Comparison of the marks: CENRAL v CETRAL.
Summary
The opposition was based on the opponents’ mark CENRAL, registered in Class 5.
Having compared the marks, neither of which had any conceptual meaning which might serve to differentiate them, the Hearing Officer concluded that the similarities far outweighed the differences. The goods were identical. On a global assessment the Hearing Officer found a likelihood of confusion and the opposition succeeded accordingly.
