schestowitz[TR]It does not seem confusing to me.  The dominant part of the trade mark was iCOLLEGE.  Only the word &quot;college&quot; was disclaimed.  That means that the owner could not take action to prevent the use of the non-distinctive word &quot;college&quot; in other contexts, e.g. PRETORIA COLLEGE.  It does not mean that the word &quot;college&quot; must be ignored completely, thereby treating the registered trade mark as though it consisJun 22 17:58
schestowitz[TR]ted solely of the letter &quot;i&quot;.<br /><br />What is distinctive in the trade mark is that the word &quot;COLLEGE&quot; is prefixed with the letter &quot;i&quot;.  The infringer used exactly the same combination.Jun 22 17:58

schestowitz[TR]It is amazing that some Boards of Appeal violate their Rules of Procedure which specifies in  Article 21(Deviation from an earlier decision or opinion of the Enlarged Board of Appeal): “Should a Board consider it necessary to deviate from an interpretation or explanation of the Convention contained in an earlier decision or opinion of the Enlarged Board of Appeal according to Article 112, paragraph 1, EPC, the question shall be reJun 22 17:59
schestowitz[TR]ferred to the Enlarged Board of Appeal.”<br />Rather than following the Enlarged Boards finding in G 1/21 that in-person proceedings are the gold standard and that good, case-specific reasons should be given if deviating from that and moving to vico, these Boards simply ignore this key element of G 1/21 and proceed in th opposite direction. Art. 21 RPBA2020 however required them to either follow G 1/21 or to refer to the Enlarged Jun 22 17:59
schestowitz[TR]Board for a new decision.<br />It is not just one Board in one decision, but multiple Boards in multiple decisions that violate Art.21 RPBA2020, and it seems that the President of the Boards is not even pointing them to the RPBA2020 (to which the Boards are bound)!<br />How long can this unlawful practice continue?Jun 22 17:59
