Summary

The opposition succeeded under Sections 3(1)(b) and (c), the Hearing Officer's reasoning following that set forth in respect of another opposition to the same application (SRIS O/143/00), though based on evidence of a different deponent. Opposition failed on all other grounds, again for the reasons as set forth in O/143/00, except that Section 3(6) was only pleaded in this case and the opponent failed to establish that the applicant was knowingly trying to deny others use of a sign which they were legitimately entitled to use.
