Contested decision: Decision of the Second Board of Appeal of EUIPO of 16 November 2021 in Case R 2460/2020-2
The applicant claims that the Court should:
—annul the contested decision to the extent the opposition was upheld and European Union trade mark application No 12 565 974 was rejected and to reject the opposition in its entirety;
—order EUIPO to bear the costs of the proceedings.
—The Board of Appeal made an incorrect global assessment of the likelihood of confusion between the trade marks.
