Points Of Interest
Summary
The opposition was based on the similarity of the device element of the mark (essentially a diamond shape). The Hearing Officer considered that all the absolute grounds under Section 3 were misconceived or insufficiently particularised, and he dismissed them all. Under Section 5(2)(b) the Hearing Officer concluded that there was no likelihood of confusion. Under Section 5(4)(a) the Hearing Officer’s view was that use of the applicants’ mark would not involve misrepresentation or damage.
