  • Trade Marks Opposition Decision (O/252/99)
    TRADE MARKS ACT 1994 IN THE MATTER OF An Application by Kemco America Limited to register the trade mark TOP GEAR in Class 9 AND IN THE MATTER OF Opposition thereto by the British Broadcasting Corporation 1. On 4 November 1993, Kemco America Inc. applied under Section 17 of the Trade Marks Act 1938 for the registration of the trade mark TOP GEAR in respect of:- Video game computer programmes; video game chip cartridges; all relating to or depicting vehicles; all included in Class 9. 2. On 5 September 1996, the British Broadcasting Corporation filed Notice of Opposition. The grounds of opposition are, in summary, as follows;- I) The BBC has regularly broadcast a television programme under the name TOP GEAR in the field of motoring since 1977. The mark TOP GEAR has therefore become a household name closely associated with the BBC in the minds of the public. Further, it is the practice of entertainment organisations to make and sell or licence others to make and sell goods relating to their entertainments with the result that use of the mark applied for by the applicant would be likely to cause confusion and deception. The application should therefore be refused under Section 11 of the Trade Marks Act 1938. ii) The opponent is the proprietor of two United Kingdom trade mark 1 registrations consisting of the words TOP GEAR for goods in Class 16 and services in Class 41. The goods covered by the application in suit are of the same description as, or are associated with, the goods and services for which the BBC’s marks are registered and there is a likelihood of confusion and deception arising from the applicant’s proposed use of its mark.
