  • The Willow Tea Rooms Trust
    O-032-17 TRADE MARKS ACT 1994 IN THE MATTER OF APPLICATION 3105102 BY THE WILLOW TEA ROOMS TRUST FOR THE TRADE MARK THE WILLOW TEA ROOMS AND THE OPPOSITION THERETO UNDER NUMBER 405148 BY ANNE MULHERN Background 1. The Willow Tea Rooms Trust (“the applicant”) applied for the trade mark THE WILLOW TEA ROOMS on 22 April 2015 in classes 35, 41, 42 and 43. 2. The application was accepted and published in the Trade Marks Journal for opposition purposes on 26 June 2015. Anne Mulhern opposes the trade mark application under sections 5(2)(b), 5(3) and 5(4)(a) of the Trade Marks Act (“the Act”). For sections 5(2)(b) and 5(3), Ms Mulhern relies upon two earlier trade mark registrations which she owns, as follows: (i) 1276805 (series of 2 marks) Class 42: Restaurant, tea room, catering and cafe services; all included in Class 42; but not including any of the aforesaid services relating to the provision of alcoholic drinks. Filing date: 1 October 1986; date registration procedure completed: 12 July 1991 (ii) 2251332A (series of 8 marks): Page 2 of 73 Goods and services in classes 9, 11, 16, 20, 21, 24, 30 and 43. Filing date: 3 November 2000; date registration procedure completed: 8 March 2002. 3. Ms Mulhern’s claim under section 5(2)(b) is that there exists a likelihood of confusion owing to the similarities/identity between the marks and the goods/services. Under section 5(3) of the Act, Ms Mulhern claims that the earlier marks have a reputation in certain goods and services such that use of the application without due cause would take unfair advantage of, or be detrimental to, the distinctive character or the repute of the earlier marks.
