Points Of Interest
Summary
The registration applied for was in respect of "Scotch Whisky, vodka, gin, spirits". In view of the mark's Scottish connotations the opponents sought either:- refusal in respect of 'spirits'; refusal in respect of 'whisky and alcoholic beverages containing whisky, unless Scotch Whisky or Scotch Whisky Liqueurs'; or total refusal. The Hearing Officer reviewed the matter in the light of the evidence and current Registry practice and ruled that the application be refused unless suitably amended.
