Opponent’s evidence
10. Sullivan attests that he is a speaker, author and business leader who has been working with individuals, families and businesses for over 30 years, with ‘a large reputation’ as a leading mentor.
11. The Opponent was incorporated in 2004. According to Sullivan, the Opponent has been trading as 1 LIFE (‘Opponent’s Mark’) and used the Opponent’s Mark since 2008 when the Opponent published it’s 1 Life Do It Now Journal (‘Opponent’s Journal’) that promotes a healthy lifestyle to its Lifetime Success Club members for personal and business improvement. The Opponent’s Journal was reprinted in 2009, 2012, 2016 and 2021 with 19,000 copies sold.
12. Since 2012, the Opponent has produced its Lifetime Success Club 1 Life Do It Now! Magazine (‘Magazine’) with 24,000 copies printed. Sullivan claims that this magazine is now provided online in higher volumes. In 2014, the Opponent launched a 1 Life Card for members initially creating 18,000 cards with further orders subsequently placed.
13. As well as the Magazine, Sullivan claims that the Opponent has continuously promoted its business under the Opponent’s Mark:
· on the websites at (‘Sullivan Website’) and until 2017 on after which time that domain was redirected to the Sullivan Website;
· at its Facebook account BruceSullivan.YourBestYou since October 2015 and on Instagram at 1lifedoitnow then 1life_doitnow;
· at exhibitions and trade shows;
· at its I Life Loving Life conferences in 2014, 2016 and 2017;
· on a company vehicle and business materials such as business cards, email, letterhead and signage;
· uniforms and merchandise such as t-shirts, singlets and watches (‘Merchandise’).
14. Since September 2023, the Opponent’s Merchandise has been available for sale to the general public together with other products including bags, performance wear, water bottles, towels, picnic sets, flying discs, pedometers and gazebos, all bearing the logo (‘Opponent’s Logo’).
15. The Opponent has approximately 20,000 clients in Australia and internationally on its database. Sullivan attests that the Opponent is a highly successful business with turnover increasing year on year but due to recent changes in its accounting system, turnover and advertising figures are unavailable.
16. Sullivan declares that the Opponent is the owner of the following Australian marks, full details of which are shown in Annexure B:

17. Sullivan 2 states that the Opponent used the Opponent’s Mark as its main trading name from 2011 to 2013. The EIR also includes three pro forma declarations in which each declarant attests that they associate the Opponent’s Mark with the Opponent.
Applicant’s evidence
18. The Applicant was incorporated on 20 May 2022. Juresic attests that he honestly adopted the Trade Mark for the Applicant’s business of selling memberships to customers who can access tools (such as online group forums and information videos) at (Applicant’s website) and buy tickets to events for personal and executive leadership development. Details of revenue generated from membership fees and events is provided.
19. The Applicant’s business operated under the Trade Mark is promoted on social media, Google, the Applicant’s website and printed marketing materials. Juresic includes details of the Applicant’s marketing expenditure.
20. According to Juresic he was unaware of the Opponent until after the Trade Mark was adopted. When preparing the EIA, Juresic undertook some online investigations into the Opponent and declares that Bruce Sullivan has 75 followers on his Facebook account which features the Opponent’s Logo but there is no use of the Opponent’s Mark or Opponent’s Logo on the Sullivan Website.
21. Juresic declares that he is unaware of any instances of confusion between the Applicant’s use of the Trade Mark and the Opponent’s Mark.
22. Dredge attests to the results of investigations he conducted into use of the Opponent’s Mark, searches of the Australian Trade Marks Register for the exact marks ‘ONE LIFE’ and ‘1 LIFE’, and provides extracts of the Applicant’s website using the Wayback Machine.
Discussion
Section 44
23. 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.
24. In order to establish the ground under s 44, the Opponent must identify a trade mark which is registered or pending registration, in the name of a person other than the Applicant, which has an earlier priority date than the Relevant Date, is substantially identical with, or deceptively similar to the Trade Mark, and is registered or applied for in respect of goods or services which are similar and/or closely related to the Applicant’s Goods and Services.
25. In the SGP, the Opponent relies on registration 1210543 1 LIFE and registrations 1229048, 1241086 and 1269957 1 LIFE DO IT NOW! (‘Opponent’s Registrations’) noted in [16] and detailed in Annexure B.[5] The priority date of the Opponent’s Registrations is earlier than the Relevant Date.
