided about their progress or their experiences in other markets; the Hearing Officer found that there were no proper reasons, and he also felt bound by earlier decisions that the Registrar had no discretion to preserve the registration.
