IP Kat ☛ 2024-09-26 [Older] [Guest post] Xactware Solutions Inc. vs. Buildxact Software Ltd: Four Appeals and a Recusal
The opposition was initially heard by Hearing Officer Mr. Bryant, who rejected the opposition. This decision was appealed, and the first appeal was heard by Mr. Philip Johnson. Mr. Johnson rejected most of the grounds of appeal, but did agree that Mr. Bryant had made an error. Specifically, he found that the Hearing Officer had mistakenly believed the Opponent was only relying on the XACTIMATE mark in relation to its objection under Section 5(3) of the Trade Marks Act 1994 which relates to issues of reputation, and not for its objection under Section 5(2)(b) which concerns issues of confusion.
