Summary
This was an appeal to the Appointed Person against the Hearing Officer’s decision (see O/128/99). The appellants’ case in particular was that on first impression the marks at issue were confusingly similar and the Hearing Officer should have so found. The Appointed Person, however, could discern no error in the Hearing Officer’s approach, and he had not come to the wrong conclusion, he said.
