Wave Intellectual Property Inc. v Agaba (Trademark Application 74413 of 2022) [2023] UGRSB 10 (7 June 2023)
A foreign earlier registration may bar a similar local application if section 44's similarity, priority and reciprocity requirements are met.
Trade marks – similarity and likelihood of confusion – dominant element analysis (visual, aural, conceptual). Section 44 Trademarks Act 2010 – protection against registration of marks registered in country/place of origin; requirements under subsections (2),(3) and reciprocity under (4). Paris Convention Article 6bis – well‑known marks and limits of domestic incorporation; defensive registration under section 47. Territoriality vs universality in trademark protection; undertaking to register and effect of prior foreign registration.
