The Bubble Bursts
Business Standard has reported that Candico which has been using the ‘Big Bubble’ trademark since 1989 has seen its demand for the cancellation of the Italian company Perfetti’s trademark ‘Big Babol’ which it has been using in India since 1981 dismissed by the IPAB. The Board said that it was of the view that it was for the applicant, Candico, to prove that if the mark was allowed to continue on the register it would affect their right.
I’m not sure why Candico wasn’t able to prove that the two marks, ‘Big Bubble’ and ‘Big Babol’ are not confusing.
