Points Of Interest

Summary

The opposition was based on the opponent' mark which comprised the words MUSK by ALYSSA ASHLEY and the device of linked male and female symbols. The Hearing Officer found no evidence of bad faith and the Section 3(6) ground was therefore dismissed. Turning to the ground under Section 5(4), the Hearing found that the evidence did not support a case of passing-off; opposition therefore failed.
