Nike Innovate CV -v- Intermar Simanto O-222-16
An Appeal to Daniel Alexander QC sitting as Appointed Person. The case concerned an opposition that failed because the opponent was unable to establish genuine use of its earlier mark, a EUTM, by the sale of 55,000 pairs of shoes in Bulgaria. The decision adopts and approves of the approach taken by Arnold J in London Taxi Corporation [2016] EWHC 52 and of his summary of the law on genuine use.
