It was common ground that the Claimants had become aware of the VAGISAN products being sold in the UK in January 2014. However, Dr Wolff argued that, since the Claimants did not bring infringement proceedings until 2019, over five years later, they had acquiesced in its use of the VAGISAN mark, and therefore could not oppose that use under section 48(1) of the Trade Marks Act 1994 which provides a defence of statutory acquiescence in such circumstances. Overall, the judge held that there was a likelihood of confusion, owing to: (i) the low attentiveness of the average consumer and (ii) the marks being "very, very similar". The judge also separately found that there was evidence of actual confusion.

In light of the nature of the products, together with considerable evidence of actual consumer confusion between the competing signs, the High Court concluded that there was a risk of confusion between VAGISIL and VAGISAN, and also with DR WOLFF's VAGISAN. Court of Appeal Decision The High Court rejected Dr Wolff's reliance on this defence on the grounds that there had been no acquiescence by the Claimants in the use of the VAGISAN mark in the UK, and therefore VAGISAN was not a trade mark which would not be declared invalid. On appeal, the Court of Appeal allowed Dr Wolff to rely on an earlier version of this defence which applied prior to 14 January 2019.
