Headnote
A slogan was refused as devoid of distinctive character and inherently incapable of distinguishing one person's goods from another's. The words were too common to be monopolised, none of the appellant's many registrations was for a similar mark, and the application was on a proposed-to-be-used basis with no prior use.
Disposition
Dismissed, with liberty to seek registration of the same mark in future on establishing that long usage has made it distinctive. No costs.
