Points Of Interest

Summary

The opposition succeeded under Sections 3(1)(b) and (c), the Hearing Officer's reasoning corresponding, so far as the words RENNIE MACKINTOSH in the mark were concerned, with that set forth in respect of a co-pending application (SRIS O/143/00), involving the same parties and the same evidence, though he further found that the additional words failed to make the mark as a whole any more distinctive. Opposition failed on all other grounds, again for the reasons set forth in O/143/00.
