Pitman-Moore Australia Limited v Australian Feed Company Pty Ltd

Pitman-Moore Australia Limited (the applicant) sought to adduce further evidence before the Registrar of Trade Marks in opposition proceedings brought by Australian Feed Company Pty Ltd (the opponent). The dispute concerned the registration of a trade mark.

The primary legal issue before the court was the principles governing the grant of leave to adduce further evidence in trade mark opposition proceedings before the Registrar.

The court indicated that the principles for granting leave to adduce further evidence were well-established. While the specific principles were not detailed in the provided text, the court acknowledged their existence and the need to apply them in determining whether to permit the introduction of new evidence.
