Summary
The Hearing Officer considered that the evidence provided by the registered proprietor had not shown use of the mark, as required by Section 100. Also, he declined to suspend his decision pending the outcome of the European Court of Justice’s consideration of the matter of residual discretion under Section 46, since no basis for discretion in this case had been put to him and no use of the mark had been shown.
