It is my pleasure to welcome you to the latest bulletin from the field of trademarks. As in every quarter, we present the most interesting news in an engaging, easily understandable manner.
In this issue, we focus on the most important rulings issued recently by the General Court. I recommend in particular the article on the proof of the reputation of an earlier mark, in which the General Court presented a very interesting interpretation of Article 8 (5) of Regulation No. 207/2009. Also especially worth reading are the articles on the descriptive nature of trademarks (using the examples “Fitness” and “RESCUE”) and the rules for proving whether they are descriptive.
Please see full publication below for more information.
