Points Of Interest

Summary

The application was based on the UK registration of the mark STOLICHNAYA in Class 33.

The respective goods were identical/similar.

Having compared the marks and on an ‘overall assessment’ the Hearing Officer found a likelihood of confusion and the application under Section 5(2)(b) succeeded accordingly.

The Hearing Officer did not go on to make formal findings under Sections 5(3) and 5(4)(a) but remarked that the likely outcome would also have been in favour of the applicants.
