Points Of Interest

Summary

The opposition was based on the opponents’ use of the mark GODDESS 2000 in connection with electrical beauty equipment and various accessory products for use with that equipment (gels, creams etc).

The Hearing Officer concluded that “Given the differences between the terms “Goddess” and “Goddess 2000” and also the differences between the goods of the two parties “he did not accept that misrepresentation would occur. The opposition failed, therefore.
