		Intellectual Property - From: 2001 To: 2001 This page lists 1421 cases, and was prepared on 08 August 2015. Â Senso Di Donna's Trade Mark [2001] ETMR 5; C0006716979/1 2001 ETMR Intellectual Property The First Cancellation Division considered what would count as bad faith in an application for a trade mark: "Bad faith is a narrow legal concept in the CTMR system. Bad faith is the opposite of good faith, generally implying or involving, but not limited to actual or constructive fraud, or a design to mislead or deceive another, or any other sinister motive. Conceptually, bad faith can be understood as a "dishonest intention". This means that bad faith may be interpreted as unfair practices involving lack of any honest intention on the part of the applicant of the CTM at the time of filing. Example: if it can be shown that the parties concerned had been in contact, for instance at an exhibition in the respective trade, and where then one party filed an application for a CTM consisting of the other party's brand, there would be reason to conclude bad faith. In this case, however, according to the meaning of the term "bad faith", there is no evidence that Senso di Donna Vertribes - GmbH was acting dishonestly or that they intended any similar act, or were involved in unfair practices or the like." 1 Citers Â Lancome Parfums et Beaute and Cie's Trade Mark [2001] ETMR 89 2001 ETMR Intellectual Property Bad faith in application for trade mark 1 Citers Â Regina -v- Keane [2001] FSR 63 2001 CACD Crime, Intellectual Property Trade Marks Act 1994 92 1 Cites 1 Citers Â A Fulton Co Ltd -v- Grant Barnett & Co Ltd [2001] RPC 36 2001 ChD Park J Intellectual Property The court considered an allegation that part of an unregistered design had been copied. The defendant said that the section required a claim in respect of the entire design. Held: The part in respect of which a claim must be made must neither be insignificant, nor included in any part of the design which 'must match' " . . . the core meaning of "design" is the shape or configuration of an article. Prima facie that would mean the shape or configuration of the whole article. But it does not have to be the whole article: the design can be the shape or configuration of the article, and apparently any part may be sufficient. And the scope of what design right may subsist in is enlarged further by the reference to "any aspect" of the shape or configuration concerned . . . Design right might be claimed to subsist in the whole aspect of the shape or configuration of the whole . . . or it might be claimed to subsist in one or more particular aspects of the shape or configuration of one or more particular parts . . ."

The established test was whether the claimant had a real prospect of succeeding at trial in restraining publication, but the new test was whether he was likely to do so. Nevertheless the difference was so small as to make any calculation fruitless. Sir Andrew Morritt set out the approach to be taken: "Of course, the defendants' right to freedom of expression is an element in their democratic right to campaign for the abolition of all animal xenotransplantation or other experimentation. But they may continue to do that whether the injunction sought by Imutran is granted or not. The issue is whether they should be free to do so with Imutran's confidential and secret documents. Many of those documents are of a specialist and technical nature suitable for consideration by specialists in the field but not by the public generally. Given the provisos to the injunction sought there would be no restriction on the ability of the defendants to communicate the information to those specialists connected with the regulatory bodies denoted by Parliament as having special responsibility in the field."

There were differences between the equipment alleged to be infringing and the patent. The two questions of fact which must be answered are whether the variant has any effect upon the way the 'invention' works and, if so, would that then have been obvious to the skilled man. The difference here was material. Nevertheless, the claim of obviousness also failed.

There was no agreement as to the use of the trading names and trade marks. The original law of Trade Marks prohibited bare exclusive licenses, licences excluding the rights of the owner to use the mark, and with no quality control. Such licences can be deceptive as to the origin of goods, but commercial practice has moved on. The case must be referred to the European Court of Justice to establish whether the law should now permit such bare licences where they can no longer be seen to be misleading. The "better view is that a company can claim the protection of this provision" protecting use of its own name..

Only twelve months of the patent remained, and the claimants applied for an extension of the injunction twelve months beyond the patent expiry, and for other injunctive relief. Held: The defendant could not begin arrangements to take advantage of the expiry of the patent until it expired, and the extension of the injunction would put the parties back in the position they would have been in if the defendants had not infringed the patent.

The appellants responded putting him to strict proof of his title. The title included assignments from a partnership to limited companies, but the original documents were no longer available. He sought to have admitted in evidence secondary evidence. The appellants submitted that before that secondary evidence could be admitted, the plaintiff should have shown that he had taken executed a diligent search for the document. Held: At its highest, the best evidence rule was not an absolute rule. This is so particularly where the document was not in the possession of the party. It is now for the court to look at all the circumstances, and to admit secondary evidence accordingly.

