Yоur client Phоenix Ventures hаs аpplied (withоut your аssistance) for registration of the following mark in the UK as a trade mark: PEACHY PRE-WORKOUT The specification of the trade mark application is “Protein drinks; sports supplements; vitamin pills; powdered nutritional supplement drink mix for human consumption; dietary supplement drink mixes in powdered form for human consumption” in class 5 and “Non-alcoholic beverages; mineral and aerated waters; preparations for making beverages, namely sports drinks and beverages” in class 32. Pre-workouts are drinks used by gym-goers prior to working-out, and provide the user with additional focus, energy and stamina.  They typically come in a powder format for making up by the user, but there are also ready-mixed “shots” and drinks on the market. Phoenix Ventures have received an objection from the UKIPO as follows: “Objection is raised under s.3(1)(b) and 3(1)(c) of the Act against all the goods.  The mark would merely indicate to the public that the product is a peach-flavoured pre-workout”. You client tells you the following:  The product has been on sale for 18 months and is a strong seller in the summer months, selling significantly more than other brands and flavours; It is one of the products in the client’s overarching PODIUM brand of products; Other products in the PODIUM range include: WHEY SO SOUR (a clear whey protein drink with a sour sherbet flavour) HONEY BEE-CAA’S (a honey-flavoured BCCA mineral supplement drink) LEAN AND LEMONY (a fat burning “gummy” with a lemon flavour) ORANGE-NRGY (an orange-flavoured energy drink) Your client says consumers of sports nutrition have come to recognise these fruity plays on words as their “thing”, and the word “peachy” can mean “really good”. They have put a lot of effort into promoting the PEACHY PRE-WORKOUT product online by way of the following: Sponsorship of key online influencers, who mention the brand extensively; Promotions online, including price promotion and special deals; “seeding” online gym forums with discussions about pre-workout recommendations where they mention the product Online adverts which attach to videos on YouTube about sports and nutrition. Your own research revealed the following registrations: PEACHY TEA for “non-alcoholic beverages”; PEACHY PATIO for “external disinfectants” PEACHY PIE for “confectionery” Your client has said that it really would prefer to get this registered as straightforwardly (by which he means cheaply) as possible, but that he is willing to spend a little more if need be as this is an important part of the collection.  He has only just received the objection, and there is another 6 weeks until the deadline to respond to the UKIPO expires. Please advise the client:  As to the correctness of the objection; What procedural and evidential options there are for disputing and overcoming the objection raised by the examiner? What other trade mark protection could be sought if the application is finally refused
