- CACV169/2007
The hearing officer correctly found the applied-for 3-dimensional marks lacked inherent and factual distinctiveness and the applicant failed to discharge the burden of proof under sections 9 and 10; accordingly the marks are unregistrable and the appeals are dismissed; it was unnecessary to decide section 12(3)(b) issues.
