Summary

The opponents based their opposition on a registration of the mark PLANTEX in Class 30. However, as the registration had just been revoked for non-use, no ground of opposition under Section 5(2) remained. The Hearing Officer went on to find no justification for the opposition under Sections 3(1) or 3(6).
