Points Of Interest

Summary

The opposition was based on the mark SK-II registered in Class 3 in respect of goods (which may be broadly described as ‘toiletries’). The application was proposed for goods for use “in a place of business involving a qualified beauty therapist”. The Hearing Officer found the marks similar and the goods in Class 3 to be identical. There was ‘reasonable similarity’ in the Class 8 goods and a ‘notional’ overlap in the trade circumstances. The opposition succeeded.
