    The applicant claims that the Court should:

    Annul the decision of the Fourth Board of Appeal of 4 March 2011 in Case R 2041/2010-4 relating to Community trade mark application No 008 423 626 (figurative mark);

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

    Pleas in law and main arguments

    Decision of the Board of Appeal: Dismissal of the appeal

    Pleas in law: Infringement of Article 7(1)(b) in conjunction with Article 7(2) of Regulation No 207/2009, as the Community trade mark at issue has distinctive character, and infringement of Articles 75 and 76 of Regulation No 207/2009, as the Board of Appeal did not examine the extensive factual and legal submissions of the applicant.
