Background

1.     This matter concerns an opposition by Bumble Holdings Limited (‘Opponent’) under s 52 of the Trade Marks Act 1995 (Cth)[1] to the registration of the following trade mark application (‘Application’) in the name of Aggregated Demand Pty Ltd (‘Applicant’):

[1]  Unless otherwise stated, each reference to a section or regulation is a reference to a section of the Trade Marks Act 1995 (Cth) (‘Act’) or regulation of the Trade Marks Regulations 1995 (Cth) (‘Regulations’), respectively.  

Trade mark number:              2215185

Trade mark:   (‘Trade Mark’)

Filing date:  5 October 2021

3.     On 6 May 2022 the Opponent filed a Notice of Intention to oppose the registration followed by its Statement of Grounds and Particulars on 6 June 2022. The Applicant filed a Notice of Intention to Defend on 18 July 2022.

4. Thereafter the parties filed evidence in accordance with the Regulations. The Opponent filed the following Evidence in Support:

• Declaration of Natasha Hinds-Payne, Head of IP & Brand Protection of Bumble, dated 17 October 2022 with Annexures NHP-1 to NHP-38 (‘Hinds-Payne’).

Davis of Counsel instructed by Media Arts Lawyers. As a delegate of the Registrar of Trade Marks I will decide this matter based on the SGP, evidence and written submissions.

Grounds of Opposition, Relevant Date and Onus

8.     In the SGP the Opponent nominated grounds of opposition under ss 42(b), 43, 44, 58A, 59, 60 and 62A. The Opponent’s written submissions pressed the grounds under ss 44, 60 and 59. Without prejudice to the Opponent’s ability to do so on appeal, the Opponent does not press the other grounds.

9.     The date at which the rights of the parties are to be determined is the filing date 5 October 2021 (‘Relevant Date’) which is also the priority date for the purposes of ss 44 and 60.

10.     The Opponent bears the onus of establishing at least one of the grounds of opposition.[2] The standard of proof is the ordinary civil standard of the balance of probabilities.[3]

Discussion

[3] Telstra Corporation Ltd v Phone Directories Co Pty Ltd [2015] FCAFC 156, [132] (Besanko, Jagot and Edelman JJ).

1. Section 44 relevantly provides:

   44  Identical etc. trade marks

   (1)    Subject to subsections (3) and (4), an application for the registration of a trade mark (applicant's trade mark) in respect of goods (applicant's goods) must be rejected if:

   (a)    the applicant's trade mark is substantially identical with, or deceptively similar to:

   (i)      a trade mark registered by another person in respect of similar goods or closely related services; or

   (ii)     a trade mark whose registration in respect of similar goods or closely related services is being sought by another person; and

   (b)   the priority date for the registration of the applicant's trade mark in respect of the applicant's goods is not earlier than the priority date for the registration of the other trade mark in respect of the similar goods or closely related services.

   (2)  Subject to subsections (3) and (4), an application for the registration of a trade mark (applicant’s trade mark) in respect of services (applicant’s services) must be rejected if:

   (a)  it is substantially identical with, or deceptively similar to:

   (i)  a trade mark registered by another person in respect of similar services or closely related goods; or

   (ii)  a trade mark whose registration in respect of similar services or closely related goods is being sought by another person; and

   (b)  the priority date for the registration of the applicant’s trade mark in respect of the applicant’s services is not earlier than the priority date for the registration of the other trade mark in respect of the similar services or closely related goods.

   […]

   12.     Regulation 4.15A relevantly provides:

   Grounds for rejection--trade mark identical etc to trade mark protected under Madrid Protocol

   (1) For section 189A of the Act, and subject to subregulations (3) and (5), an application for the registration of a trade mark (applicant's trade mark) in respect of goods (applicant's goods) must be rejected if:

   (a) the applicant's trade mark is substantially identical with, or deceptively similar to:

   (i) a protected international trade mark; or

   (ii) a trade mark in respect of which the Registrar has received notification of an IRDA;

   held by another person in respect of similar goods or closely related services; and

   (b) the priority date for the registration of the applicant's trade mark in respect of the applicant's goods is not earlier than the priority date for the other trade mark in respect of the similar goods or closely related services.

   (2) For section 189A of the Act, and subject to subregulations (3) and (5), an application for the registration of a trade mark (applicant’s trade mark) in respect of services (applicant’s services) must be rejected if:

   (a) the applicant’s trade mark is substantially identical with, or deceptively similar to:

   (i) a protected international trade mark; or

   (ii) a trade mark in respect of which the Registrar has received notification of an IRDA;

   held by another person in respect of similar services or closely related goods; and

   (b) the priority date for the registration of the applicant’s trade mark in respect of the applicant’s services is not earlier than the priority date for the other trade mark in respect of the similar services or closely related goods.

   (3) If, in a case mentioned in subregulation (1) or (2), the Registrar is satisfied:

   (a) that there has been honest concurrent use of the 2 trade marks; or

   (b) that, because of other circumstances, it is proper to do so;

   the Registrar may accept the application for the registration of the applicant's trade mark subject to any conditions or limitations that the Registrar thinks fit to impose.

