SEW-EURODRIVE GmbH and Co. KG v. The Assistant Registrar of Trade Marks, (T)CMA(TM) 201 and 203/2023

Case number
(T)CMA(TM) 201 and 203/2023
Date of judgment
Outcome
Set aside

Headnote

Two applications were treated as abandoned because requirements posted on the Registry website fifteen months after the reply to the search report went unnoticed. The Registry cannot oblige an applicant to visit its website daily, and a posting should carry an alert to a telephone number the applicant provides.

Disposition

Allowed. Orders of abandonment set aside.
