Abstract
The applicant sought to register the figurative mark for services in Classes 35, 40, 41 and 42. An opposition was based on an earlier figurative mark registered for goods in Classes 7 and 11 and filed on the ground that there was a likelihood of confusion including likelihood of association on a part of the relevant public. The Opposition Division partly upheld the opposition and partly rejected the application for services in Class 42. The Opposition Division found services in Classes 35, 40 and 41 dissimilar. The Appeal Body agreed with the findings of the Opposition Division, dismissed the appeal and confirmed the decision.

Key words:
likelihood of confusion – article 7(a)(2) Act No 506/2009 Coll. on trade marks, dissimilarity of the goods and services, one of cumulative conditions has not been fulfilled, opposition partly upheld, application partly rejected, appeal dismissed
