Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy
Outcome
Set aside

Headnote

The only objection was the presence of a shared element in two prior marks. On a suggestion from the Court the applicant agreed to modify the device mark so that both word elements are written in a common font of equal size beneath the pictorial device, which made the mark sufficiently different from the citations.
