Mummery LJ

An appeal with a hole in the middle

01 January 2008
In dismissing Nestlé's appeal against a decision rejecting its application for registration of the shape of its Polo mint as a trade mark, Mummery LJ is alleged to have uttered (though this utterance was not reported):

‘This is an appeal concerning Polos, the mint with the hole in the middle. This is an appeal with a hole in the middle. It is dismissed.’
