Потребителите в Англия и Франция разбират значението на думата COMPETITION. Поради това те могат да възприемат марката като хвалебствено изявление относно качеството на предлаганите продукти.
Съдът потвърждава това решение.
English version
The European Court ruled in Case T-550/14. The
case concerns the attempt of Volkswagen to register an European trademark COMPETITION in classes 12, 28, 35 and 37. OHIM rejected the trademark based on Article 7, paragraph 1 b of Regulation 207/2009. According to the Office the sign indicates a category of goods related
to competition and extreme conditions, as well as services for the
preparation of vehicles for competition.Consumers in Britain and France understand very well the meaning of the word COMPETITION. Therefore, they may perceive the mark as a laudatory statement about the quality of the relevant products.The court upheld that judgment.
