Summary
The opponents based their opposition on their registration of the mark HELIOS in Class 34. [The applicants had formerly owned a registration of HELIOS CAPOTE and device - but this had been revoked prior to the registration of the opponents’ mark]. The Hearing Officer found the marks to be identical and the goods identical (in some cases) and similar (in the remainder).
