Points Of Interest

Summary

The opponents showed use of their unregistered mark since around January 1993. The Hearing Officer considered it reasonable to infer that the opponents were likely to have established a degree of goodwill and a reputation in the trade mark PROFESSIONAL SOLUTIONS. It followed that misrepresentation was almost unavoidable and damage would be caused to the opponents’ rights.
