Summary
The opposition was brought on the basis of the identical mark AMAZON, an international registration protected in respect of goods in class 28. The application in suit had been advertised on the basis of honest concurrent use. However, since the marks and goods specified were identical, the application could not proceed in the face of the opposition; the applicant having filed no evidence.
