Points Of Interest
-
An example of minimal use not constituting ‘genuine’ use.
Summary
The proprietors evidence of use related to three invoices, all to one company, and totalling less than £300. No figures of total sales were given and no details of promotional activity either. The Hearing Officer did not accept that such a minimal level of sales constituted genuine use. The application for revocation succeeded accordingly.
