NEXT are No Angels
15 Mar
Next Retail Limited applied to register the mark ANGEL for clothing, footwear and headgear in the UK. Major League Baseball Properties opposed this application on the basis that they had a registration for this mark:
Next argued that the marks were not similar, but the UKIPO found that they were, and ordered that the application be refused. Another example of an occasion where clearance searches might have prevented an applicant wasting their time with an application!
