without modification applied it as an English noun in the course of trade and in the trademark law sense and has applied it descriptively as a component part to a more complex mark which is in totality distinctive of the goods and services for which registration is sought. The whole controversy was answered by section 26 of the Trademarks Act which provides that the trademark application which incorporates matter that is, to the provision of services of the description or otherwise of a non-distinctive character qualifies for registration provided that it is appropriately disclaimed. The word itself is incapable of been considered as being distinctive in relation to the goods and services. Likewise any similarity between marks which depends solely upon such a word cannot act as being relevant confusing subject matter when considering a likelihood of confusion.

Counsel for the Appellant reiterated submissions that the Registrar had a duty to consider the trademarks as a whole in making an assessment of the issue of whether there was similarity between the marks.

The Appellant‘s Counsel submitted that the Appellants trademarks qualify for registration in their own right under Part B of the register on account of being appropriately disclaimed in accordance with section 26 of the Trademarks Act. The Assistant Registrar overlooked disclaimers. Section 10 (2) of the Trademarks Act provides that a trademark shall be registered in Part B of the register where it is capable of distinguishing services, or where the trademark is supposed to be registered subject to limitations in relation to use within the context of the registration. Section 19 of the Trademarks Act provides that where a trademark contains matters, the provision of services of that description or otherwise of non-distinctive character, the owner shall disclaim the right of exclusive usage to all or a portion of the trademark to which the proprietor is not entitled. Part B extends registration to marks which lack sufficient distinctiveness to be included in part A which requires inherent distinctiveness. The disclaimer
