Points Of Interest
Summary
The opponents based their case on their use of the mark WATCHES OF SWITZERLAND. The Hearing Officer however felt that WATCHES OF SWITZERLAND was such an obvious description of the goods that the could not see how another such description SWISS WATCH COMPANY, could be a misrepresentation or cause damage. The opposition under Section 5(4)(a) failed.
