Summary
The opposition was based on the Community Trade Mark ‘iWear’ registered in Classes 5 & 9, in respect of goods which the Hearing Officer found to be identical or highly similar.
A comparison of the marks and a global assessment persuaded the Hearing Officer that there was a likelihood of confusion and the opposition succeeded accordingly.
