VITAKRAFT and NLSPORT UP FOR APPEAL


According to the ECJ diary, the European Court of Justice's Court of First Instance should be giving the following judgments on Wednesday morning:

* Case T-356/02 Vitakraft-Werke Wührmann v OHIM - Krafft. This appeal arises from OHIM's decision to allow the registration of VITAKRAFT as a Community trade mark for products in Classes 1, 3, 4, 12 and 19, notwithstanding the existence of an earlier national word and figurative mark "krafft" for goods in the same classes.

* Joined Cases T-117/03, T-118/03, T-119/03, T-171/03 New Look v OHIM - Naulover. This appeal arises from OHIM's decision to allow the registration of the figurative mark NLSPORT as a Community trade mark for products in Classes 3, 14, 18 and 25, notwithstanding the existence of the earlier Community figurative mark "NL" for goods in Class 25.

The IPKat's tip: both appeals will be dismissed so far as the issue of likelihood of confusion is concerned.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