[5] Registration 1899474 noted in [16] is not particularised in the SGP.
26. I propose to first consider the Opponent’s registration 1210543 and note that the registered class 25 goods ‘clothing, footwear, headgear’ encompasses the Applicant’s Goods. However, I do not consider any of the Opponent’s goods covered by registration 1210543 to be closely related to the Applicant’s Services. The Act does not define ‘closely related’ goods and services. In Registrar of Trade Marks v Woolworths Ltd[6] French J recognised that goods and services are fundamentally different things,[7] but observed:
There will be classes of goods which are similar to each other. There will also be classes of services which are similar. 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” and can apply to the relationships between competing services as well as between goods and services.[8]
[6] [1999] FCA 1020 (‘Woolworths’).
[7] Ibid [37].
[8] Ibid, [37].
27. In my view, consumers would not expect any of the goods covered by the Opponent’s registration 1210543 to emanate from the same source as the Applicant’s Services. Generally, the respective goods of the Opponent and services of the Applicant are provided by different traders through different trade channels and there is no real relationship between the Opponent’s registered goods and the Applicant’s Services.
28. Accordingly, I turn to the question of whether the Opponent’s Mark which is the subject of registration 1210543 is substantially identical or deceptively similar to the Trade Mark. If not, it will not be necessary to consider the Opponent’s other trade marks because those marks are further removed from the Trade Mark by virtue of the additional words ‘DO IT NOW!’.
29. The marks to be considered are set out below:
Opponent’s Mark
Trade Mark
1 LIFE
30. The test for whether two marks are substantially identical involves a side by side comparison noting the similarities and differences. When this comparison of the above marks is undertaken, it is immediately obvious that there are significant differences between the two such that there is not a total impression of resemblance. The only shared element is the word ‘LIFE’. In the Trade Mark, the dominant feature is the word ONE with the letter ‘O’ containing a ‘play’ device. The difference in the numeral 1 versus the word ONE, as well as the stylisation and additional word CLUB in the Trade Mark create significant differences between the two marks. I do not regard the Opponent’s Mark and the Trade Mark to be substantially identical.
31. The principal authority for guidance in determining whether trade marks are deceptively similar comes from the judgment of Windeyer J in TheShell Co of Australia Ltd v Esso Standard Oil (Australia) Ltd[9](‘Shell’) where his Honour said:
On the question of deceptive similarity a different comparison must be made from that which is necessary when substantial identity is in question. The marks are not now to be looked at side by side. The issue is not abstract similarity, but deceptive similarity. Therefore the comparison is the familiar one of trade mark law. It is between, on the one hand, the impression based on recollection of the plaintiff’s mark that persons of ordinary intelligence and memory would have; and, on the other hand, the impressions that such persons would get from the defendant’s [trade mark].[10]
[9] [1963] HCA 66; (1963) 109 CLR 407.
[10] Ibid [13].
32. The relevant principles of deceptive similarity were conveniently stated by the High Court in Self Care IP Holdings Pty Ltd v Allergan Australia Pty Ltd,[11] which may be summarised as follows:
[11] [2023] HCA 8 (Kiefel CJ, Gageler, Gordon, Edelman and Gleeson JJ).
(a)the resemblance between the two marks must be the cause of the likely deception or confusion;[12]
[12] Swancom Pty Ltd v The Jazz Corner Hotel Pty Ltd [2022] FCAFC 157, [69] (Yates, Abraham and Rofe JJ).
(b)in the trade mark comparison, the marks must be judged as a whole taking into account both their look and their sound;[13]
[13] Cooper Engineering Co Pty Ltd v Sigmund Pumps Ltd (1952) 86 CLR 536, 538 (Dixon, Williams and Kitto JJ).