Copyright was accepted, but in the claim for unregistered design right, the respondent said the design was commonplace. Held: The judge was correct to use his own experience to find that it was so. The extent of the field within which comparisons were to be made was a matter of fact and degree for the judge. He was not restricted in allowing comparison with older but extant examples of similar designs. The term 'design field in question' was not defined in the Act and fell to be construed according to its ordinary meaning. In looking at the design, the judge was entitled to examine it from the point of view of the ordinary person it was designed to appeal to rather than from the point of view of the expert. The fact that the definition of design did not incorporate any reference to the nature of purpose of the article or the material structure of it meant that these were not relevant to the identifying of the design field.

The assets were, as always intended, later transferred into the limited company, and the two developers were directors. It was held that company name could not be divorced entirely from its trading name, and the director's fiduciary duty to the company required him to transfer the trade mark registration to the company. Registering it in his own name had been an act for his personal interests conflicting with the interests of the company hew was bound to protect.

The opposition related to the same application under consideration in SRIS O/186/01, and the opponent relied on largely the same evidence and argument, but cited a different device mark. However, the Hearing Officer came to the same findings, dismissing opposition under Sections 5(2)(b) and 5(4)(a) for essentially the same reasons.

In regard to opposition under Section 5(2)(b), the Hearing Officer accepted that identical goods and services were involved under the respective marks, and that the opponent's mark had a reasonably high distinctive character, especially among customers in the catering trade. He therefore proceeded to compare the respective marks, but in applying the usual authorities he concluded that there was no likelihood of confusion in a visual context. In his view, while both marks contained devices of two chefs, the respective stylised representations were very different and the differences would survive imperfect recollection. Finding also no risk of aural confusion, or any conceptual basis for confusion (the use of chef devices being relatively common, and the opponent having failed to establish that the device of two chefs per se was distinctive of its goods and services), he therefore dismissed opposition on that ground. Opposition under Section 5(4)(a) was also dismissed, briefly, the Hearing Officer finding no greater risk of misrepresentation, given the opponent's relatively limited goodwill under its mark.

Whether the designs are substantially different is for the court on a comparison of the features judged eye. The court represents a customer interested in the design. It can look at available design if the design of the registered design only differs from the prior art by such details. Where a design differs radically from previous designs, the interested eye would more likely concentrate on the general form of the new design. Given the involvement of a judge in that factual assessment, his decision should be set aside only with care, and not in this case.

Points Of Interest 1. Genuine Use: Importation of goods bearing a mark into the UK is sufficient to support a claim to genuine use. 2. See also associated decision O/263/01. 3. The applicants for revocation appealed to the High Court. In his decision dated 19 December 2001 Mr Justice Jacob allowed the appeal as against the Class 5 registration. As regards the Class 3 application a reference was made to the European Court of Justice as to what constitutes "genuine use". (See [2002] ETMR 34). 4. Reasoned Order from the ECJ [2004] FSR 38. 5.

Summary The registered proprietors evidence of use was somewhat inconclusive and the scale of use was modest. However, it was accepted that there had been genuine use in respect of some goods and the Hearing Officer decided that the mark should be allowed to remain on the register for a reduced specification of goods.

Points Of Interest Filing of late evidence : The applicants wished to file evidence three days before the hearing about the fact that an ELLE mark (French for SHE) in relation to women’s magazines co-existed with the opponents mark. The Hearing Officer refused to allow in the late evidence and in any event took the view that it would not assist the applicants since there was no information about the circumstances of co-existence. Summary The opponents own the mark SHE and have a significant reputation in it in relation to magazines for women. The applicants claimed to have used their mark for a number of years, also in relation to magazines for women, and no confusion had occurred. The dispute rested on a comparison of the respective marks and the Hearing Officer found that there was no likelihood of visual or aural confusion. As regards conceptual confusion this might arise in only very restricted circumstances where arabic speakers would recognise HIA as meaning SHE and thus assume a connection with the opponents. As the opponents had filed no evidence about the likely number of such people in the UK the Hearing Officer decided that they had failed to discharge the onus to show that confusion would arise to any significant extent.

