Language of the case: German
Applicant: FunFactory GmbH (Bremen, Germany) (represented by K.-D. Franzen, lawyer)
Defendant: Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs)
The applicant claims that the Court should:
—annul the contested decision (R 1436/2011-4) of the Fourth Board of Appeal of OHIM of 19 January 2012;
—order OHIM to pay the costs of the proceedings, including those incurred in the proceedings before the Board of Appeal.
Community trade mark concerned: three-dimensional mark in the shape of a vibrator (application No 9 390 691) for goods in Class 10
Decision of the Examiner: refusal to register
Decision of the Board of Appeal: dismissal of the appeal
Pleas in law: incorrect interpretation and application of Article 7(1)(b) of Regulation No 207/2009, since the mark applied for is distinctive and is not descriptive of the goods in respect of which registration is sought. Infringement of the duty to state reasons laid down in Article 73(1) of Regulation No 207/2009 and of the right to be heard.
