Form of order sought
|
— |
Annulment of the judgment of the Court of First Instance (Fourth Chamber) of 12 March 2008 in Case T-332/04 on the ground that the trade marks EL COTO/COTO DE IMAZ, on the one hand, and COTO D'ARCIS, on the other, are clearly compatible; |

Order for payment of costs. |
Pleas in law and main arguments
Challenge to the assessment of the Court of First Instance: Sebirán considers that the Community trade mark COTO D'ARCIS does not infringe the prohibition of Article 8(1)(b) of Regulation No 40/94 (1) since upon opposition of the proprietor of an earlier mark, in this case the Community marks EL COTO and COTO DE IMAZ, the refusal to register the most recent is not appropriate because it is sufficiently dissimilar, for the purposes of that prohibition, to the earlier marks, notwithstanding that the goods or services covered by both marks are identical or similar, considering the whole and not the separate components, when in addition there is no possibility of a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public of the whole territory of the European Union. The likelihood of confusion does not include the risk of association with the earlier mark.
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 40/94 of 20 December 1993 on the Community trade mark (OJ 1994 L 11, p. 1).
