Colorplus Fashions, an Indian corporation, applied for registration of the mark ColorPlus (stylized) in Thailand in Class 25 for apparel products. In examining the application, the Trademark Registrar determined that the word “colorplus” signifies colorful or high-quality colors, which is directly descriptive of the properties and/or characteristics of the applied goods. Correspondingly, the mark was refused for registration on the grounds of nondistinctiveness.
