Form of order sought

Set aside the judgment of the General Court of the European Union of 16 May 2011 in Case T-145/08;

Annul the decision of the First Board of Appeal of the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs) of 24 January 2008 (Case R 1023/2007-1);

Order the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs) (OHIM) to pay the costs of both legal proceedings.

Pleas in law and main arguments

By the contested decision, OHIM and the General Court infringed the third sentence of Article 59 of the Regulation on the Community trade mark (old version) which governs the obligation to state the grounds of appeal. By the contested decision, OHIM and the General Court also infringed Article 60 of the Regulation on the Community trade mark in conjunction also with Rule 20(7) of the Regulation implementing the Regulation on the Community trade mark, as well as established legal principles of the Member States. The proceedings before OHIM should imperatively have been stayed, meaning that the time-limit for bringing the appeal has not yet expired.
