Procee...Dear anonymous, thank you for your comment! Proceedings concerning the EUTM "Languiole", which reached the CJEU in case C-598/14 P, were based on the risk of confusion with prior rights (business name "Forge de Laguiole"), not on bad faith. Forge de Laguiole did file a request for invalidity against Mr. Szajner's EUTM "Laguiole" in 2019, this time based on bad faith. However, Forge de Laguiole did not attach any evidence to this request, so it was rejected. You can check it under "Decisions" here: https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/trademarks/002468379Anastasiia Kyrylenkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16041637255090469122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-15898817767848940362022-10-17T11:06:56.246+01:002022-10-17T11:06:56.246+01:00Why was the TM Laguiole not considered as a notori...Why was the TM Laguiole not considered as a notorious TM so that other domains for the same TM should not have been accepted. <br />There is no doubt that bad faith was also present when Szajner registered the TM at the EUIPO for anything but cutlery and scissors. A sheath for a Laguiole knife has as EU TM but was refused in France. Logic seems lacking somewhere. in my opinion at the CJEU. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
