Pleas in law and main arguments
The applicant submits that the contested decision of the Court of First Instance is based on a misinterpretation of the statutory requirement of trade mark similarity according to article 8(1)(b) of Council regulation (EC) no 40/94 (1) of 20 December 1993 on the Community trade mark (hereinafter ‘CMTR’). The applicant also submits that the failure of the Court of First Instance to consider the question of trade mark similarity from the point of view of the English-speaking public constitutes a violation of an essential procedural requirement within the meaning of article 63(2) CTMR.
