Mbabali & Another v Pope Paul VI Social Club Limited (Petition Cause 17370 of 2023) [2024] UGRSB 3 (8 February 2024)
8 February 2024
East African Roofing Systems Limited v Metal Wood Industries Limited (Trademark Application 72822 of 2021) [2024] UGRSB 2 (7 February 2024)
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.
