The appeals were dismissed because the applicant failed to prove inherent or acquired distinctiveness for the applied-for three-dimensional marks; the hearing officer correctly applied ss 9 and 10 of the Ordinance and the burden of proof rests on the applicant, so registration was properly refused and no further consideration of section 12 was necessary.