(c)the marks should not be compared side by side;[14]
(d)the effect of spoken description must be considered; if a mark is in fact or from its nature likely to be the source of some name or verbal description by which buyers will express their desire to have the goods (or services), then similarities both of sound and of meaning may play an important part;[15]
(e)the focus is upon the effect or impression produced on the mind of potential customers of the goods (or services) in relation to which the two marks are used and in the case of the registered mark, allowing for ‘imperfect recollection’;[16]
(f)the notional buyer is a person with no knowledge about any actual use of the registered mark, the actual business of the owner of the registered mark, the goods the owner produces, any acquired distinctiveness from the use of the marks prior to filing, or any reputation associated with the registered mark;[17]
(g)the correct approach is to compare the impression (allowing for imperfect recollection) that the notional buyer would have of the registered mark (as notionally used on all of the goods or services covered by the registration), with the impression that the notional buyer would have of notional and normal fair use of the opposed mark;[18]
(h)“deceived” implies the creation of an incorrect belief or mental impression; “causing confusion” may merely involve “perplexing or mixing up the minds” of potential customers; [19]
(i)the usual manner in which ordinary people behave must be the test of what confusion or deception may be expected, having regard to the character of the customers who would be likely to buy the goods in issue;[20]
(j)it is not necessary to establish actual probability of deception or confusion, but a mere possibility of confusion is not enough. There must a real, tangible danger of deception or confusion occurring. It is enough if the notional buyer would entertain a reasonable doubt as to whether, due to the resemblance between the marks, the two products come from the same source. Put another way, there must be “a real likelihood that some people will wonder or be left in doubt about whether the two sets of products ... come from the same source”;[21]
(k)evidence of actual confusion is of great weight, but not essential, and lack of such evidence may also be relevant;[22] and
(l)any intention to deceive or cause confusion may be a relevant consideration but is not required.[23]

33. In Clark v Sharp it was noted:
One must bear in mind the points of resemblance and the points of dissimilarity, attaching fair weight and importance to all, but remembering that the ultimate solution is to be arrived at, not by adding up and comparing the results of such matters, but by judging the general effect of the respective wholes.[24]
[24] ConAgra Inc v McCain Foods (Australia) Pty Ltd [1992] FCA 159, [77] (Lockhart J).
34. The Opponent argues that the Trade Mark is deceptively similar to the Opponent’s Mark because the general recollection or impression of the Trade Mark and the Opponent’s Mark is identical. The Opponent contends that the Trade Mark is for a stylised mark consisting of the words ‘ONE LIFE’ which is the essential element of the Trade Mark and aurally identical to the Opponent’s Mark.
35. The Applicant argues that the Trade Mark is a relatively complex mark whereas the Opponent’s Mark is a ‘weak ordinary term’. The Applicant notes that the dominant element in size and position is the stylized word ONE whereas LIFE and CLUB are ‘distinctly secondary’ but are ‘nonetheless sufficiently large’ to be clearly visible and not negligible. Further “LIFE CLUB’ will be considered as one element, rather than two, by virtue of its positioning in equal size on the same line
36. In my opinion, the Trade Mark is not deceptively similar to the Opponent’s Mark. I agree with the Applicant that the dominant and most memorable element of the Trade Mark is the stylised word ‘ONE’. The stylised word ONE in the Trade Mark occupies a central position within the Trade Mark and as a result of its size and stylization, the eye is drawn to this element before the secondary element ‘LIFE CLUB’. The Opponent’s assessment ignores the presence of the word ‘CLUB’ which appears in the same font and size as the word LIFE. Due to the positioning of the different words in the Trade Mark, the Trade Mark will be read and recalled as ONE - LIFE CLUB which is conceptually different to the Opponent’s Mark. Whilst there is a degree of aural similarity, visually the marks are quite distinct. I consider that the overall impression created by the Trade Mark is sufficiently dissimilar to that of the Opponent’s Mark such that there is no real and tangible danger of confusion between the Trade Mark and the Opponent’s Mark when considered as wholes.
37. Similarly, the Opponent’s other mark 1 LIFE DO IT NOW! is not substantially identical or deceptively similar to the Trade Mark. Hence it is not necessary to consider whether the registrations for this mark cover similar or closely related goods or services to the Applicant’s Goods and Services.
38. The s 44 ground of opposition has not been established.
Section 58
39. Section 58 provides that the registration of a trade mark may be opposed on the grounds that the applicant is not the owner of the trade mark.
40. In its SGP, the Opponent claims that the Applicant is not the owner of the Trade Mark because the Opponent has used the Opponent’s Mark and 1 LIFE DO IT NOW (collectively ‘Opponent’s Marks’) since at least 2007 in relation to the Opponent’s Registered Goods and Services (as set out in Annexure B) which the Opponent claims are the same kind as the Applicant’s Services.
