Details of the proceedings before EUIPO

Applicant of the trade mark at issue: Applicant

Trade mark at issue: EU figurative mark ‘Claro Sol Facility Services desde 1972’ — Application for registration No 13 318 993

Procedure before EUIPO: Opposition proceedings

Contested decision: Decision of the First Board of Appeal of EUIPO of 9 January 2017 in Case R 478/2016-1

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:

set aside the Decision of the First Board of Appeal of the European Union Intellectual Property Office of 9 January 2017 in Case R 478/2016-1, which partially upheld the appeal filed by Solemo Oy and partially annulled the decision ruling on opposition No. B 2472267, against the European Union trademark application No. 13.318.993 ‘Claro Sol Facility Services desde 1972’ property of the appellant, by virtue of which the said trademark has been entirely rejected in classes 37 and 39 and partially rejected in class 35;

grant the application for registration of the European Union trademark No. 13.318.993 ‘Claro Sol Facility Services desde 1972’ for all services covered in classes 35, 37 and 39, due to the lack of existence of likelihood of confusion on the part of the public in the territory in which the earlier national trademark, registered in Finland under No. 250.356 ‘SOL’, property of the intervener, is protected;

order the intervener to bear the costs of the procedure.

Plea in law

Infringement of Article 8(1)(b) of Regulation No 207/2009.
