Summary

This was one of two closely related actions involving the same parties and heard on the same day. The other is set out in BL O/309/04).

As in BL O/309/04) the marks involved were three dimensional shapes, essentially washing tablets.

The issues involved were much the same as in BL O/309/04)(q.v). The Hearing Officer applied the same reasoning and reached the same findings, mutatis mutandis, as in the other case.