They claimed to have used the mark GRACE in respect of training services for their own employees and to have sponsored scientific educational fairs, conferences and other events. The opponents filed no evidence in relation to the grounds under Sections1(1), 3(1)(a), 3(3)(b) and 3(6) so the Hearing Officer dismissed these grounds with minimal consideration. Under Section 5(2)(b) the Hearing Officer accepted that the respective marks were very close but as the opponents goods and services were very different from the services of the applicant there was no likelihood of confusion. Under Sections 5(3) and 5(4) the Hearing Officer noted the lack of real use and reputation in the United Kingdom of the opponents’ mark and concluded that the opponents must also fail on these grounds. The ground under Section 6(1)(c) related to a claim that a Brazil Tribunal had held GRACE to be a well known mark in Brazil under the terms of the Paris Convention. As the evidence filed did not support such a claim as regards the UK the Hearing Officer also rejected this ground.

Factors suggesting the Patents County Court included that the parties were smaller sized companies or of lesser means, or the length of the hearing, and the availability of an earlier listing. Longer cases might be more appropriate for the High Court, since such cases might also be more complex. The effects on those other than the actual parties should also be considered.

(2) Damages were to be assessed by reference to two periods, November 1992 to February 1996 and March 1996 to March 1997. The difference between them is that in the latter period but not the former Mr Blayney was incorporating Welsh gold which the judge considered to be an important selling point. (3) Damages were to be assessed by reference to the profit Mr Blayney would have made in respect of such of the sales of infringing articles effected by Clogau as he could show he would have made but for the infringement. (4) In the absence of any evidence as to an appropriate rate of royalty for sales of infringing articles by Clogau which Mr Blayney could not show he would have made but for the infringement Mr Blayney was not entitled to damages.

The challengers owned a trade mark 'Reef Brazil' in class 25 in relation to footwear, and claimed that there was a risk of confusion, and that if unregistered the use of the mark would have been a passing off. The test was whether the marks were so close, allowing for the goods to which they would be applied, that there was a risk of confusion. The comparison required under the section included looking at the channels of trade. In this cases there was a substantial overlap in the potential customers, and the items would be likely to be sold in the same shops, with confusion persisting perhaps even after a close examination of the goods. Pumfrey J discussed how a court could look for passing off: "There is one major problem in assessing a passing off claim on paper, as will normally happen in the Registry. This is the cogency of the evidence of reputation and its extent. It seems to me that in any case in which this ground of opposition is raised the registrar is entitled to be presented with evidence which at least raises a prima facie case that the opponent's reputation extends to the goods comprised in the applicant's specification of goods. The requirements of the objection itself are considerably more stringent that the enquiry under s. 11 of the 1938 Act (see Smith Hayden & Co. Ltd's Application (OVAX) (1946) 63 RPC 97 as qualified by BALI Trade Mark [1969] RPC 472). Thus the evidence will include evidence from the trade as to reputation; evidence as to the manner in which the goods are traded or the services supplied; and so on. Evidence of reputation comes primarily from the trade and the public, and will be supported by evidence of the extent of use. To be useful, the evidence must be directed to the relevant date. Once raised, the applicant must rebut the prima facie case. Obviously, he does not need to show that passing off will not occur, but he must produce sufficient cogent evidence to satisfy the hearing officer that it is not shown on the balance of probabilities that passing off will occur."

The defendant challenged the patent for obviousness. Held: Both of the inventive features relied upon to support the patent were obvious in the light of the prior art. The argument that a combination would lack an inventive step only if it was obvious to combine the two obvious features was rejected since this would "turn the law of collocation on its head." It was difficult to reconcile the collocation rule with the procedure adopted in the Windsurfing case. Laddie discussed the idea of joint tortfeasors: "The underlying concept for joint tortfeasance must be that the joint tortfeasor has been so involved in the commission of the tort as to make himself liable for the tort. Unless he has made the infringing act his own, he has not himself committed the tort. That notion seems to us what underlies all the decisions to which we were referred. If there is a common design or concerted action or otherwise a combination to secure the doing of the infringing acts, then each of the combiners has made the act his own and will be liable. Like the judge, we do not think that what was done by Meneghetti was sufficient. It was merely acting as a supplier of goods to a purchaser which was free to do what it wanted with the goods. Meneghetti did not thereby make MFI's infringing acts its own." 1 Cites 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â Mark: FORM ONLY MARK 2026530 31 Jul 2001 TMR Mr G Salthouse Intellectual Property IPO Opposition.

It was costly. The defendants recovered the information from a licensed user, and used it for its own business purposes. It was not suggested that the licensee had any right to sub-licence the data. The Board had succeeded, at first instance, in arguing that the defendant had infringed its database rights. It was argued that the judge had failed to acknowledge that the defendants had not taken advantage of the way in which the maker had rendered the contents individually accessible. However nothing the regulations required that element. Nevertheless, in a case where any doubt as to the interpretation of a directive required resolution, that question could be referred to the European Court of Justice. It was so referred.

