IPKAT TRANSLATION WATCH

-

Here is Case T-35/03 Aventis CropScience SA v OHIM. Of the 20 official languages of the European Union, this Court of First Instance decision is available in just one: Spanish. The case arises from an opposition to the registration of CARPO as a Community trade mark on the ground of confusing similarity with HARPO Z.

The IPKat earnestly begs anyone with some knowledge of Spanish to tell him (i) what this case decides and (ii) whether it contains any legal principle worth letting everyone know about.

    At the rescue of the IPKat:

    1) The Court of First Instance decides to dismiss the appeal (filed against a contrary opposition decision from OHIM) stating that CTM Appl. CARPO is not confusingly similar to previous Spanish registered trademark No. 1.731.865 HARPO Z, both of them in class 05 covering "preparations for destroying vermin, heribicides and fungicides"

    2) No legal principal worth of spreading, just a rutinary decision confiming OHIM's examination criterion when likelihood of confussion is not present among the marks notwithstanding the similar goods covered.

    My regards always to the lectured IPKat.

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.
