The Facts
The applicant applied for the mark GNR CAMPING WORLD &
Design (Mark) for use in association with recreational vehicles and
related parts and accessories and retail sales and related services
for recreational vehicles. The application was based on use of the
Mark since at least as early as July 24, 2008, in association with
the goods, and since at least as early as May 3, 2007, in
association with the services.
The application was opposed on the basis that the applicant had
not used the Mark with each good and service listed in the
application as of the claimed dates of first use. In addition, it
was alleged the mark was confusing with the registered trademark
CAMPING WORLD DESIGN owned by the opponent.
