    Action brought on 3 August 2006 — Delta Protypos Viomichania Galaktos v OHIM — Kraft Foods Schweiz Holding (milko ΔΕΛΤΑ)

    (Case T-204/06)

    (2006/C 224/107)

    Language in which the application was lodged: English

    Parties

    Applicant: Delta Protypos Viomichania Galaktos AE (Tavros, Greece) (represented by: P. Kanellopoulos, lawyer)

    Defendant: Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs)

    Other party to the proceedings before the Board of Appeal: Kraft Foods Schweiz Holding AG (Zürich, Switzerland)

    Form of order sought

    Annul the contested decision rendered by the Second Board of Appeal of the OHIM in its ruling No R0540/2005-2 dated June 8, 2006;

    dismiss the opposition No B 562 423 brought by Kraft Foods Schweiz Holding AG against the registration of the Community Trade mark ‘MILKO ΔEΛTA with design’ No 2 474 674;

    order that the Community Trade mark ‘MILKO ΔEΛTA with design’ No 2 474 674 of the applicant be accepted;

    order the OHIM to pay the costs.

    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.
