CFI WORKS IT OUT


Controversy hits OHIM. Oreste Montalto applied for a position as the president of a new department at OHIM composed of the appeal chambers, scientific services and stenographic services. There were 100 applicants for the position, including the claimant, Oreste Montalto. Although M. Montalto made it to the shortlist, he was not one of the final 3 considered by the OHIM Administrative Council and approved by the Council of Ministers. The decision of who should be in the final 3 was taken by Mercuri Urval A/S, an external recruitment agency.

M. Montalto challenged the way the competition for the vacancy was run before the CFI alleging:

1. non-respect of the official selection procedure
2. violation of the principle of equal treatment and
3. insufficient reasons were given

Although M. Montalto did not win the entirety of his case, the decision of the Council of Ministers nominating the president of the new department was annulled.

The IPKat apologises for this rather sketchy nature of this post. However, the decision is only available in French at the moment. He wishes to thank Daphne Zografos of QMIPRI for her help in understanding this case.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