   …

   (5) If, in a case mentioned in subregulation (1) or (2), the Registrar is satisfied that the applicant, or the applicant and the predecessor in title of the applicant, have continuously used the applicant's trade mark for a period:

   (a) beginning before the priority date for the other trade mark in respect of:

   (i) the similar goods or closely related services; or

   (ii) the similar services or closely related goods; and

   (b) ending on the priority date for the registration of the applicant's trade mark;

   the Registrar must not reject the application because of the existence of the other trade mark.

   13.     Before proceeding I note that reg 4.15A and s 44 are essentially identical. The former applies when reliance is placed on a Protected International Trade Mark or international registration designating Australia (‘IRDA’) as the earlier conflicting mark. The latter is relevant when the earlier conflicting mark is a national application or registration. For simplicity, the following discussion will adopt the expression used in s 44 notwithstanding the trade marks relied on by the Opponent are all IRDAs.

   14.     The Opponent relies on the following trade marks which appear in the SGP:[4]

   [4] See Annexure 1 for full details.

No.	Trade Mark	Classes	Status	Priority Date
1882662 (IR number 1371793)	9, 25, 35, 38, 41, 42 and 45	Registered	17 January 2017
1992923 (IR number 1452156)	9, 25, 35, 38, 41 and 45	Registered	26 October 2018
2077994 (IR number 1522306)	3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 36, 38, 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45	Registered	20 December 2019
2169420 (IR number 1585107)	HIVE	41, 42 and 45	Under Examination	16 December 2020

15.     To satisfy the s 44 ground of opposition, the Opponent must establish that the Trade Mark is substantially identical with, or deceptively similar to, another trade mark with an earlier priority date in the name of a person other than the Applicant, and in respect of similar goods or services, or good or services which are closely related to the Applicant’s Goods and Services. 

16.     Each of the Opponent’s trade marks are in the name of a person other than the Applicant and have a priority date that is earlier than the Relevant Date of the Trade Mark.

17.     The next consideration is whether the Opponent’s goods and services are similar, or closely related, to the Applicant’s Goods and Services.

18.     Section 14 provides:

Definition of similar goods and similar services

(1) For the purposes of this Act, goods are similar to other goods:

(a) if they are the same as the other goods; or

(b) if they are of the same description as that of the other goods.

(2) For the purposes of this Act, services are similar to other services:

(a) if they are the same as the other services; or

(b) if they are of the same description as that of the other services.

19.     The determination of whether goods are similar involves the consideration of a number of factors including the nature, use and trade channels of the goods.[5]

[5] Jellinek’s Application (1946) 63 RPC 59 (Romer J);Beck, Koller & Company’s Application (1947) 64 RPC 76.

20.     In Accor Australia & New Zealand Hospitality Pty Ltd v Liv Pty Ltd the Full Court set out the principles to be applied in determining the scope of the phrase ‘services of the same description’:

The starting point in determining the scope of the phrase “services of the same description as that of [the registered services]” in s 120(2)(c) is the statement of principle in Southern Cross Refrigerating Co v Toowoomba Foundry Pty Ltd (1954) 91 CLR 592 at 606 by Dixon CJ, McTiernan, Webb, Fullagar and Taylor JJ (notwithstanding that the question involved consideration of whether goods were goods of the same description), in these terms:

There may be many matters to be considered apart from the inherent character of the goods [or services] in respect of which the application is made and some indication of what matters are relevant to this inquiry was given by Romer J. in In re Jellinek’s Application.  Romer J. thought it necessary to look beyond the nature of the goods [or services] in question and to compare not only their respective uses but also to examine the trade channels through which the commodities in question where bought and sold.  Shortly after the decision in Jellinek’s Case the Assistant‑Comptroller elaborated on the observations Romer J. in the following manner:  “In arriving at a decision upon this issue the reported cases show that I have to take account of a number of factors, including in particular the nature and characteristics of the goods [or services], their origin, their purpose, whether they are usually produced by one and the same manufacturer or distributed by the same wholesale houses, whether they are sold in the same shops over the same counters during the same seasons and to the same class or classes of customers, and whether by those engaged in their manufacture and distribution they are regarded as belonging to the same trade.  In the case of Jellinek’s Application, Romer J. classified these various factors under three heads, viz., the nature of the goods, the uses thereof, and the trade channels through which they are bought and sold.  No single consideration is conclusive in itself, and it has further been emphasised that the classifications contained in the schedules to the Trade Mark Rules are not a decisive criterion as to whether or not two sets of goods are ‘of the same description’”.[6] 

[6] [2017] FCAFC 56, [333] (Greenwood, Besanko and Katzmann JJ) (‘Accor’).

21.     The Full Court went on to describe the principles in the following terms:

As to whether particular impugned services might properly be understood as services of the same description as services for which a trade mark is registered, the features to be considered are likely to include these considerations:

(1)        The inherent character of each of the services for which the trade mark is registered.  That may emerge as a function of language but it is likely to be the subject of evidence:  for example, what does “an hotelier” actually do?  What precisely is involved in providing “property management services”?

(2)        To whom are the services offered?

(3)        How are they provided?

(4)        How are they used?

(5)        What is their purpose?

(6)        Are they bundled together with other services?

(7)        Are they differentiated by the functional level at which they are provided:  wholesale or retail?

(8)         Where do they originate?

