Pleas in law and main arguments
Applicant for the Community trade mark: The other party to the proceedings before the Board of Appeal
Community trade mark concerned: The word mark “PUCCI”, for goods in classes 3, 9, 14, 18, 25 and 28
Proprietor of the mark or sign cited in the opposition proceedings: The applicant
Mark or sign cited: Spanish trade mark registrations of the figurative mark ‘Emidio Tucci’, for goods in classes 3, 9, 14, 25 and 28; Spanish trade mark registration of the word mark ‘E. Tucci’, for goods in class 25; Community trade mark application for the figurative mark ‘Emidio Tucci’, covering inter alia goods in classes 3, 9, 14, 25 and 28.
Decision of the Opposition Division: Rejected the opposition in its entirety
Decision of the Board of Appeal: Dismissed the appeal
Pleas in law: Infringement of Article 8(1)(b) of Council Regulation No 207/2009 as the Board of Appeal wrongly found that there was no likelihood of confusion between the trade marks concerned; infringement of Article 8(5) of Council Regulation No 207/2009 as the Board of Appeal failed to conclude that the conditions for the application of this provision are fulfilled, as the earlier trade marks enjoy reputation in Spain in respect of articles related to fashion and the use of a similar sign by a third party would be detrimental to and take unfair advantage of such a reputation.