41. The term ’owner’ is not defined in the Act but the concept of trade mark ownership was discussed in Anchorage Capital Partners Pty Limited v ACPA Pty Ltd wherein the Full Court of the Federal Court observed:
[O]wnership may be acquired by the act of applying for registration of a trade mark even though the applicant has not previously used the mark and the mark has already been used outside Australia by someone else. However, the applicant’s claim to ownership of the mark may be defeated if another person has previously used the mark, or a substantially identical mark, in Australia as a trade mark in relation to the same goods or services, or goods or services of the same kind, as those that are the subject of the application for registration.[25]
[25] [2018] FCAFC 6, [49] (Nicholas, Yates and Beach JJ).
42. Hence to succeed on this ground of opposition, the Opponent must firstly establish that at least one of the Opponent’s Marks is substantially identical to the Trade Mark. I have already found that the Opponent’s Marks are not substantially identical to the Trade Mark and therefore, the Opponent cannot succeed under s 58.
Section 60
43. Pursuant to s 60, the registration of a trade mark may be opposed on the basis that another trade mark had, before the priority date, acquired a reputation in Australia and because of that reputation, use of the opposed mark is likely to deceive or cause confusion.
44. In its SGP, the Opponent states:
The Opponent (and associated companies/persons) is the owner of the trade mark “1 LIFE” / “1 LIFE DO IT NOW!” (“Trade Mark”) in relation to various goods and services in Classes 9, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24, 25, 39, 41 and 43 relating to electronic publications, precious metals and their alloys, printed matter, leather goods, drinking vessels, towels, clothing, footwear and headgear, agency services, membership and subscription services and education, training and mentoring services (“Goods and Services”).
The Opponent is the owner of Registration Nos. 1210543, 1229048, 1241086 and 1269957 for the Trade Mark (“Registrations”).
The Opponent has invested a substantial amount of time, money and effort in developing, promoting, and selling the Goods and Services under/in connection with the Trade Mark since at least 2007. As a result, the Trade Mark has become directly associated with the Opponent and represents substantial goodwill for the Opponent.
45. The reputation must be established as a matter of fact by the Opponent[26] and must be amongst a ‘significant’ or ‘substantial’ number of Australian consumers[27] although this will depend on the nature of the goods and services in question.
[26] ConAgra Inc v McCain Foods (Aust) Pty Ltd [1992] FCA 159, [77] (Lockhart J).
[27] Renaud Cointreau & Cie v Cordon Bleu International Ltee [2001] FCA 1170, [75] (Moore, Tamberlin and Goldberg JJ).
46. The reputation of a trade mark may be demonstrated in a variety of ways. For example, it may be established by demonstrating a significant number of people are exposed to a trade mark,[28] or inferred from a high volume of sales, advertising expenditure or other promotion.[29]
[28] Le Cordon Bleu BV v Cordon Bleu International Ltee [2000] FCA 1587, [91] (Heerey J).
[29] McCormick & Co Inc v McCormick [2000] FCA 1335, [86] (Kenny J).
47. Furthermore, the reputation must be established in each of the trade marks on which the Opponent relies.[30]
[30] Qantas Airways Ltd v Edwards [2016] FCA 729, [160] (Yates J).
48. In the Opponent’s written submissions, the Opponent claims a reputation in the Opponent’s Mark as a result of use of that mark since 2006 and its promotion through online marketing, social media and word of mouth.
49. The Opponent has not provided any details of revenue derived from use of the Opponent’s Mark nor details its advertising expenditure to promote the services offered under the Opponent’s Mark. According to Sullivan, such metrics are unavailable due to a new accounting system. The Opponent’s evidence also lacks any specifics about the trade shows or exhibitions attended and it has not hosted its own Loving Life Conference since 2017.
50. The figures which are provided in the Opponent’s evidence are not impressive given the long period of use that the Opponent claims to have used its marks. In almost 15 years, the Opponent has amassed a database of only 20,000 people, some of whom are not based in Australia. The Opponent has printed 24,000 Magazines over the years which have not been fully sold and which do not feature the Opponent’s Mark but rather the Opponent’s Logo or 1 LIFE DO IT NOW. The promotion of the Opponent’s Mark seems sporadic or to have decreased in recent years. Whilst the first two editions of the Magazine were published in 2012 and were titled with the Opponent’s Logo, the third edition was not published until 2016 and was titled LIFETIME SUCCESS CLUB with 1 LIFE DO IT NOW! appearing as a slogan in small print under this title. It is not apparent that any other editions have been published.
