The IP adjudicator at the Israeli Trademarks Office has dismissed an opposition against the registration of the trademark ARCOSTEEL on the grounds that there was no likelihood of confusion with the earlier registered trademark ARCOS (April 2 2009).
Millennium Mark filed to register the figurative mark ARCOSTEEL for stainless steel kitchenware (Class 21 of the Nice Classification) in IL TM Application No. 138568.
Arcos Hermanos SA, the owner of the figurative trademark ARCOS for cutlery (translation for Ameican readers: flatware or silverware) in (Class 8), opposed the application claiming that it was confusingly similar to its registered mark.
Having first found no basis for bad faith allegations, the adjudicator went on to consider whether there was a likelihood of confusion or association between the marks.
Comparing the marks as a whole, the IP adjudicator found that they looked and sounded different.
Arcos claimed that consumers would believe that the ARCOSTEEL mark indicated steel products produced by Arcos, that Internet search engines looking for 'Arcos' found Millennium's products and that the word 'steel' is generic and suggestive/descriptive so the first part 'Arcos' was dominant. The IP adjudicator rejected these points and ruled that customers would read the mark 'Arco Steel' and not Arcos Steel.
Even though not considering the ARCOS mark well-known, the Arbitrator considered that were it a famous mark under the Paris Convention, that wouldn't matter, since the more famous the mark, the less likely public confusion is.
After the non-likelihood of confusion of XL for energetic drinks and XL for energetic drinks, since one is fizzy and the other flat, and one is sold in distinctive aluminium ring-pull cans and the other in PET bottles, the IP Adjudicator, Noach Shalev Shmulovich, is being consistent.
I am not sure that I agree with him though. Is it true that the Israeli public is not likely to be confused? "Arcos Steel" wouldn't be contracted to Arcosteel. That sort of thing just doesn't happen in Israel does it?
I think I would have come down on Arcos' side and rejected the registration. If, for argument's sake and not implying that this is the case, Arcosteel's goods were inferior or defective in some manner, could that not damage Arcos' reputation? I think the applicant should have been alerted by his counsel and should have chosen an even less similar mark. That said, whilst disagreeing, I do not find the decision totally unreasonable.

France's top court overturns burkini ban in Riviera town
Issued on: Modified:
France's top administrative court on Friday overturned a ban on full-body burkini swimsuits in a southern French town amid shock and anger worldwide after some Muslim women were ordered to remove body-concealing garments on French Riviera beaches.
The State Council (Conseil d'État) gave the ruling following a request from the Human Rights League and a Muslim advocacy group to overturn the burkini ban in the Mediterranean town of Villeneuve-Loubet on the grounds it contravenes civil liberties.
The court ruled that local authorities could only restrict individual liberties if there was a "proven risk" to public order. It said the decree to ban burkinis in Villeneuve-Loubet "seriously, and clearly illegally, breached the fundamental freedoms to come and go, the freedom of beliefs and individual freedom".
The decision overturned a ruling by an administrative court in Nice on Monday, which had argued that the ban was "necessary, appropriate and proportionate" to prevent public disorder amid a heightened terror alert.
Villeneuve-Loubet, near Nice, was one of the first of around 30 French towns to prohibit the burkini, a full-body swimsuit worn by some Muslim women which covers the hair but leaves the face visible and goes all the way to the ankles.
Mayors had cited concern about public order after deadly Islamist attacks this summer, and many officials have argued that burkinis oppress women.
The ruling by the State Council specifically concerns the ban in Villeneuve-Loubet, but the binding decision is expected to set a legal precedent for all municipalities that have issued similar decrees.
Lawyer Patrice Spinosi, representing the Human Rights League, told reporters that other mayors should conform to the court's decision. He also said women who have already received fines can protest them based on Friday's decision.
"Today the state of law is that these ordinances are not justified," he said. "They violate fundamental liberties and they should be withdrawn."
The head of the Collective against Islamophobia in France (CCIF), Marwan Muhammad, warned that his group would press charges wherever mayors fail to revoke bans on burkinis.
But several mayors in southeast France remained defiant on Thursday, declaring shortly after the ruling that they would continue to fine women wearing burkinis.
'No link to terrorism'
The burkini controversy made international headlines this week after photographs emerged of armed police surrounding a veiled woman on a Nice beach, fining her and looking on as she removed her tunic.
The publication of the pictures caused a Twitter storm on Wednesday, and the hashtag #WTFFrance (What the F**k France) was trending on French Twitter throughout the day.

On Thursday, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said he condemned any "stigmatisation" of Muslims, but maintained that the burkini was "a political sign of religious proselytising".
"We are not at war with Islam ... the French republic is welcoming (to Muslims), we are protecting them against discrimination," he told BFMTV.

But in a sign of the divisions within the Socialist government on the issue, Education Minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem said the "proliferation" of burkini bans "was not a welcome development".
Vallaud-Belkacem, who is of Moroccan origin, took issue with the wording of the ban in Nice which linked the measure to the jihadist attack in the resort town last month in which 86 people were killed.
"In my opinion, there is nothing to prove that there is a link between the terrorism of Daesh and what a woman wears on a beach," she said, using another term for the Islamic State group.
Islamophobic agenda?
The so-called burkini bans never actually mention the word burkini, although they are clearly aimed at the garment. The vague wording of the bans has caused confusion.
Earlier this week, a mother of two told AFP she had been fined on the beach in the resort of Cannes while wearing leggings, a tunic and a headscarf. "I was sitting on a beach with my family. I was wearing a classic headscarf. I had no intention of swimming," said the 34-year-old who gave only her first name, Siam.
Such incidents have been condemned by prominent feminist groups in France, including some known for their anti-clerical views.
Islamic dress has long been a subject of debate in France, which was the first European country to ban the Islamic face veil in public in 2010, six years after outlawing the headscarf and other conspicuous religious symbols in state schools.
Anouar Kbibech, the head of the French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM), said he was "concerned over the direction the public debate is taking".
Critics say the bans are feeding a racist political agenda as campaigning for next year's French presidential elections kicks off.
Former President Nicolas Sarkozy, who announced this week he's seeking the conservative nomination for the 2017 race, said at a rally Thursday night in southern France that he wants a law banning the burkini "on the entire territory of the Republic."
"This is a slap for the prime minister and a kick up the backside for Sarkozy," Abdallah Zekri, secretary general of the French Muslim Council (CFCM), said of the ruling. "We're satisfied with this."

SBUX: May have bottomed for Primary IV. Rallied on earnings on Friday and continued to so today 🙂 Pretty much hit our preferred (major) c=a target to the T and has now moved outside the black and red downtrend channels (see blue and green arrows). All TIs are pointing up, wanting to see higher prices. The move from primary III down to last week's low is clearly overlapping and corrective. Hence, new ATHs should be expected.
TSLA: Not so fast Eddy uhhh Musk. Your price chart doesn't have all the right ingredients for a rally just yet in our opinion. Price held the red horizontal support level, but bounced in our opinion with little conviction. We need to see it back above the green level (~$202) and then the $215 to be sure the low is in. Otherwise the charts keep pointing to $175ish for a low.
