Office Freylinger announces with satisfaction the judgement of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 11 October 2017 opposing Cactus to the EUIPO (C-501/15P).
The case concerns an opposition against an EUTM application for a word mark ‘cactus of peace’ and ‘cactus de la paz’ based on earlier EUTM for word ‘cactus’ and a word/device EUTM for ‘Cactus ‘ held by Cactus, the Luxembourg’s main brand of supermarkets.
We will come back later to this decision, which provides an important clarification on the applicability of IP Translator.
