The applicant appealed a Trademarks Opposition Board decision dismissing its opposition to the respondent's trademark application for "THIS WAY TO CPA".
The applicant argued the mark was unregistrable because it too nearly resembled its official mark "CPA".
The Federal Court held the standard of review was palpable and overriding error and found no such error in the Board's conclusion that the words "THIS WAY TO" adequately distinguished the marks.