Jacobs European, Intellectual Property Europa Appeal - Admissibility - Community trade mark - Regulation (EC) No 40/94 - Absolute ground for refusal to register - Distinctive character - Marks consisting exclusively of descriptive signs or indications - 'BABY-DRY'. The purpose of the prohibition of registration of purely descriptive signs as trade marks is to prevent registration as trade marks of signs or indications which, because they are no different from the usual way of designating the relevant goods or services or their characteristics, could not fulfil the function of identifying the undertaking that markets them and are thus devoid of the distinctive character needed for that function. If a real difference could be seen between the words used in a trade mark application, and their normal usage, the rules disallowing the registration of purely descriptive marks was not to be applied. Although the words in 'Baby-Dry' were separately descriptive, the combination was not ordinary usage. For trade marks composed of words, descriptiveness is viewed in relation, not only to each word taken separately, but also to the whole which they formed, and in the eyes of a native speaker. Though the phrase did deliver a description, the non-standard ordering was enough to disallow refusal of registration.

The defendants urged that the contract operated in restraint of trade. There had been long running and widespread trade mark disputes, resolved eventually by an agreement where the defendants undertook not to use the initials. That agreement came to be ignored by the defendants, and eventually the plaintiffs began this action. They argued that any contract in restraint of trade was void unless shown to be reasonable, and that in this case there was no prospect of confusion. The agreement was void. Arguments as to restraint of trade in intellectual property disputes must show some real and unreasonable fetter on trade. In this case though the Fund showed a reasonable need for such restraint. The court thought it would be odd if breach of an ordinary restraint of trade covenant (not to work in a defined area at a defined job for a defined time) did not attract an account, whereas breach of a lesser restraint (not to use a trademark in a trade otherwise permitted) did, and refused an account. 1 Cites 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â Richmond The American University (Trade Mark: Opposition) [2001] UKIntelP o42901 2 Oct 2001 IPO Intellectual Property [ Bailii ] Â 'Richmond the American University': Application No 2051132A OPP 49471; OPP 49471 2 Oct 2001 TMR Mr Salthouse Intellectual Property cw Inter Partes Decisions - Trade Marks - Opposition [ PO ] Â Taxivision (Trade Mark: Invalidity) [2001] UKIntelP o42801 2 Oct 2001 IPO Intellectual Property [ Bailii ] Â 'Taxivision': Application No 2199041 INV 12151; INV 12151 2 Oct 2001 TMR Mr MacGillivray Intellectual Property cw Inter Partes Decisions - Trade Marks - Invalidity [ PO ] Â Mark: RICHMOND THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY 2051132B 2 Oct 2001 TMR Mr G Salthouse Intellectual Property IPO Opposition.

They asserted the patent was not novel in the light of a US patent, and even so was obvious. One test was whether an application of the claimed patent would inevitably infringe the previous patent. Both parties had prepared models from the earlier patent. Because some ways of implementing the Dyson patent would not infringe the earlier one, the attack on novelty failed. A finding in relation to obviousness is akin to a finding of fact, and should only rarely be disturbed on appeal. It would not be set aside here. On infringement of the Dyson patent, the findings of the use of chambers in series, with a cyclone operating as the second chamber were justified on the evidence before the judge.

In other words, if, in relation to the wrongful acts which are the subject of complaint, the liability of the individual as a joint tortfeasor with the company arises from his participation or involvement in ways which go beyond the exercise of constitutional control, then there is no reason why the individual should escape liability because he could have procured those same acts through the exercise of constitutional control. iii) liability as a joint tortfeasor may arise where the individual "intends and procures and shares a common design that the infringement takes place". iv) whether or not there is a separate tort of procuring an infringement of a statutory right, actionable at common law, an individual who does "intend, procure and share a common design" that the infringement should take place may be liable as a joint tortfeasor."

Their business was incorporated, and later sold to the claimants. A member of the Asprey family sought to carry on new businesses through limited companies using the family name. Upon request, he changed the names to the names of the respondent companies. Later he left their employment and again sought to trade under his own name. The claimants owned a trade mark for the name associated with the sale of high value goods. He asserted that he had sought to avoid any confusion, and that most of his business was with wealthy individuals who traded with him rather than any company for whom he worked. The judge's decision was capable of being justified on the evidence, and could not be set aside as to passing off. The respondent sought to be allowed to use his own name to trade. Also, where a defendant in trade uses as his sign a word which constitutes the registered trade mark of another in combination with other words, the sign is identical with the mark for the purposes of s. 10 (1). Whilst the injunction required amendment to allow the individual to trade under his own name as a sole trader, it would otherwise stand.

