Points Of Interest
Summary
The applicants contended that the registered proprietor had made their application for registration in bad faith, in that they were aware of the applicants use of the mark abroad and pre-empted an application for registration in the UK. Also they contended that they had no bona fide intention to use the mark. The Hearing Officer found that whilst the accusation of an absence of a bona fide intention to use failed there had been "unacceptable commercial behaviour" in relation to the application for registration in respect of rice and similar goods".
