Dispute Summary
The appeal challenged the registration of the trade mark 'Dora' (No. 252040) used by H. P. Textile Mills for hosiery goods. The appellants argued that 'Dora' is a common, generic word meaning thread or stripe and thus lacked distinctiveness. The court agreed that while the design acquired some distinctiveness, no monopoly should be granted over the word 'Dora' simpliciter.
