The Registrar applied the correct legal principles and proper evaluative process under s12(3): having compared the marks as a whole and legitimately identified 'REGIS' as the distinctive dominant element and the Chinese transliteration and device as subordinate, and having applied fair and notional use and a global assessment of likelihood of confusion, no error of law was shown; the appeal was dismissed and the Registrar's decision upholding the opposition in Class 43 was upheld.
