Rule of thumb: What is the test for trade mark infringement/ passing off? You have to place yourself in the shoes of the average person (of average intelligence & awareness) and ask ‘yes’ or ‘no’ if you could be mixed up. If the answer is ‘yes’ then it is an infringement.

Judgment:

‘how the use of the sign would be perceived by the average customer of the type of goods in question’.
