Points Of Interest

Summary

The opposition was based on the opponents' registration and use of their marks IMPERIAL LEATHER and LEATHER solus. The Hearing Officer found the goods to be similar and the marks also. He considered that a likelihood of confusion existed, and the Section 5(2)(b) succeeded accordingly. He made no formal finding under Section 5(4)(a) but he remarked that the opponents would not be likely to succeed under that head.
