4.3.1 Device marks

Up one level

The idea of a mark is particularly relevant for devices. In I & R Morley v Macky Logan Caldwell Ltd19 an existing mark of a wheel and wings had become known as the ‘flying wheel brand’. A later-filed mark comprising a circle with winged projections was held to have the same idea, and registration of the later mark was refused.
