Summary
The mark applied for was registered in the Benelux. The opposition was based on a large number of ‘T’ marks in the ownership of the opponents. Despite identicality in many of the goods and services the Hearing Officer found no likelihood of confusion, because of the differences in the marks. The opposition failed accordingly.
