Points Of Interest

Summary

The opposition was based on the opponents' use and registration of their mark HEAD, in Class 25.

Under Section 5(2)(b) the Hearing having taken account of all relevant factors found no likelihood of confusion.

The opposition failed under Section 5(4)(a) also, as the Hearing Officer found it difficult to accept that the evidence advanced the opponents' case beyond that already considered under Section 5(2)(b).
