Legal grounds invoked
Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity under Article 25(1)(e) EUDR, arguing the contested logo reproduced its earlier international figurative trade mark and created a likelihood of confusion.
- ›The holder filed no observations and left the application undefended.
- ›The Division assessed the case on Article 25(1)(e) EUDR, found the goods/products identical, the signs visually similar and conceptually identical, and a likelihood of confusion for average EU consumers.
- ›The application succeeded on the earlier trade mark right, the design was declared invalid in full, and the remaining grounds were not examined.
