Section 5(2)(b): Opposition failed. Section 5(3): No formal finding. – The opposition was based on the opponents’ marks GLEN ORCHY and HUNTER’S GLEN.
There was no dispute that identical goods )alcoholic beverages, whisky etc) were involved.
Having compared the marks the Hearing Officer found no likelihood of confusion and the opposition under Section 5(2)(b) failed accordingly.
She did not go on to make a formal finding under Section 5(3) but did remark that the available evidence did not provide much support for the claim.
