The Registrar erred by comparing the plaintiff's marks collectively rather than individually and by failing to assess conceptual similarity and the limited significance of 'JP EXCLUSIVE'; the dominant elements ('POLO' and the polo player device) are substantially similar and likely to cause confusion and are not distinctive, therefore the Registrar's decision is set aside and the originating summons is allowed.
