NEXT WEEK'S FORTHCOMING ATTRACTION

-

Next Tuesday the Court of First Instance of the European Communities (CFI) gives judgment in Case T-57/03 SPAG v OHIM - Dann and Becker. This is the appeal arising from an opposition filed by the owners of the Spanish OLLY GAN trade mark against the OHIM Board of Appeal's decision to reverse the ruling of the Opposition Division and to state with confidence and with clarity that there was no likelihood of confusion between OLLY GAN and the applicant's HOOLIGAN trade mark, even if both are used for clothes.


OLLY GAN: not so much a hooligan as a nuisance?

The IPKat was astonished that the Opposition Division considered confusion likely, so he bets the CFI will uphold the Board of Appeal decision. Check this blog next week to find out if he's right.

    Advertising can be a big problem otherwise. A lot of companies reserve a big chunk of their budgets to cover marketing expenditures.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
