Biscuits Poult SAS v Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs) T-494/12, [2014] All ER (D) 65 (Sep)
The General Court of the European Union considered the applicant company’s appeal against a decision that a contested design for "cookies" was invalid.
The General Court held that, on the evidence, the Third Board of Appeal of the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs) had not erred in refusing to consider the internal appearance of the contested design, and accordingly the application would be dismissed.