(9)         What is the method of their communication to the relevant target audience:  is it predominantly by electronic means, domain names, websites, Twitter, Facebook or other means such as other trade brochures and journals?

(10)        How closely contestable are the services in substance:  are they in the same market or trade?

(11)       How might consumers of the services perceive the services:  see, for example, E & J Gallo Winery v Lion Nathan Australia Pty Ltd (2009) 175 FCR 386, per Moore, Edmonds and Gilmour JJ at [71]‑[73].[7]

[7] Accor ibid [339].

22.     Whether goods are closely related to services (or vice versa) involves different considerations. In the Registrar of Trade Marks v Woolworths, French J made the following observations:

The term “closely related” recognises that goods and services are different things. There will be classes of goods which are similar to each other. There will also be classes of services which are similar to each other. But the word “similar” does not apply as between goods and services. So there must be some other form of relationship between the services covered by one mark and the goods covered by another to enable the goods or services in question to be described as “closely related”… it is a term of wider import than “similar”…[8]

[8] [1999] FCA 1020, [37].

23.     In light of the above authorities, I will now compare the Applicant’s Goods and Services with the goods and services of the Opponent’s trade marks 1822662 (‘662’), 1992923 (‘923’), 2077994 (‘994’) and 2169420 (‘420’).

Trade Mark 662

24.    I am satisfied that the broad claim in 662 for computer software in Class 9 are similar goods to the Applicant’s Goods in Class 9, which are all for computer software. 662 has broad coverage for advertising; business management services; organisation, operation and supervision of loyalty and incentive schemes; business administration services in class 35 which I am satisfied are similar services to the Applicant’s Class 35 services Advertising; Office functions; Business administration; Business management; Business franchising services (group purchasing, group advertising); Business organisation and management of discount services; Online promotion on a computer network; Online advertising on a computer network; Organisation, operation and supervision of an incentive scheme. 622 also covers design and development of computer hardware and software in class 42 which I am satisfied are similar to the Applicant’s Services in class 42. I do not consider any of the remaining goods or services covered by 662 are the similar to the Applicant’s Goods or Services.

Trade mark 923

25.     I am satisfied that the broad claim in 923 for computer software in Class 9 are similar goods to the Applicant’s Goods in Class 9, which are all for computer software. 923 has broad coverage for advertising and promotion services and information services relating thereto provided on-line from a computer database or the Internet; business information; and business advice which are similar services to the Applicant’s class 35 services Advertising; Office functions; Business administration; Business management; Business franchising services (group purchasing, group advertising); Business organisation and management of discount services; Online promotion on a computer network; Online advertising on a computer network Organisation, operation and supervision of an incentive scheme; Discount store services (sales promotion services). I am also satisfied that computer software goods in class 9 covered by 923 are closely related to the Applicant’s design and development software services in class 42. I do not consider any of the remaining goods or services covered by 923 are the similar to the Applicant’s Goods or Services.

Trade mark 994

26.     I am satisfied that the broad claim in 994 for computer software in class 9 are similar goods to the Applicant’s Goods in Class 9, which are all for computer software. 994 has broad coverage in class 35 for Advertising, marketing and promotional services; business advice and consultancy; business management services; business administration services; wholesale and retail services which are similar to the Applicants Services in class 35. I am also satisfied that the broad claims for computer software services and design services in class 42 are similar to the Applicant’s Services in class 42. I do not consider any of the remaining goods or services covered by 994 are the similar to the Applicant’s Goods or Services.

Trade mark 420

27.     I am not satisfied that any of the services covered by 420 are similar to the Applicant’s Goods and Services. The nature of 420’s services in classes 41, 42 and 45 differs and the services are targeted at different consumers via different trade channels.  

28.     I now turn to consider whether any of trade marks 662, 923 and 994 are substantially identical or deceptively similar to the Trade Mark. The following discussion will not consider 420 as I have found that its services are not similar or closely related to the Applicant’s Goods and Services.

Substantially identical and/or deceptively similar

29.     The test for substantial identity requires that the trade marks are considered side by side while having regard to the essential features of the trade marks.[9] Where a total impression of resemblance emerges from the comparison, the trade marks will be considered substantially identical. For the purposes of comparison, I have reproduced the respective trade marks below:

[9] Shell Company of Australia Ltd v Esso Standard Oil (Australia) Ltd [1963] HCA 66, [12] (Windeyer J).

Short Title	Opponent’s trade marks	Trade Mark
662
923
994

30.     On a side by side comparison there are clear differences between the respective trade marks. The 662 consists of six stacked horizontal lines of various lengths, inside a hexagon and surrounded by a rounded corner square. 923 and 924 consist of three stacked horizontal lines inside a hexagon. In comparison the Trade Mark consists of five horizontal lines which are connected by vertical lines, inside a bag device beside a bee, atop the words BUYASHIVE. For these reason, I find that the Trade Mark is not substantially identical to any of 662, 923 and 924. The total impression emerging from a side by side comparison is not one of similarity.

31.     As I have found that the respective trade marks are not substantially identical. The remaining question is whether the Trade Mark is deceptively similar to 662, 923 and 924.

