|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | 27/08/2026 | Aura Blockchain Consortium v AIAURA Group (AIAURA UNLOCKING HUMAN TALENT), UKIPO BL O/0784/26 | Adding “AI” did not avoid indirect confusion with the earlier AURA marks. The hearing officer treated “AI” as non-distinctive, if not descriptive, for the software goods and found that AIAURA could be perceived as an AI software sub-brand of the opponent. Opposition succeeded; registration refused, subject to any successful appeal; £1,000 costs. | |
| 8 | 10/08/2026 | ONEXRM Ltd v Karim Oualnan (SmartDraftr), UKIPO BL O/0710/26 | Opposition based on Smart:Draft partially succeeded against SmartDraftr. The hearing officer found the specified AI software similar to software for smart contracts, and a likelihood of direct confusion. Registration refused for the opposed AI software and specified legal services, subject to any successful appeal; other goods and services could proceed. £430 costs. | |
| 7 | 31/07/2026 | OpenAI OpCo, LLC v Beijing Knowledge Atlas Technology Joint Stock Company Limited (ChatGLM), UKIPO BL O/0690/26 | CHATGPT’s enhanced distinctiveness and UK reputation supported OpenAI’s opposition to ChatGLM. The opposition succeeded in full under section 5(3), including for goods and services found dissimilar under section 5(2)(b), because use would take unfair advantage of CHATGPT’s reputation. Registration refused in full, subject to any successful appeal; £1,600 costs. | |
