The Office raised an objection on 20/05/2020 pursuant to Article 7(1)(b), (c) and Article 7(2) 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.

In the present case, the relevant consumers would perceive the sign as providing information that the applicant sells software that is for calling two groups of organized

workers that work together at the same time. Therefore, the sign describes the kind,

quality, intended purpose, value of the goods and services 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), (c) and Article 7(2) EUTMR, the application for European Union trade mark No 18 236 420 is hereby rejected for the following goods and services:

Class 9 Unified communications software.

Class 38 Voice over Internet Protocol [VoIP] services; Voice over Internet Protocol [VoIP] communication services; Telecommunication services.

The application may proceed for the remaining services:

Class 42 Cloud computing services.
