Applicant:	HENCO SAL OFFSHORE 965 Sin el Fil beirut 1103 LÍBANO

The Office raised an objection on 21/12/2018 pursuant to Article 7(1)(b) and (c) EUTMR because it found that the trade mark applied for is not eligible for registration, for the reasons set out in the attached letter, which forms an integral part of this decision.

The relevant consumers would perceive the sign as providing information that the clothing, hats, shoes or sunglasses are of big size. Therefore, the sign describes the size of the goods in question.

The applicant failed to submit observations within the time limit. For the reasons set out in the letter of objection, and pursuant to Article 7(1)(b) and (c) EUTMR, the application for European Union trade mark No 017 976 001 is hereby rejected for all the goods/services claimed.

According to Article 67 EUTMR, you have a right to appeal against this decision. According to Article 68 EUTMR, notice of appeal must be filed in writing at the Office within two months of the date of notification of this decision. It must be filed in the language of the proceedings in which the decision subject to appeal was taken. Furthermore, a written statement of the grounds of appeal must be filed within four months of the same date. The notice of appeal will be deemed to be filed only when the appeal fee of EUR 720 has been paid.
