Summary
The opponents have a prior registration for the mark GLOBO and claimed to have used it on a substantial scale. No evidence filed to support claim that the mark applied for is not capable of distinguishing. The Hearing Officer concluded that while the goods at issue are the same or similar the marks are not confusingly similar. Hearing Officer took note of the fact that there are a large number of GLOBE marks on the Register in relation to the goods at issue in this case.
