Headnote
Rectification allowed and GOLDI cancelled. The Court found the rival marks phonetically, visually and structurally nearly identical with no conceptual distinction, in the same class and for similar goods, with common trade circles, distribution networks, retail outlets and consumers, so an average consumer of imperfect recollection would be confused or would at least assume an association. Section 47(1)(a) independently supported removal, there being no evidence of how the respondent adopted the mark and none of use three months before the date of application, and sections 9(2)(a) and 11(1)(a) and (b) would in any event have barred registration.
