Points Of Interest

Summary

The opposition was based on a number of 'TOMMY' marks in the ownership of the opponents. The Hearing Officer found that most of these involved identical goods, and went on to compare the marks; (he noted that TOMMY SPORT & TOMMY JEANS provided the opponents' strongest case). He found likelihood of confusion and the opposition under Section 5(2)(b) succeeded accordingly. He made no formal finding on the other grounds.
