Points Of Interest

Summary

The applicants for a declaration of invalidity contended that the mark in suit had been registered in contravention of Sections 5(2)(b), 5(3), 5(4)(a) and 3(6) of the Act. The Hearing Officer found that there was indeed a likelihood of confusion and hence the mark had been registered contrary to the provisions of Section 5(2). In view of that finding the Hearing Officer did not go on to consider the other grounds of invalidity.
