 Loaded Dice
On the basis of the evidence presented to him, Mr Thorley found that, at the date of Valucci’s trade mark application, the trade mark Loaded had a significant reputation in relation to magazines amongst at least a proportion of the UK public.
Finally, given that Loaded is not a natural term to use as a trade mark for either a magazine or clothing and given the reputation established by IPC in relation to a magazine having a significant fashion content, it was inevitable that some of the kudos of Loaded magazine would accrue to Loaded branded clothing.
This is a significant case that may, in some circumstances, broaden the definition of detriment for the purposes of Section 5(3) of the 1994 Act.

Each of the three dice could be beaten by one of the others: die A would tend to beat die B, die B would tend to beat die C, and die C would tend to beat die A. This means that there was no winning first choice of a die, only a winning second choice.
The nontransitive property of the dice, however, also means that D will beat A two-thirds of the time.

I wondered if this was enough information to create a universal dice loading formula, one which would give the optimum loading depth for a die of any given size, wall thickness and materials.
If you consider a hollow loaded dice as being composed of just 2 parts, the shell and the loading material, then when the loading is negligibly heavy, the CoG of the dice approaches that of the shell, ie the centre of the dice.

In France it had been his mysterious skill with cards and dice, and the vast sums he had won by holding a bank at faro at the house of that famous courtesan, La Duclos, which had led to his being requested by Monsieur d'Argenson, the King's Lieutenant-General of Police, to leave the country.
There was no suggestion that he loaded his dice or marked his cards.
It was universally recognized that his play was scrupulously correct, and that his good fortune was to be attributed solely to a mathematical genius and an incredible ability and speed in estimating odds.

 Loaded Dice Again
In October 1995 IPC Media applied to register the mark Loaded for a variety of goods and services in Classes 9, 35, 41 and 42, and Loaded Records Limited filed a Notice of Opposition against the application.
Although a number of grounds of opposition were stated, the opponents came to rely on Section 5(4)(a) only, namely that the use of the applicant's mark was liable to be prevented in the UK by the law of passing-off.
This case needs to be compared with a previous case involving the mark Loaded, where IPC Media opposed an application for the mark Loaded in respect of clothing, under the provisions of Section 5(3) of the 1994 Act (see Make Your Mark, Spring 2001).