32.     The expression ‘deceptively similar’ is defined by s 10:

10  Definition of deceptively similar

For the purposes of this Act, a trade mark is taken to be deceptively similar to another trade mark if it so nearly resembles that other trade mark that it is likely to deceive or cause confusion.

33.     In the case of Australian Woollen Mills v F. S. Walton and Company Ltd, Dixon and McTiernan JJ provided the relevant test for comparison:

[T]he marks ought not…be compared side by side. An attempt should be made to estimate the effect or impression produced on the mind of potential customers by the mark or device for which the protection of an injunction is sought. The impression or recollection which is carried away and retained is necessarily the basis of any mistaken belief that the challenged mark or device is the same…The usual manner in which ordinary people behave must be the test of what confusion or deception may be expected. Potential buyers of goods are not be credited with any high perception or habitual caution. On the other hand, exceptional carelessness or stupidity may be disregarded.[10]

[10] [1937] HCA 51; (1937) 58 CLR 641, [658].

1. In the recent High Court case of Self Care IP Holdings Pty Ltd v Allergan Australia Pty Ltd, the Court noted the following[11]:

   [11] Self Care IP Holdings Pty Ltd v Allergan Australia Pty Ltd [2023] HCA 8, [33] (Kiefel CJ, Gageler, Gordon, Edelman and Gleeson JJ).

   In considering the likelihood of confusion or deception, "the court is not looking to the totality of the conduct of the defendant in the same way as in a passing off suit"[12]. In addition to the degree of similarity between the marks, the assessment takes account of the effect of that similarity considered in relation to the alleged infringer's actual use of the mark[13], as well as the circumstances of the goods, the character of the likely customers, and the market covered by the monopoly attached to the registered trade mark[14]. Consideration of the context of those surrounding circumstances does not "open the door" for examination of the actual use of the registered mark, or, as will be explained, any consideration of the reputation associated with the mark[15]

   [12] New South Wales Dairy Corporation v Murray-Goulburn Co‑operative Co Ltd [1989] FCA 124; (1989) 86 ALR 549 at 589 (emphasis added), approved in Henschke (2000) 52 IPR 42 at 62 [44], Hashtag Burgers [2020] FCAFC 235; (2020) 385 ALR 514 at 532 [64], Combe International Ltd v Dr August Wolff GmbH & Co KG Arzneimittel [2021] FCAFC 8; (2021) 157 IPR 230 at 238 [27], PDP Capital Pty Ltd v Grasshopper Ventures Pty Ltd (2021) 285 FCR 598 at 622 [97] (see also 626 [111]) and Swancom (2022) 168 IPR 42 at 56 [73].

   [13] Act, s 68.

   [15] Swancom (2022) 168 IPR 42 at 59 [89]. See also Henschke (2000) 52 IPR 42 at 62 [44].

2. As stated above, for the purposes of considering deceptive similarity, the reputation of the Opponent’s trade marks 662, 923 and 924 is not a relevant factor.[16]

   [16] See Swancom Pty Ltd v The Jazz Corner Hotel Pty Ltd [2022] FCAFC 157, [93] (Yates, Abraham and Rofe JJ) and, albeit in the s120(1) context Self Care IP Holdings Pty Ltd v Allergan Australia Pty Ltd [2023] HCA 8, [49] (Kiefel CJ, Gageler, Gordon, Edelman and Gleeson JJ).

   Trade mark 662

   36.     In relation to 662, the Opponent relies on Crazy Ron’s Communications Pty Ltd v Mobileworld Communications Pty Ltd[17](‘Crazy Ron’s’) and submits that the device element of the Trade Mark is prominent and visually dominant. The Opponent submits that the word HIVE in the Trade Mark identifies the device element and reinforces the focus of attention on it, and the overall idea of the Trade Mark as a hive. I am not persuaded by the Opponent’s submissions. The inclusion of the word term BUY AS HIVE in the Trade Mark is a substantial differentiating feature of the Trade Mark which the ordinary consumer would not fail to recall. While the stacked configuration in the respective trade marks may be seen to reference a hive, I agree with the Applicant that conceptually the Trade Mark considered as a whole conveys a trading context with the addition of the hand bag and words and does not convey an overall meaning sufficiently the same as 662. The likelihood of confusion is negated by these visual, oral and conceptual differences between the respective trade marks. While I consider the broad markets for software and hardware goods and services are not particularly sophisticated, the differences in the trade marks are such that consumers would not be caused to wonder whether these goods or services come from a single trade source. The same can be said of the advertising and business services which would be purchased by a variety of consumers with a greater amount of care. For these reasons, I find that the Trade Mark and 662 are not deceptively similar.

   [17] [2004] FCAFC 196 [97] and [98] (Moore, Sackville and Emmett JJ).

   Trade marks 923 and 924

   37.     In relation to 923 and 924, I have considered the Opponent’s submissions and reliance on Crazy Ron’s above. While the stacked configurations in the respective trade marks may be seen to reference a hive, I agree with the Applicant that conceptually the Trade Mark considered as a whole conveys a trading context with the addition of the hand bag device along with the word term BUY AS HIVE and does not convey an overall meaning sufficiently the same as 923 and 924. The likelihood of confusion is negated by these visual, oral and conceptual differences between the respective trade marks. While I consider the broad markets for software, hardware and retail goods and services are not particularly sophisticated, the differences in the trade marks are such that consumers would not be caused to wonder whether these goods or services come from a single trade source. The same can be said of the advertising and business which would be purchased by a variety of consumers with a greater amount of care. For these reasons, I find that the Trade Mark and 923 and 924 are not deceptively similar.

