They are both examples of a well-known word mark being used on a device mark which has independant distinctive character, and which is evidenced in similar ways: the Specsaver elipses can be recognized on a store sign at a distance from which the word mark cannot be read, just as the Levi’s tab is recognized on jeans at a distance from which the Levi’s word mark cannot be seen. I wonder, though, whether Specsavers would have fared better had they registered their elipse mark in green? TimBTimBnoreply@blogger.com
