The appeal is dismissed because the opponent failed to establish the necessary threshold reputation under s.12(1) on the evidence before the acting registrar and, on the merits under s.20(1), the marks are not deceptively similar when assessed as a whole (appearance, sound and meaning); given the nature of the goods and notional fair use, there is no reasonable likelihood of deception or confusion.
