McDonalds Corporation v David Bellamy

McDonalds Corporation (the applicant) sought to register trade mark application 859586. David Bellamy (the opponent) opposed this application. The decision was made by Ian Thompson.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the opponent had established grounds for opposition under section 60 of the relevant Act. This section pertains to the registration of trade marks.

The court found that the opponent had successfully established its opposition under section 60 of the Act. Consequently, the court refused to register the trade mark application. The court also ordered that the applicant pay the opponent's costs on the official scale.
