Pleas in law and main arguments
Registered Community trade mark subject of the application for a declaration of invalidity: The word mark ‘VISIONIC’ for goods in class 9
Proprietor of the Community trade mark: The other party to the proceedings before the Board of Appeal
Party requesting the declaration of invalidity of the Community trade mark: The applicant
Decision of the Cancellation Division: Partly upheld the request for a declaration of invalidity
Decision of the Board of Appeal: Allowed the appeal in case R 946/2007-2; Annulled the contested decision rejecting the cancellation request; Dismissed the appeal in case R 1151/2007-2.
Pleas in law: Infringement of Articles 52(3), 8(1)(b) of Council Regulation 40/94, as well as of general principles of trade mark law as the Board of Appeal wrongly ruled that the applicant gave its consent to the registration of the Community trade mark subject of the application for a declaration of invalidity and, as a result, failed to examine whether a likelihood of confusion between the trade marks concerned exists.
