Headnote
A refusal consisting of a single sentence, that the mark was objectionable under sections 9 and 11, was held completely bereft of reasons, and the grounds of decision supplied later under Rule 36(1) added only further conclusions. The mark derived from the applicant's corporate name, was not applied to the goods its words name, and had been registered abroad in identical form. Lack of reasons alone was enough to set the order aside.
Disposition
Allowed. Impugned order set aside and the application directed to proceed to advertisement. Not binding on opponents.
