Comparison of the marks, ARIEL v ARION.
Summary
The opposition was based on the opponents’ mark ARIEL, registered in respect of goods which the Hearing Officer found to be identical with or similar to those specified in the application. There was also a ‘moderate degree of similarity’ in the marks. However, overall the Hearing Officer did not find a likelihood of confusion and the opposition failed accordingly.
