BioID OPINION PUBLISHED -- BUT NOT IN ENGLISH

Today's Opinion of the Advocate General in Case C-37/03 BioID AG v OHIM has been posted on the Curia website. Alas for the IPKat, it's not in English (it's only in seven of the EU's twenty official tongues). Off the top of this head, the IPKat seems to recall that the figurative mark BioID was earlier held unregistrable as a Community trade mark for biometric identity testing equipment, for want of distinctiveness. He'd love to know what the AG suggests the European Court of Justice should do.

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.
