Decision of the Opposition Division: Rejected the opposition
Decision of the Board of Appeal: Dismissed the appeal
Pleas in law: Infringement of Article 8(1)(b) of Council Regulation 207/2009 as the Board of Appeal wrongly held that the trade marks concerned are not similar, that the goods and services in question are not similar and thus that there was no likelihood of confusion between the trade marks concerned.
