  • On what grounds could an unregistered trade mark opposition win out?

    This is a question requiring professional legal advice, but an example exists in the case of Florian Mack v Golden Cala Trading EST. Golden Cala Trading EST (the Applicant) tried to file a trademark for a mark that was already being used by Florian Mack (the Opponent). The Opponent won out on the basis of “passing off”. To do this, the Opponent had to prove (and did): Goodwill in the use of his own mark Misrepresentation on the part of the Applicant’s mark Damages incurred Technically, the Opponent did not win on the basis of having an earlier unregistered mark (first-to-use) but on the basis of passing off.In first-to-file regimes (such as Singapore, China, Hong Kong, and Europe) it is crucial to file for a trademark to be guaranteed any protection in IP court.
