Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant relied on Article 25(1)(e) EUDR and an earlier Romanian word mark 'Adina Alberts' for medical services.
- ›The holder requested proof of genuine use of the earlier mark for the relevant five-year period.
- ›The Division found the evidence showed public recognition of Dr Adina Alberts as a person, not trade mark use for medical services.
- ›Because genuine use was not proven, the Article 25(1)(e) ground failed and the invalidity application was rejected.
