Pleas in law:
|
|
The applicant advances three pleas in law in support of its application. |
|
|
On the basis of its first plea, the applicant claims that the contested decision infringes Article 8(1)(b) of Council Regulation No 207/2009, as the Board of Appeal wrongly assessed the similarity of the goods and services. |
|
|
By its second plea, the applicant considers that the contested decision infringes Rule 99 of Commission Regulation No 2868/95 implementing Council Regulation No 40/94, as the Board of Appeal incorrectly assumed that the translation of an earlier right corresponded to the relevant original. |
|
|
By its third plea, the applicant claims that the contested decision infringes the principles of the protection of legitimate expectations, equal treatment and legality. |
