Points Of Interest

Summary

The opposition was based on several registrations but it was agreed that their best case was founded on their registration of AIR MILES in Classes 16, 18, 25 & 35. The Hearing Officer did not find a likelihood of confusion; in particular he followed the findings of a Hearing Officer in relation to the words FERRY MILES in an earlier opposition. The Section 5(2)(b) objection failed accordingly
