3. Each party bears its own costs.




REASONS:


The opponent filed an opposition against all the goods and services of Community trade mark application No 011467909. The opposition is based on, inter alia, international trade mark registration No 979 365, designating the European Union. The opponent invoked Article 8(1)(b) CTMR.


On 01/09/2014 the Opposition Division rendered a decision which resulted in the partial rejection of the opposition on the grounds that there was no likelihood of confusion for the dissimilar contested goods and services.


The decision was appealed and the Board of Appeal decided in case R 2793/2014‑5 on 05/01/2016. The Board’s decision annulled the contested decision and remitted the case to the Opposition Division for further prosecution. The Board firstly noted that the contested decision was extremely lengthy as it involved a very long list of goods and services. The Board considered that the outcome with regard to Class 35 did not follow the same order in which the services are listed nor the order in which they are compared. It criticized that it was not easy to identify the services for which the opposition was allowed and for which contested decision was rejected. Consequently, the Board found the contested decision to be in breach of Article 75 CTMR.



LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION – ARTICLE 8(1)(b) CTMR


A likelihood of confusion exists if there is a risk that the public might believe that the goods or services in question, under the assumption that they bear the marks in question, come from the same undertaking or, as the case may be, from economically‑linked undertakings. Whether a likelihood of confusion exists depends on the appreciation in a global assessment of several factors, which are interdependent. These factors include the similarity of the signs, the similarity of the goods and services, the distinctiveness of the earlier mark, the distinctive and dominant elements of the conflicting signs and the relevant public.


The opposition is based on more than one earlier trade mark. For reasons of procedural economy, the Opposition Division will first examine the opposition in relation to earlier international trade mark No 979 365.

It was filed (registered) on 24/01/2008. According to Communication No 2/12 of the President of the Office of 20/06/2012, as regards Community trade marks filed before 21/06/2012, the Office considers that the intention of the applicant was to cover all the goods or services included in the alphabetical list of the classes concerned in the edition of the Nice Classification in force at the time when the filing was made, in this case the 9th edition. This is also applicable to international registrations designating the European Union.


In the case of Classes 3, 11, 12, 18, 20, 24, 25, the Opposition Division has identified the following items in the alphabetical lists covered by the earlier international registration that do not fall within the natural and usual meaning of these general indications:

Therefore, as regards these classes, the contested goods and services will be compared with both the general indications, items specified and the items listed above.


Further, an interpretation of the wording of the list of goods is required to determine the scope of protection of these goods. The term in particular, used in the opponents list of goods, indicates that the specific goods are only examples of items included in the category and that protection is not restricted to them. In other words, it introduces a non-exhaustive list of examples (on the use of ‘in particular’ see a reference in judgment of 09/04/2003, T‑224/01, ‘Nu‑Tride’).


The relevant factors relating to the comparison of the goods or services include, inter alia, the nature and purpose of the goods or services, the distribution channels, the sales outlets, the producers, the method of use and whether they are in competition with each other or complementary to each other.



Contested goods in Class 3


The contested goods in this class fall under one of the following categories: bleaching preparations and other substances for laundry use; cleaning, polishing, scouring and abrasive preparations; soaps; perfumery, essential oils, cosmetics, hair lotions; dentifrices, tailors’ and cobblers’ wax. They are identical to the opponent’s bleaching preparations and other substances for laundry use; cleaning, polishing, scouring and abrasive preparations; soaps; perfumery, essential oils, cosmetics, hair lotions; dentifrices and the items in the alphabetical list of Class 3 that do not fall within the natural and usual meaning of the general indications, listed above, either because they appear identically in both lists (including synonyms) or because the goods of the earlier right are included in or overlap with the contested goods or vice versa.



Contested goods in Class 5


The contested pharmaceutical and veterinary preparations; sanitary preparations for medical purposes; dietetic substances adapted for medical use, food for babies; plasters, materials for dressings; disinfectants; preparations for destroying vermin are included in both specifications and are therefore identical.


The contested dietetic food adapted for medical or veterinary use dietetic substances adapted for veterinary use; dietary supplements for humans and animals overlap with or are covered by the opponent’s dietetic substances adapted for medical use, dietetic foods for health care on the basis of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, either alone or in combination. Therefore, they are identical.


The contested fungicides are antimycotics which have an application in the medical field. These are fungicidal pharmaceutical preparations. Therefore, it is impossible to filter these goods from the broad category of fungicides and pharmaceutical preparations. Since the Office cannot dissect ex officio the broad categories of the conflicting goods, they are considered identical.