   38.     Therefore, the Opponent has not established the ground of opposition under s 44.

   Section 60

   39.     Section 60 provides:

   60  Trade mark similar to trade mark that has acquired a reputation in Australia

   The registration of a trade mark in respect of particular goods or services may be opposed on the ground that:

   (a)  another trade mark had, before the priority date for the registration of the first‑mentioned trade mark in respect of those goods or services, acquired a reputation in Australia; and

   (b)  because of the reputation of that other trade mark, the use of the first‑mentioned trade mark would be likely to deceive or cause confusion.

   40.     In the SGP the Opponent particularises the s 60 ground of opposition as follows:

   Registration should be refused under section 60 of the Act.

   The Opponent has invested heavily in promoting its BUMBLE Trade Marks, which […] include trade marks featuring the word HIVE and trade marks featuring horizontal lines or belts of solid colouring in a stacked configuration in which all belts share identical (or close to) height dimensions, in relation to the Opponent’s BUMBLE Goods and Services and has achieved considerable commercial success in Australia before, leading up to and beyond the Priority Date.

   By virtue of its use and promotion of the BUMBLE Trade Marks in relation to the BUMBLE Goods and Services:

   (a) the Opponent has, and has acquired before the Priority Date, a reputation in Australia in its BUMBLE Trade Marks in respect of the BUMBLE Goods and Services; and

   (b) the BUMBLE Trade Marks have become distinctively and exclusively associated with the Opponent and the BUMBLE Goods and Services.

   As a result, the BUMBLE Trade Marks are, and were before the Priority Date, well and favourably known among members of the public throughout Australia as indicating the Opponent exclusively as the source of the BUMBLE Goods and Services (which encompasses the Opposed Goods and Services).

   In light of the Opponent’s reputation identified above, and the substantial identity and/or similarity between the respective marks and the overlapping or highly similar goods set out above in respect of section 44, the Opponent submits that any use of the Opposed Trade Mark in respect of the Opposed Goods and Services would be likely to cause confusion.

   41. To satisfy s 60 the Opponent must establish that the trade marks upon which it relies had a reputation in Australia at the priority date of the Trade Mark. The Opponent must then establish that because of that reputation, use of the Trade Mark would be likely to deceive or cause confusion.

   42.     In McCormick & Co Inc v McCormick, Kenny J asked what is intended by the word ‘reputation’ in s 60. Her Honour consulted the Macquarie Dictionary and on the basis of the definition provided concluded that it was ‘the recognition of the [trade mark] by the public generally’12F9F[18] and quoted with approval the following words of Lockhart J in Re ConAgra Inc v McCain Foods (Aust) Pty Ltd:

   [18] [2000] FCA 1335, [81].

   [R]eputation within the jurisdiction may be proved by a variety of means including advertisements on television, or radio or in magazines and newspapers within the forum. It may be established by showing constant travel of people between other countries and the forum, and that people within the forum (whether residents there or persons simply visiting there from other countries) are exposed to the goods of the overseas owner…[19]

   [19] [1992] FCA 159, [118].

   43.     Justice Kenny also referred to the Hugo Boss decision, where the Registrar’s delegate observed:

   [I]t is true that the assessment of the reputation of a trade mark goes far beyond mere examination of sale or turnover of goods sold under the trade mark and contemplation of the advertising and promotional figures.

   As regards a trade mark, its reputation derives both from the quantum of sales under that mark and also its esteem, or image, projected by that trade mark. The quantum sale, advertising and promotion contributes to the ‘recognition’ component of the trade mark’s reputation. The credit, image and values projected by a trade mark attaches to the ‘esteem’ component of the reputation as do the public events and other trader’s marks with which [the] owner of the trade marks in question chooses to associate the trade marks via sponsorship, cross-promotions, ‘contra deals’ and so forth.

   It follows that a trade mark used in relation to goods with comparatively low sales may have a high and strong reputation by virtue of the high credit or esteem in which it is held, or, conversely, that a trade mark which has very high sale may have a strong reputation notwithstanding the lack of esteem that attaches to it. The particular popular images, or sets of values, that attach to the trade mark are also, therefore, important parts of the reputation of the trade mark and may be as strong an association of the trade marks with the goods or services themselves.14F11F[20]

   [20] Hugo Boss AG v Jackson International Trading Co Kurt D Bruhl Gesellschaft MbH & Co KG (1999) 47 IPR 423, 436.

   44.     What constitutes a significant or substantial number of persons in the relevant market must be considered. Justice Heerey in Le Cordon Bleu BV v Cordon Bleu International Ltee provided some guidance:

   What is “significant” or “substantial” will depend on the nature of the goods or services in question. For some highly specialised products, awareness among a few thousand persons, or even less, might be sufficient.F12F[21]

   [21] [2000] FCA 1587, [91], (albeit in relation to paragraph 28(a) of the now superseded Trade Marks Act 1955 (Cth)), (emphasis in original).

