Points Of Interest

Summary

The registered proprietor was able to demonstrate use, albeit on a limited range of goods, on a small scale, and only in Northern Ireland. However, the use was genuine decided the Hearing Officer and the use had been in the UK. (The issue was "whether the mark had been in genuine use within the jurisdiction and not the extent or geographical spread of the use, although in a wider context such issues may be factored into the overall consideration of whether there had been genuine use").

The registrations were reduced to reflect the actual use shown.
