 The Hole Truth
On the evidence of, in particular, limited sales of Lifesavers and Navy mints in the UK in recent years, no case had been made out that Nestlé’s claimed shape was customary to the trade in December 1994 (the date of application).
The principal grounds of opposition were based on Nestlé’s goodwill and reputation in the shape of a white annular mint acquired through use in the UK (Section 5(4)(a)) and their claim that this colour/shape was an earlier well known mark in the UK (Section 5(2)(b)/Section 6(1)(c)).
On this definition, Nestlé’s claim that the Polo mint shape (with or without the embossed word POLO) was well known in the UK was not established.
