Please note the following corrigendum in the Judgment dated 11 August 2022:

Paragraph 5 of the Judgment should be replaced by the following:-

“For easy reference, I will refer the mark in §3 above as “the Logo Mark” because it contains a logo and the mark in §4 above as “the Words Mark” because it contains only words.  I will also refer both marks collectively as “the Subject Marks”.”


Dated the 20th day of December 2024
