Summary
The opposition was based on registrations of a ‘tick’ device, registered in Class 25 (inter alia). The goods were identical; the matter therefore turned on a comparison of the marks. In the result, the Hearing Officer found no likelihood of confusion. The differences between the marks (one comprising two parallel lines of stitching in the form of a tick, the other a solid black line in the form of a tick) decided the matter.