   45.     The Opponent relies on its reputation in its word trade marks HIVE and BUMBLE HIVE, and the following figurative trade marks:

   the “Bumble Mark”

   the “Honeycomb Mark”   

   the “Stacked Mark”

   46. Noting that each trade mark is separate when considering the operation of s 60 and it is appropriate to consider the use to which they have been put.

   47.     Ms Hinds-Payne states that the Opponent launched its Bumble platform, an online dating application (‘Bumble App’), worldwide and in Australia in 2014. In 2016, the Opponent launched Bumble BFF, which allowed Bumble App users make platonic friendships. Then in 2017, the Opponent launched Bumble Bizz which is designed to help users of the Bumble App match with potential business contacts.[22]

   48.     Exhibit NHP-14 to Hinds-Payne comprises of a screenshot from the Internet Archive Service Wayback Machine, for Appfigures.com which ranks the Top iOS App Store Apps dated 17 January 2021. The Bumble App featuring the Stacked Mark was ranked at number 7 among the highest grossing apps in the Australian market.

   49.     Ms Hinds-Panes states that in 2020 the Opponent commanded 30.9% of the global dating application users. Exhibit NHP-2 to Hinds-Payne comprises an article entitled Bumble Revenue and Usage Statistics (2020). The article states that in 2020 the Opponent had 100 million users worldwide and was valued at US$8 billion, and it generated US$240 million in revenue in 2019.  Exhibit NHP-10 to Hinds-Payne comprises an article appearing on the website manofmany.com dated January 2019. The article states that in 2019 the Opponent had two million registrations in Australia. 

   50. Exhibit HNP-6 to Hinds-Payne comprises the Opponent’s global marketing expenditure for the years 2019 to 2021. The Opponent’s marketing campaigns in Australia include an Australia wide billboard campaign for the Bumble App featuring the Bumble Mark dated 2018,[23] and its Out of Home campaign for its dating software featuring the Bumble Mark dated 2020.[24]

   [26] Hinds-Payne (35), [Exhibit NHP-27].

   53.     The Opponent partners with other Australian businesses and brands including as part of its Breakfast on Bumble pop-up events, with its Melbourne event at Bistro Morgan in April 2021 featuring the Stacked and Bumble Marks.[27]

   [27] Hinds-Payne (36), [Exhibit NHP-30].

   54.     The Opponent maintains the website bumble.com which in 2016 displayed the Honeycomb and Bumble Marks.[28] The Opponent also maintains social media accounts, including Instagram, Facebook, X formerly Twitter and TikTok.[29] The Opponent’s Instagram accounts include a handle specific to Australia, and as of July 2020 it had 24,200 followers, and issued 845 posts featuring the Stacked and Bumble Marks.[30]

   55.     Prior to the Relevant Date the Opponent promoted and sold a range of goods via the online retail store at Exhibit NHP-19 to Hinds-Payne comprises of a screenshot from the Internet Archiving Services Wayback Machine of the beetique website dated 20 July 2016. The screenshot features use of the Opponent’s Honeycomb and Bumble Marks on or in relation a range of goods including clothing, eyewear, drink holders, jewellery, and headgear.

   56.     In my assessment of the Opponent’s evidence, there was significant consumer adoption and usage of the Bumble App in Australia by the Relevant Date. The Opponent’s significant global revenue and growth are impressive, with its Bumble App featuring the Stacked Mark ranked as the seventh highest grossing application in the Australian market in 2021. The Opponent’s evidence of promotional activities provides a demonstration of how its Bumble, Honeycomb and Stacked Marks have a in a short time being introduced and gained recognition in the Australian market in relation to computer software and mobile software, internet-based dating platforms and services, social networking platforms and services and business networking at the Relevant Date.

   57.     I am not satisfied that the Opponent’s HIVE and BUMBLE HIVE trade marks have the reputation claimed by the Opponent for its goods and services. The promotion of these trade marks in Australia is limited to events in 2018 and 2019. In my view, the Opponent has not established as a matter of fact, that its goods and services bearing its HIVE and BUMBLE HIVE trade marks were recognised in Australia at the Relevant Date by a significant or substantial number of potential consumers.

   58.     I note that the Opponent submits that its reputation extends to retail, advertising, promotional and computer software and hardware design services. However, I am not satisfied that such reputation extends to retail services as there is no evidence that the beetique website was directed to Australian consumers or that there were any sales to Australian customers, nor that its advertising, promotion and computer software and hardware design services, were provided to others in the Australia market.

   59.   It is not sufficient that the Opponent merely establishes that its Bumble, Honeycomb and Stacked Marks have a reputation. The Registrar must also be satisfied that because of that reputation the use of the Trade Mark would be likely to deceive or cause confusion. This is linked to how similar the respective trade marks are. In Rogers Seller & Myhill Pty Ltd v Reece Pty Ltd, Delegate Lyons said:

   Confusion cannot arise solely from the reputation of one trade mark. There must always remain a level of similarity between the marks, whether we call it deceptive similarity or something less, and no matter how small it might be. The likelihood of confusion must depend on the reputation of the opponent’s trade mark, but have regard (amongst other factors) to the level of similarity of the goods/services and the degree of similarity of the trade marks, greater or smaller.

