United States Polo Association v Polo Enterprises Holdings Pty Ltd

The United States Polo Association (the Opponent) opposed the registration of a trade mark by Polo Enterprises Holdings Pty Ltd (the Applicant). The dispute concerned the registrability of the Applicant's trade mark. The decision was made by Iain Campbell Thompson.

The court was required to determine whether any grounds of opposition raised by the Opponent had been established, which would prevent the registration of the Applicant's trade mark.

The court found that the Opponent had not established any ground of opposition. Accordingly, the court decided that the trade mark application could proceed to registration. The court also awarded costs to the Applicant, as it was the successful party.
