Points Of Interest

Summary

The opposition was based on various JAGUAR marks, registered in respect of a number of services including in Class 39, “warehousing and distribution of vehicle parts”. The applicant’s specification was in respect of courier services.

The Hearing Officer found these respective services to be “…. if not identical at least at the very top end of similarity”. Having gone on to find that the respective marks shared “a high level of visual, aural and conceptual similarity” the Hearing Officer concluded that there existed a likelihood of confusion, and the Section 5(2)(b) opposition succeeded accordingly.

He did not go on to consider the opponent’s further objections under Sections 5(3) & 5(4)(a).