   What can be said then of section 60 as we now find it is that it comprehends that the trade marks under comparison might be quite dissimilar, and yet, taken in combination with the repute of the opponent’s trade mark (and possibly other factors), deception or confusion is still more likely than not. Put another way, section 60 now contemplates that an opponent may prevail because of the reputation in the mark on which it relies notwithstanding that the trade marks under comparison may even be quite dissimilar.[31]

   [31] [2010] ATMO 5, [39] to [40].

   60.     In this case, even though I have found that the Opponent’s Bumble, Honeycomb and Stacked Marks have a reputation in Australia, I do not find that by reason of that reputation, any use of the Trade Mark would be likely to deceive or cause confusion. While the respective trade marks have a small degree of similarity in that they all include a figurative hive device, the elements of the Trade Mark including the words BUYASHIVE effectively distinguish the Trade Mark as a whole from the trade marks in which the Opponent has a reputation, namely the Bumble, Honeycomb and Stacked Marks.

   61. The Opponent has not established the ground of opposition under s 60.

   Section 59

   62.     Section 59 provides:

   59  Applicant not intending to use trade mark

   The registration of a trade mark may be opposed on the ground that the applicant does not intend:

   (a)  to use, or authorise the use of, the trade mark in Australia; or

   (b)  to assign the trade mark to a body corporate for use by the body corporate in Australia;

   in relation to the goods and/or services specified in the application.

   63.     In the SGP the Opponent particularises the s 59 ground of opposition as follows:

   Registration should be refused under section 59 of the Act.

   When the opponent makes out a prima facie case of lack of intention to use the mark, the evidentiary onus shifts to the applicant. A prima facie case can be made out based on “slight evidence”. Indeed, for the purposes of an SGP, the particularisation of this ground must necessarily be based on inferences and presumption.

   Under section 59, it is the applicant who is best placed to know its own business and show evidence of intent when it is properly challenged. Where the applicant has been put on notice that a lack of intention to use is an issue in the proceeding and chooses not to file evidence, it is open to draw an inference against the applicant as to a lack of intention to use.

   As at the Priority Date, based on desk research, the current Applicant was not using the Opposed Trade Mark in respect of any or all of the Opposed Goods and Services in Australia.

   That research took in general searches for “BUYASHIVE”, “BUY AS HIVE” and  together with the name of the Applicant, which did not raise any use of the Opposed Trade Mark in Australia by the Applicant themselves in respect of all of the Opposed Goods and Services.

   The circumstances referred to above rebut any prima facie presumption that the initial Applicant or the current Applicant relevantly intended to use the Opposed Trade Mark in Australia (now or as at the Priority Date) in respect of all of the Opposed Goods and Services and support an adverse inference as to the Applicant’s intention to use the Opposed Trade Mark.

   Bearing in mind the above (which will be further substantiated in the evidence) the overall circumstances are more than sufficient to shift the onus to the Applicant to satisfy the Registrar of its bona fides by proving that the initial Applicant and the current Applicant relevantly held at the Priority Date a sufficiently definite intention to use the Opposed Trade Mark as a trade mark in relation to all of the Opposed Goods and Services.

1. Applying for the registration of a trade mark carries a presumption that the Applicant intends to use the trade mark.[32] The onus is on the Opponent to displace this presumption by making out a prima facie case that the Applicant lacked the requisite intention at the Relevant Date. ^[33] If the Opponent makes out a prima facie case, the evidentiary onus shifts to the Applicant to show its intention to use the Trade Mark at the Relevant Date.[34]

   [32]  Suyen Corp v Americana International Ltd [2010] FCA 638, [197] (Dodds-Streeton J).

   [33] Aston v Harlee Manufacturing Co [1960] HCA 47 (Fullagar J).

   [34] Suyen Corp v Americana International Ltd (n 18), [190].

2. In Health World Ltd v Shin-Sun Australia Pty Ltd, Jacobson J considered the nature of the intention in s 59:

   In my view, the intention, or lack thereof, to which s 59 is directed, is a ‘real and definite intention’ of the applicant for registration, to use the mark publicly as a trade mark, although it is not necessary that the intention be immediate or within a limited time.[35]

   [35] (2008) 75 IPR 478, 497 [160].

3. Justice Jacobson also recognised the difficulty that an opponent has in establishing a ground under s 59, stating in the same case:

   The subjective nature of the intention, the presumption of intention flowing from the application for registration and the onus on an opponent usually make it difficult for an opposition or an application for rectification, to succeed on this ground.[36]

   [36] Ibid [161] (citations omitted).

   67. In the present matter the Opponent submits that its SGP put the Applicant on notice that s 59 was to be raised in these proceedings.[37] Exhibits JH-2 and JH-3 to Hall comprise screenshots of searches of Google and Google Play Store which were conducted on 8 September 2022. The searches covered terms such as Aggregated Demand Pty Ltd, BUYASHIVE and BUY AS HIVE. The results of these searches were put to the Applicant in a letter from Kind & Wood Mallesons dated 14 September 2022.[38] The letter states the following:

   [37] See (2008) 75 IPR 478, 497 [162].

   [38] Hall (14), [Exhibit JH-4].

