Nor would anyone wish to use this term in relation to the goods. The word SEAL does not appear in any dictionaries as having a meaning in the medical field. The combination of words would not be understood by the relevant users as referring to the prevention of haemorrhaging. Competitors have no legitimate interest in employing such a combination of words. The mark has no self-explanatory or unequivocal meaning which clearly refers to the goods.
Traders have a legitimate interest in using suggestive marks as opposed to merely descriptive marks.
The claimed mark is unusual and sufficiently inventive since it is a combination of arbitrary, imaginative and inventive elements. The goods in question may be used to retard or stem the flow of blood for instance during surgery. It is not necessary for a term to exist in a dictionary in order for it to be found descriptive. The merger of two common words, by simply omitting the space or hyphen between them, does not necessarily give rise to an invented word. Assessment must be made of the mark's overall impression.
