The final judgment of the case was delivered in February 2004 with the judge concluding that "there is no satisfactory proof that the same words "Gold Band" or "Bidco Gold Band" so nearly resemble the registered trade mark of the plaintiff's product (Blue Band)as to be likely to deceive or cause confusion in the minds of the public."<br />Therefore dear consumer it is up to you to be careful and vigilant when shopping to ensure you are not 'confused' by other 'similar' brands. Coping and counterfeits are real problems in the Kenyan market.City girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13933691573811140096noreply@blogger.com
