Head Technology GmbH v Uloc Pty Ltd

In this matter before the Registrar of Trade Marks, Head Technology GmbH sought to register its trade mark, while Uloc Pty Ltd opposed the application. The core of the dispute concerned whether the trade mark should be registered.

The Registrar was required to determine whether any grounds of opposition raised by Uloc Pty Ltd had been established to the extent that they warranted a refusal of Head Technology GmbH's trade mark application. This involved assessing the evidence presented in relation to the opposition.

Applying subsection 55(1) of the Act, the Registrar considered the grounds of opposition. Having found that no grounds of opposition were established to the requisite extent, the Registrar decided to register the trade mark. The Registrar directed that the application proceed to registration for all specified goods one month after the date of the decision, unless a Court ordered otherwise.
