Points Of Interest
Summary
The opponents’ case rested on the claim that Dhillon was a common surname, and the phonetic equivalent of an even more common UK surname "Dillon". The Hearing Officer stayed close to the current Registry practice in relation to surnames and the phonetic equivalents thereof, and the opposition failed accordingly.
