Points Of Interest
Summary
The oppositions were based on the opponents’ mark MANGO, registered in Class 16.
The Hearing Officer considered that the goods were not, on a narrow interpretation, identical and so he based his examination on Section 5(2)(a).
In this he concluded:
the marks were identical;
the respective goods were similar, despite the difference in the subject matter of the printed publications;
the consumer was likely to consider that they originated from the same undertaking or an economically linked undertaking.
There existed a likelihood of confusion; the opposition under Section 5(2)(a) succeeded accordingly and the case under Section 5(4)(a) was not considered.
