    Decision of the Opposition Division: Uphold the opposition with respect to all the contested goods

    Decision of the Board of Appeal: Dismissal of the appeal

    Pleas in law: The Board of Appeal erred in its decision that the Opposition Division stated the reasons for its decision and, thus, that Article 73 of Council Regulation 40/94 was not breached; the Board of Appeal erred in its decision that there was a likelihood of confusion between the earlier trade marks and the trade mark applied for, in breach of general principles of trade marks law and, in particular, Article 8(1)(b) of Council Regulation 40/94.
