    reject Community trade mark application No 3 378 643 as regards all goods in Class 25 (Clothing, footwear, headgear);

    order the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market to pay the costs.

    Applicant for a Community trade mark: Design for Woman SA

    Community trade mark concerned: The figurative mark ‘DEITECH ’for goods in Classes 18 and 25 (Application No 3 378 643)

    Proprietor of the mark or sign cited in the opposition proceedings: The applicant

    Mark or sign cited in opposition: The German figurative mark ‘DEI-tex ’for goods in Class 25 and the international figurative mark ‘DEI-tex ’for goods in Class 25, the opposition having been brought against registration in Class 25

    Decision of the Opposition Division: Rejection of the opposition

    Decision of the Board of Appeal: Dismissal of the appeal

    Pleas in law: Infringement of Article 43(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 40/94 (1), as the evidence submitted by the applicant was not regarded as sufficient proof of genuine use and infringement of Article 8(1)(b) of Regulation No 40/94 as there is a likelihood of confusion between the marks in opposition.
