Points Of Interest
Summary
This opposition to a request for protection of an international registration was based on the mark McKINLEY itself an international registration protected in the UK.
The goods were identical. Having compared the marks however, and after taking account of other relevant factors the Hearing Officer found no likelihood of confusion. The opposition under Section 5(2)(b) failed accordingly.
The Hearing Officer did not give full and separate consideration to the Section 5(4)(a) objection, beyond remarking that he could see no basis on which the opponents would succeed, having failed under Section 5(2)(b).