There was a dispute, but the claimant said she had refused consent to her being referred again to another consultant. She said she had wanted a report for the purposes of the proceedings only. When the report was copied to other professionals, including her doctor, she claimed damages for defamation and breach of confidence by the Doctor. The issue resolved itself to the question of whether she had been referred for treatment or for a report. Held: Although the judge's findings as to the credibility of the two protagonists was difficult to reconcile with his findings, that aspect did not undermine the second finding that the report was to be prepared for one purpose, and was not should not have been or used for other purposes disclosed without the complainant's consent.

The case concerned Dutch copyright, and the experts could not agree on the degree of copying required to found a claim. Held: The expert evidence fell well short of establishing any copying, and the court rejected the allegation entirely. Jacob J: "I see no reason why a judge who has formed an opinion that an expert had seriously broken his Part 35 duty should not, in an appropriate case, refer the matter to the expert's professional body if he or she has one. Whether there is a breach of the expert's professional rules and if so what sanction is appropriate would be a matter for the body concerned."

The court had to be shown some error by the Comptroller. Evidence had been excluded, but the evidence had been filed late, with no reason being given, and would have amounted to an attack not on the amendment but on the validity of the patent.

Jann, N. Colneric, S. von Bahr, C. Gulmann, D. A. O. Edward, A. La Pergola, J.-P. Puissochet, L. Sevón, V. Skouris and C. W. A. Timmermans Advocate General C. Stix-Hackl Intellectual Property, European, Commercial An injunction was sought to prevent retailers marketing in the EEA products which had been obtained outside the EEA for resale within the EEA but outside the controlled distribution system. Held: Silence alone was insufficient to constitute implied consent for the resale within the EEA of goods otherwise than in accordance with a licence from the Trade Mark owner in cases where he sought to establish a scheme of distributing only to licensed distributors and sales outlets. A consent might be implied in other circumstances. Exhaustion of rights did not take place by marketing the goods outside the EEA. Explicit consent was necessary for any exhaustion of rights, and it was for the trader alleging consent to prove it. Articles 5 to 7 of the directive embody a 'complete harmonisation' of the rules relating to the rights conferred by a trade mark, define the rights of trade mark proprietors in the Community. Europa Trade marks - Directive 89/104/EEC - Article 7(1) - Exhaustion of the rights conferred by a trade mark - Goods placed on the market outside the EEA -Imported into the EEA - Consent of the trade mark proprietor - Whether consent required to be express or implied - Law governing the contract -Presumption of consent - Non-applicability. (1) Articles 5 and 7TMD embodied a complete harmonisation of the rules relating to the rights conferred by a mark and the limitation on the rule of European Union exhaustion; (2) the mere fact that the proprietor of a trade mark has consented to the first marketing of goods using his mark outside the EEA does not mean that he has consented to the marketing of those goods in the EEA., and (3) the proprietor of a mark does not have to ensure that those goods bear a warning that they may not be placed on the market within the EEA. Therefore, the proprietor of a trade mark has the right to control whether or not goods using his mark are first marketed in the EEA.

Published works are protected for fifty years after the author's death, but unpublished works received protection for fifty years after the work was created. A European Directive had extended the protection to 70 years. Held: The work was complex, with many amendments and an unsettled form. The defendant had done much preparatory work before publication, and that work had begun before the copyright was revived by the new regulations. Had he acquired his own copyright so that the original Joycean copyright was not revived by the new regulations. The claimants suggested that it was absurd to make a substantial distinction between the work as published by Joyce, and the unpublished texts from which that work was gathered. The regulations protected works where arrangements for publication had been made before the regulations came into effect. The term 'arrangements for publication' should be construed not too widely, and the defendant's editorial activities were not sufficient to give him protection. The defendants sought a compulsory licence under regulation 24. In this case they had given sufficient notice to be entitled to a licence. The claimants sought damages for passing off, claiming that the work was so different from Joyce's own as to be misleading. The claim was unusual but failed.

Turning to Polycell’s application, he considered that Glamrock’s specification should be partially revoked.

