Summary

[This was one of three closely related oppositions involving the same parties and heard on the same day - see BL O/195/01 and BL O/197/01.] The reasoning and outcome in this case was applied, mutatis mutandis, in BL O/195/01, although the marks differ to some extent [the geographical element was much stronger in this case].
