Summary

The opposition succeeded under Sections 3(1)(b) and (c), the Hearing Officer's reasoning following that set forth in another opposition to the same application (SRIS O/143/00), though based on different evidence and notwithstanding the fact that he found that evidence to be of limited cogency. Opposition failed on all other grounds again for the reasons as set forth in O/143/00.