The ground under Section 11 was on the basis that the opponents had used their DU PONT mark from 1963 in relation to articles of clothing with turnover in 1993 amounting to £30m and promotion expenditure of some £2m. In use however, the DU PONT mark was used to indicate origin of the materials from which the clothing was made rather than origin of the clothing per se. In the proceedings the Hearing Officer stated that this use did not assist the opponents as the use of the DU PONT mark was at best ancillary and other marks were used to indicate origin of the articles of clothing. The applicants also filed use of their mark ST DUPONT with turnover of some £86k before the relevant date. Attention was also drawn to the fact that the signature element of the mark in suit was already registered in respect of the goods applied for here. The Hearing Officer considered the case presented by both parties and accepted that the opponents mark had been used in relation to fibres and fabrics for use in making articles of clothing and such goods were therefore goods of the same description as articles of clothing. Under Section 11 the dispute therefore rested on a comparison of the respective marks DU PONT and ST Dupont (signature) and script letter D. The Hearing Officer considered that the two marks were not similar since the applicants mark required analysis to establish that it was in fact a DUPONT mark and the letter D was also a distinguishing feature. As the marks were not similar the ground under Section 11 failed. In view of his decision under Section 11 that the respective marks were not similar the Hearing Officer considered that there was no need to consider the matter under Section 12(3). Additional Points 1. The opponents sought leave to file further evidence to show that they had used the script and normal print versions of their S T DUPONT mark. Leave was allowed. 2. The Judge accepted that only modest use was claimed but was satisfied that this was sufficient for Section 11 purposes. 3. The applicants use did not support a claim for the application of “Honest Concurrent Use” to counter the opponents success under Section 11.

At examination stage the opponents marks had been raised as citations against the applicants application. Subsequently the applicants filed the opponents consent dated 5 May 1997 in respect of a range of goods in Class 9 and in that letter of consent the opponents quoted the numbers of six prior registrations. However, following advertisement of the applicants mark some four years later the opponents filed notice of opposition under Section 5 of the Act; drawing attention to two further registrations in their ownership (Nos 1071474 and 1159199) and seeking further restriction of the applicants specification. In response the applicants said that consent once given could not be withdrawn and asked that the opposition be declared void. The consent by the opponents had been properly given and no good reasons had been given as to why the opponents wished to withdraw their consent despite the listings of two further registrations since those registrations had been on the Register in May 1997. At the Hearing Licence, Contract, Estoppel and Acquiescence were all discussed as was the effect of consent and the manner in which it was given. Having considered the matter carefully the Hearing Officer decided that the opponents were estopped from entering opposition to this application since they had given proper consent some four years previously; had not taken any action to withdraw consent earlier and this had encouraged the applicants to think that no further objections would come from the opponents. In all the circumstances the Hearing Officer said " It appears to me unconscionable that the opposition should proceed and equity will be satisfied if it is dismissed.

The Appointed Person did not see how a filing in these circumstances could be an act of bad faith. An applicant was perfectly entitled to file an application if he believed that he was entitled to a registration even if he was aware of potential objections from another party. Opposition failed on this ground. The opponents had filed evidence in support of a claim that they had an enhanced reputation in their mark in the UK. However, much of the evidence of use was after the relevant date and the Hearing Officer had decided that the opponents had only an average reputation in their mark at the relevant date. The Appointed Person accepted this finding and went one to review the Hearing Officer’s finding under Section 5(2)(b). He concluded that the Hearing Officer had applied the proper tests when comparing the respective marks M and device MEDISON and MEDICON; that he had taken account of the nature of the goods and the nature of the average customer. Having compared the marks globally the Hearing Officer had decided that there was no realistic likelihood of confusion. The Appointed Person confirmed this view. Opposition on this ground failed.

In the substantive matter, the opponent claimed to have established a goodwill in the mark BITESIZE. After a careful examination of this claim, however, the Hearing Officer considered any possible damage was limited to a common field of activity, ie some, only, of the services in the Class 41 specifications. He ordered that the Class 41 specification be reduced accordingly. Since this was only a very limited success, given the breadth of the opponents’ attack, the Hearing Officer made an award of costs to the applicants.

It was sensible to go straight from the Directive, rather than the Act which implemented it. The onus was on the holder to demonstrate use. One claim was for medical use, but the product had not been licensed for such, and the registrar had deemed it unused. What amount and kind of use will suffice to prove that a mark has been put to genuine use within the meaning of the Article? Provided there is nothing artificial about a transaction under a mark, then it will amount to "genuine" use. There is no minimum.