51. The Opponent’s social media following is insignificant with the 1 Life Do It Now Facebook account having only 76 followers[31] and showing 1 post in 2015, 11 posts all in May and June 2016, 6 posts in 2017, 2 posts in 2018 and 1 post in November 2019. Each of the posts on the Opponent’s Instagram account 1life_doitnow received less than 10 likes indicating a low level of customer engagement.
[31] Exhibit BS-08 of Sullivan.
52. I am not persuaded that the third party declarations provided in Sullivan 2 establish any reputation in the Opponent’s Marks given the pro forma nature of the declarations. Also, two of the declarations appear to be from employees of the Opponent (or a related entity) and the third is from the promotional company which supplies the Opponent’s merchandise.
53. In my opinion, the Opponent has failed to establish a reputation in any of the Opponent’s Marks at the Relevant Date. As the Opponent has not satisfied the requirements under s 60(a), I do not need to consider whether the use of the Trade Mark would be likely to deceive or cause confusion. I find that the Opponent has failed to establish the ground of opposition pursuant to s 60.
Section 42(b)
54. Section 42(b) provides that an application for the registration of a trade mark must be rejected if its use would be contrary to law.
55. The onus is on the Opponent to establish that use of the Trade Mark by the Applicant would be, rather than could be, contrary to law on the balance of probabilities.[32] The relevant time for assessing whether an application is contrary to law is at the relevant date but ‘looking forward to prospective conduct after registration’.[33]
[32] Advantage Rent-a-Car Inc v Advantage Car Rental Pty Ltd [2001] FCA 683, [28] (Madgwick J).
[33] Time Warner Entertainment Co LP v Stepsam Investments Pty Ltd [2004] 59 IPR 343, 353 (Wilcox J).
56. The Opponent alleges in its SGP that use of the Trade Mark would be contrary to law as it would constitute passing off and/or the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth). In the Opponent’s written submissions, it is apparent that the Opponent claims use of the Trade Mark will breach ss 18 and 29 of the Australian Consumer Law (‘ACL’) which forms Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).
57. Section 18 of the ACL concerns conduct or representations that have, or are likely to, mislead or deceive. Section 29 of the ACL concerns representations that are false or misleading. These are stricter requirements than s 60 which can be established if the use is likely to cause confusion or wonderment.[34]
[34] Parkdale Custom Built Furniture Pty Ltd v Puxu Pty Ltd [1982] HCA 44; (1982) 149 CLR 191, 198 (Gibbs CJ); Monster Energy Company v Mixi Inc [2020] FCA 1398, [33] (Stewart J).
58. Given the more stringent test under the ACL, where a ground of opposition under s 60 is unsuccessful, reputation-based claims under ss 18 and/or 29 of the ACL will also fail.[35]
[35] Re Equity Access Pty Ltd v Westpac Banking Corporation [1989] FCA 506 (Hill J); Riding for the Disabled Association of Australia Limited v Pony Club Australia Pty Ltd [2019] ATMO 63, [63]-[64] (Hearing Officer A. Richards).
59. In Re Equity Access Pty Ltd v Westpac Banking Corporation, Hill J also addressed the relationship between s 52 of the TPA and passing off. His Honour considered that:
The scope for the operation of s. 52 will thus be broader than that involved in the tort of passing off so that in a case such as the present where the claim is for the protection of the reputation in a name against the use of that name by another, failure to succeed under s. 52 or s. 53 will invariably mean that proceedings for passing off would likewise fail.[36]
[36] [1989] FCA 506, [40].
60. Section 18 of the ACL is the equivalent of s 52 of the TPA.[37] The above comments are equally applicable to the relationship between s 18 of the ACL and the tort of passing off. As I have found that s 18 of the ACL has not been contravened, it follows that use of the Trade Mark does not amount to passing off.
[37] Primary Health Care Limited v Commonwealth of Australia [2017] FCAFC 174, [410] (Rangiah J).
