Applied-for JJABARI refused due to confusing similarity with registered HABARI for identical Class 30 goods.
Trade mark law – Section 25 Trademarks Act – prohibition of registration of identical or nearly resembling marks – likelihood of confusion. Similarity assessment – visual, aural and conceptual comparison; overall impression test (Pianotist/Canon). Same goods (Class 30) increases risk of confusion. Procedural – opposition pursued despite applicant’s non‑participation; decision on papers and counterstatement.

Registrar dismisses opposition: background colour/trade dress alone cannot ground refusal; passing off is for the courts.
Trademarks – similarity and likelihood of confusion – background colour/trade dress alone insufficient to establish confusion without mark/goods similarity. Trademarks – jurisdiction – Registrar’s jurisdiction in opposition proceedings limited to statutory grounds under the Trademarks Act; passing off and market-use disputes are for the courts. Trademarks – bad faith – must be specifically pleaded and proved to refuse registration.
