Poland: No risk of confusion between Chanel and Chantal
The Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita reports about recent decision of the Polish Patent Office (the PPO, case signature 161/07) regarding the registration of Chantal trade mark. Przedsiebiorstwo Produkcyjno-Handlowe Chantal Roman Godek applied for CHANTAL trade mark registration in classes 3 and 5 in 2002. The PPO issued its positive decision and registered this sign on 16 December 2006. Chanel opposed. The PPO acknowledged the reputation of Chanel mark and similarity of goods, however the Opposition Board also concluded that both marks are not alike in this manner that it would lead to the risk of consumers confusion. The Board also noted that the clientele to which those products are directed differs. The decision is not final and is not binding.