   Our client’s view that there is no relevant intended use of the BUYASHIVE & Device mark by your client. This is reinforced by the fact that any such use in Australia of the BUYASHIVE & Device mark in respect of the Goods and Services would cause confusion (under s44 and/or s120 of the TMA, as the case may be) as against our client’s earlier pending and registered rights for, and use of, its Earlier Pending and Registered BUMBLE Trade Marks (as defined in the SGP) and as against our client’s reputation in those marks (under the s60 of the TMA). Notably, these include the word marks HIVE and BUMBLE HIVE and the logos below:

   For example, the specification of Goods and Services covers (via its broad claims) apps for the purposes of social networking which comprise Bumble’s core goods, and there would plainly be a likelihood of confusion if your client used the BUYASHIVE & Device mark on such goods.

   In light of the above, Bumble considers it very unlikely that your client relevantly intended to use or authorise the use of the BUYASHIVE & Device mark at the date of filing (namely, 5 October 2021).

   Pending a substantive response on behalf of your client outlining the goods and services in respect of which it uses or intends to use the applied-for mark, we will introduce this letter into evidence in the Opposition in support of the ground under section 59 of the TMA.

   68.     The Opponent states that the Applicant by way of its evidence in answer confirms in positive terms that the intended use is in respect of a narrow part of the specification being the organisation, operation and supervision of an incentive scheme in class 35. Moreover, the Opponent states that at the Relevant Date the Applicant did not have an intention to use the Trade Mark in relation to goods in class 9, the services in class 42 and part of the class 35 specification.

   69.     In Sutherland, Mr Sutherland states that the Applicant has a clear intention to use the Trade Mark for all of the Applicant’s Goods and Services. Moreover, the Applicant is in the first stage of operations to launch an e-commerce platform in Australia and internationally under the Trade Mark. In support of these statements Confidential Exhibit CS-4 to Sutherland comprises the Applicant’s legal briefing which provides an overview of the Applicant’s business model and strategy dated July 2021. Confidential Exhibit CS-5 to Sutherland comprises the Applicant’s website design brief dated July 2021.  

   70.     Mr Sutherland states that the Applicant’s website will be accessed at and which domain names were registered on 13 July 2021.[39]

   [39] Sutherland (7), [Exhibit CS-2].

   71.     Mr Sutherland states that the Applicant was registered with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission on 29 September 2021.[40]

   [40] Sutherland (3), [Exhibit CS-1].

   72.     While the Applicant admits that at the Relevant Date it had not used the Trade Mark, Mr Sutherland deposes that the Opposition disrupted the Applicant’s plan to launch in Australia, given the time and investment required in Opposition proceedings and the risk of having to rework its website design.

   73.     In this matter I am to consider whether the Opponent has satisfied its burden of establishing a prima facie case of lack of intention to use by the Applicant.

   74. The Opponent’s evidence shows that it put the Applicant on notice that it was pursing a ground of opposition under s 59 and that there had been no use of the Trade Mark at the Relevant Date nor eleven months after in September 2022. However, the evidence does not show that the Applicant would be incapable of providing the Applicant’s Goods and Services or incapable of using the Trade Mark across the scope of the Applicant’s Goods and Services.

   75.     Further, in Paintmaster Products v Lewis Berger & Sons,[41] the Registrar observed that an applicant might properly elect to delay use pending the outcome of the application for registration. In this case the Applicant deposed that these proceedings have disrupted its development and launch timeline in Australia. Moreover, prior to the Relevant Date the Applicant had obtained the registration of domain names and prepared business briefs which contained detailed plans for the business direction to lawyers and website designers.

   [41]  (1955) 25 AOJP 1915.

   76.     In relation to the scope of the Applicant’s Goods and/or Services being beyond anything that could even be said to have been the subject of an intention to use, I note that upon a perceived market demand, the Applicant is involved in a start-up venture capitalising business developing a viable product, service and platform which will require a stable of goods and services. In view of the nature of the Applicant’s business and without evidence to the contrary I am satisfied that the Applicant’s approach to the specified goods and services at the Relevant Date was aligned with a genuine intention and not speculative.[42]

   [42]  Goodman Fielder Pte Ltd v Conga Foods Pty Ltd [2020] FCA 1808, [152] (Burley J).

   77.     I am not satisfied the Opponent has provided sufficient cogent evidence to establish a prima facie case that the Applicant lacked the requisite intention at the Relevant Date. As such there is no shift of the evidentiary onus to the Applicant.

   78. The Opponent has not established a ground of opposition under s 59.

   Decision

   79.     Section 55 provides:

   55  Decision

   (1)  Unless subsection (3) applies to the proceedings, the Registrar must, at the end, decide:

   (a)  to refuse to register the trade mark; or

   (b)  to register the trade mark (with or without conditions or limitations) in respect of the goods and/or services then specified in the application;

   having regard to the extent (if any) to which any ground on which the application was opposed has been established.

   80.     The Opponent has not established a ground of opposition. Accordingly, I decide that trade mark number 2215185 may proceed to registration one month from the date of this decision. If the Registrar is served with a notice of appeal, I direct that the disposition of the Application should be in accordance with the Court’s order or direction.

   Costs

   81. Both parties sought an award of costs. It is usual for costs to follow the event, and I see no reason to depart from that principle here. I award costs against the Opponent under s 221 in line with Schedule 8 of the Regulations.
