-
"Restaurant and particularly bar service are an integral part of night club and discotheque services, they are not merely ancillary to these services, - the public would make a connection between the two".

The opposition was based on a prior Community Trade Mark registration of POLO Lounge and objection was taken in respect of some of the services specified in the application. The Hearing Officer found a likelihood of confusion and directed that the applicants’ specification be reduced accordingly.
