—Annul the decision of the Second Board of Appeal of the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs) of 1 December 2009 in case R 529/2009-2; and
—Order the defendant to pay the costs incurred both in these proceedings and in the proceedings before it.
Applicant for the Community trade mark: The applicant
Community trade mark concerned: The word mark “GLÄNSA”, for goods in class 11
Proprietor of the mark or sign cited in the opposition proceedings: The other party to the proceedings before the Board of Appeal
Mark or sign cited: Community trade mark registration of the word mark “GLANZ”, for goods in classes 6, 9 and 11
Decision of the Opposition Division: Rejected the trade mark applied for in its entirety

Pleas in law: Infringement of Article 8(1)(b) of Council Regulation No 207/2009 as the Board of Appeal failed to make a correct global assessment and comparison of the trade marks concerned, thereby wrongly finding that these were similar and, as a result, that there was a likelihood of confusion between them.
