The latest judgment from LJ Arnold in the Court of Appeal confirms that the relevant population should not be 'salami sliced' to form the average consumer. Further, a likelihood of confusion is not to be assessed by reference to those who are intoxicated!

The Court also confirmed that bad faith does not infect the entirety of a specification. While this means the effect on drafting trade mark applications may be low, the fact that enforcement and pleadings can 'factor in' means the decision is likely to materially impact on contentious strategies.
The Supreme Court judgment in Sky v SkyKick confirmed that, for bad faith, courts can take into account: the size and width of a trade mark specification, the size and nature of the proprietor’s business, the rationale for making the application, previous enforcement strategy, and pleadings.