61. I have found that the Opponent has not established a reputation in the Opponent’s Marks under s 60(a) and accordingly, I am not satisfied that use of the Trade Mark by the Applicant would be contrary to law. Therefore, the Opponent has failed to establish the ground of opposition under s 42(b).
Section 62A
62. The basis for an opposition under s 62A is that the trade mark application has been made in bad faith.
63. Bad faith is not defined in the Act. The Explanatory Memorandum to the Bill that inserted this ground of opposition into the Act stated that this ground was introduced to cater for situations (among others) ‘in which a person has deliberately set out to gain registration of a trade mark, or adopted a trade mark in bad faith’.[38] The Federal Court has substantively considered the issue of bad faith in Fry Consulting Pty Ltd v Sports Warehouse Inc (No 2)[39] and DC Comics v Cheqout Pty Ltd.[40] The following propositions emerge from these decisions which are relevant to the present opposition:
· Bad faith for the purposes of s 62A must be [as at the Relevant Date] and must relate to the making of the subject of that application.[41]
· Bad faith is a serious allegation that “impugns the character of an individual or collective character of a business” and requires correspondingly cogent evidence. The standard of proof is the balance of probabilities, rather than that of beyond reasonable doubt.[42]
· Conduct that falls short of the standards of acceptable commercial behaviour observed by reasonable and experienced persons in the particular area is sufficient. Bad faith does not require dishonesty.[43]
· The registration of a trade mark is designed to enable bona fide proprietors to protect their proprietary rights without having to prove unfair trading.[44]
· All the circumstances surrounding the application to register the mark are relevant.[45]
· A prior business connection with and knowledge of the opponent by the applicant such that a person standing in the shoes of the applicant should have known that he should not have applied for a trade mark deceptively similar to that used by the opponent is sufficient for a finding of bad faith.[46]
· Section 62A does not require the opponent to establish that the trade mark’s use would result in deception or confusion.[47]

[47] DC Comics (n 40) 209 [76].
64. The decided cases have established that assessing whether an application was filed in bad faith is a two-step test with a subjective and an objective element. The subjective element requires findings as to what the Applicant knew at the filing date. The objective element then asks: armed with that knowledge, would a person adopting proper standards of commercial behaviour consider the act of filing the trade mark to be in bad faith?
65. The Opponent bears the onus of establishing that the filing of the Application was in bad faith and it will not be easily established given the serious nature of the allegation.[48]
[48] Hard Coffee Pty Ltd v Hard Coffee Main Beach Pty Ltd [2009] ATMO 26, [20] (Hearing Officer D. Nancarrow).
66. The Opponent particularlised this ground in its SGP by claiming that it had continuously used the Opponent’s Marks since at least 2007 in the same industry as the Applicant and hence, ‘[i]t is clear that the Applicant was aware of the Opponent’s reputation and Trade Mark prior to the Applicants filing date, given the Opponent’s longstanding and nationwide reputation. Reasonable and experienced persons in the field would view such conduct as falling short of acceptable commercial behaviour. As such, the Opposed Application was filed in bad faith.’
67. I have found under the s 60 ground of opposition that the Opponent has not established a reputation in the Opponent’s Marks at the Relevant Date and further, that the Trade Mark is not substantially identical or deceptively similar to the Opponent’s Marks. Juresic attests to the honest adoption of the Trade Mark and the fact that the Applicant was unaware of the Opponent or the Opponent’s Marks. Even if the Applicant knew of the Opponent or the Opponent’s Marks, I do not consider that the filing of the Application would amount to bad faith given the overall differences in the marks. The evidence before me does not support the Opponent’s assertions that the Applicant applied for the Trade Mark in bad faith and I find that the s 62A ground of opposition is unsuccessful.
Decision
68. I find that the Opponent has failed to establish any of the grounds of opposition it nominated in the SGP and direct that application number 2322907 may proceed to registration not less than one month from the date of this decision. If the Registrar is served with a notice of appeal before that time, I direct that registration shall not occur until either the appeal is withdrawn or discontinued. The disposition of the Application shall otherwise be in accordance with the court’s order or direction.
69. The Applicant has requested an award of costs. As costs generally follow the event, I award costs against the Opponent under s 221 in the relevant amounts under Schedule 8 of the Regulations.
