Points Of Interest

Summary

The opposition was based on the opponents’ mark CONCHANGO, registered in Classes 9, 35, 38, 41 & 42.

Overall, the Hearing Officer found the mark to be similar “to a reasonable degree”.

The services also were “reasonably similar”.

Both marks were highly distinctive.

These findings led the Hearing Officer to the conclusion that there was a likelihood of confusion and the opposition under Section 5(2)(b) succeeded accordingly.

The opponents could be in no better a position in relation to Section 5(4)(a) and the Hearing Officer therefore made no formal finding under that head.
