Trade mark decision

BL Number
O/173/02
Decision date
19 April 2002
Hearing officer
Mr J MacGillivray
Mark
CD CARD
Classes
16
Registered Proprietor
Tabak Marketing Limited
Applicants for Revocation & Declaration of Invalidity
VFM Children's Entertainment Limited
Revocation & application for Invalidation
Sections 46(1)(c); 47(1) (Sections 3(1)(b), 3(1)(c); 3(1)(d) & 3(6))

Result

Application for invalidation Section 47(1) successful. Application for revocation, no formal finding.

Points Of Interest

  • Whilst Section 72 places the onus on the applicants for invalidation, the Registrar’s tribunal may nevertheless proceed by way of a re-hearing on the basis on which the mark was accepted, using (the Hearing Officer’s) own knowledge and experience.

Summary

This was one of two related actions against the registration (see also BL O/173/02). Under Sections 3(1)(b) and 3(1)(c) the Hearing Officer reached the same findings as in BL O/172/02, q.v. He made no formal findings under any of the other grounds cited.
