Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant relied on earlier Polish trade marks and alleged earlier copyright in 'Nalewka Babuni' labels to claim unauthorised use under Articles 25(1)(e) and 25(1)(f) CDR.
- ›The holder argued the key EUTM was not earlier, the Polish marks were unusable or dissimilar, and the applicant had not proven earlier enforceable copyright in the invoked labels.
- ›The Division found no likelihood of confusion with the valid earlier Polish mark because overlaps were confined to weak or secondary label elements and the signs were otherwise dissimilar.
- ›It also found the applicant had not sufficiently proven or shown unauthorised use of the invoked copyright works, so the invalidity application was rejected in full.
