The Office raised an objection on 26/06/2017 pursuant to Article 7(1)(b) and (c) and 7(2) EUTMR because it found that the trade mark applied for is descriptive and devoid of any distinctive character, for the reasons set out in the attached letter.

The applicant informed the Office on 19/102017 that a request for conversion of the application into a national Swedish application had been filed. No other observations have been submitted within the time limit. Therefore, for the reasons set out in the letter of objection, and pursuant to Article 7(1)(b) and (c) and 7(2) EUTMR, the application for European Union trade mark No 016901506 is hereby rejected for all the goods claimed.
