Result
Section 3(6): Opposition successful. Section 5(4)(a): Opposition failed.
Points Of Interest
Summary
The opposition was based on the opponents’ prior (and national use) of an MN & badge device and on the circumstance in which the applicant, (a breakaway brand of the national association) had applied for registration of their MNA mark and their intentions regarding the use thereof.
After a detailed examination of the evidence the Hearing Officer concluded that the applicants’ behaviour had fallen short of the standards of commercial behaviour that should have been observed. The opposition under Section 3(6) succeeded accordingly.
The evidence, however, was insufficient for success in a case under Section 5(4)(a).
