Poland: Prince Polo's problems
This is the continuation of a story described in "Poland: no similarity between PRINCE POLO and MARCO POLO trade marks". Kraft Foods Poland filed a cassation complaint. The Supreme Administrative Court in its judgment of 12 July 2011 case file II GSK 746/10 dismissed the complaint and held that the reputation/renown of the trade mark and the homogenity of goods bearing the signs at issue - even if they could be taken into account while assessing the likelihood of confusion - cannot challenge the established view that there is the lack of similarity between these trade marks. The Court decided that trade marks that were subject to the opposition proceedings do not contain a common element being the same surname, because the meaning of the POLO word in these trade marks is different.
