Summary
The opposition was based on the opponents' mark COMPLAN. Under Section 5(2)(b) the Hearing Officer did not find the marks confusable and that ground failed accordingly. This effectively decided the matter under Sections 5(3) and 5(4)(.a) also. The Section 3(6) objection was not supported by any evidence.
