    Applicant for a Community trade mark: Vinícola de Tomelloso S.C.L.

    Community trade mark concerned: Word mark TORRE DE GAZATE in respect of goods in Class 33 — Application No 1 632 017.

    Decision of the Board of Appeal: Appeal dismissed.

    Pleas in law: Infringement of Article 8(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 40/94 (1) because the word TORRE is a dominant component in the overall impression produced by the mark applied for, there are aural and visual similarities between the conflicting marks and there is a likelihood of confusion making it impossible for them to coexist on the market.
