1. This is a trade mark appeal. The appellant wanted to register as a trade mark under Class 25 for clothing, footwear and headgear. The respondent opposed it. Miss Lavinia Chang, on behalf of the Registrar of Trade Marks, held a hearing on 31 May 2005 and dismissed the appellant’s application afterwards. She did so by drawing an irresistible inference that the appellant, in designing his mark, had copied the respondent’s mark.
