Pleas in law and main arguments
Applicant for the Community trade mark: The applicant
Community trade mark concerned: The figurative mark ‘milko ΔΕΛΤΑ’ for goods in class 30 (milk with cocoa) — application No 2 474 674
Proprietor of the mark or sign cited in the opposition proceedings: Kraft Foods Schweiz Holding AG
Mark or sign cited: The Community, international and national figurative marks and word marks ‘MILKA’ for goods in classes 5, 29, 30 and 32
Decision of the Opposition Division: Opposition upheld in its entirety
Decision of the Board of Appeal: Dismissal of the appeal
Pleas in law: Infringement of Article 8(1)(b) of Council Regulation No 40/94 as the obvious and large differences of the two marks are sufficient to exclude any likelihood of confusion. According to the applicant, the two conflicting trade marks create overall a very different visual, phonetic and conceptual impression, especially when taking the second word ‘ΔEΛTA’ into consideration.
