A LOAD OF GAS, BUT NOT IN ENGLISH

-

The judgment of the Court of First Instance in Case T-115/03 Samar v OHIM (Grotto), has been posted on the European Court of Justice website today. Unfortunately, this exciting decision -- involving an application to register the word mark GAS STATION and what looks like an opposition involving a figurative mark containing the words BLUE JEANS GAS, is available in just eight of the 20 official languages.

Meanwhile the IPKat's translation watch sadly recalls the unfortunately-named Case T-348/02 Quick v OHIM, which is available in only five languages despite having been decided on 27 November 2003. A more promising case is Case T-399/02 Eurocermex v OHIM, decided on 29 April 2004 and already available in six languages.

Slow things here, here, here, here and here

    The more complaints I read about slow translations, the more I expect IPKat to announce it will learn another EC language. My vote goes to Hungarian! I'm quite happy with my native language, Dutch, though...

    putting to waste some good money that could have been used in other areas of development for the business involved.

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.