The contested herbicides are chemical substances used to destroy or inhibit the growth of plants, especially weeds. Said products present a high degree of similarity to the opponent’s preparations for destroying vermin as they have the same purpose. They can coincide in producer, end user and distribution channels.

They are identical to the opponent’s clothing, footwear, headgear and the items in the alphabetical list of Class 25 that do not fall within the natural and usual meaning of the general indications, listed above, either because they appear identically in both lists (including synonyms) or because the goods of the earlier right are included in or overlap with the contested goods or vice versa.



Contested goods in Class 27


The contested carpets, rugs, mats and matting, linoleum and other materials for covering existing floors; wall hangings (non-textile); artificial turf; automobile carpets; bath mats; carpet underlay; door mats; floor coverings; gymnasium mats; linoleum; mats; mats of woven rope for ski slopes; non-slip mats; reed mats; rugs; textile wallpaper; vinyl floor coverings; wall hangings, not of textile; wallpaper; play mats; exercise mats; yoga mats; birthing mats; parts and fittings for all the aforesaid have some aspects in common with the opponent’s furniture in Class 20 or gymnastic and sporting articles in Class 28. The goods under comparison may share the same intended purpose (namely that of furnishing and decorating home as carpets, rugs, mats, various materials for covering floors, non-textile wall hangings and furniture are often matched to harmonise the overall appearance of the house). Furthermore, they can coincide in end user and distribution channels. Therefore, it is considered that these goods are similar to various degrees.



Contested goods in Class 28


The contested goods in this class fall under one of the following categories: games and playthings; gymnastic and sporting articles not included in other classes; decorations for Christmas trees; festive decorations and accessories and fairground ride apparatus.


The contested games and playthings; gymnastic and sporting articles not included in other classes (albeit in a slightly different wording) are included in both specifications and are therefore identical.


The contested goods falling into the category of games and playthings; gymnastic and sporting articles not included in other classes are identical to the opponent’s games and playthings; gymnastic and sporting articles, because they are covered by or overlap with these opponent’s goods.

The contested goods falling into the category of decorations for Christmas trees (e.g. ornaments for Christmas trees, except illumination articles and confectionery, candle holders for Christmas trees) and some of the contested goods falling into category of festive decorations and accessories, namely Christmas tree stands; Christmas trees of synthetic material have some points of connection with the opponent’s goods (not included in other classes) of wood, cork, reed, cane, wicker, horn, bone, ivory, whalebone, shell, amber, mother-of-pearl, meerschaum and substitutes for all these materials, or of plastics in Class 20, as the opponent’s goods include home decorative objects such as figurines, statuettes, mobiles for decoration of these materials. Considering the various materials of the opponent’s goods and the diverse appearance of decorations for Christmas trees, the nature of the goods is similar. Moreover, they share the purpose of decorating the household, target the same end users and are likely to be found in the same interior design shops or in the same parts of department stores. Therefore, and despite the fact that decorations for Christmas trees, Christmas tree stands; Christmas trees are in principle used in a specific time of the year, there is a low degree of similarity with the abovementioned opponent’s goods.


The remaining contested goods falling into category of festive decorations and accessories, namely confetti; novelties for parties, dances [party favors, favours]; paper party hats, balloons are considered to be similar to the opponent’s goods made from paper in Class 16. Confetti refers to small, (usually) rounded discs of coloured paper that are thrown at a bride and bridegroom at weddings for example, whereas novelties for parties, dances [party favors, favours]; paper party hats encompasses a number of goods such as party invitations or cards, hats, crackers, party decorations and tableware as well as a multitude of items given to party goers. All these items usually are or can be made from paper. Therefore, the goods under comparison can share the same nature, be sold through the same distribution channels and can derive from the same undertakings. They can also be aimed at the same consumer.


The contested fairground ride apparatus is a large mechanical device or structure found in amusement parks that moves people to create enjoyment. It is dissimilar to any of the opponent’s goods in all the classes. The goods in question differ in nature and purpose. They are not distributed through the same channels and are usually provided by different companies. They are neither complementary nor in competition.


As regards the contested parts and fittings for all the aforesaid goods, some of these goods have been compared above and the remaining ones, namely parts and fittings for the contested goods that have been found to be identical or similar to the earlier goods, are considered at least similar to a low degree to the same respective goods. This is because, they may be distributed through the same distribution channels and target the same end users or be produced by the same companies. As regards the contested parts and fittings for fairground ride apparatus, they are considered to be dissimilar to the opponent’s goods in all the classes, as they have no relevant aspects in common.

The contested retail and online services in connection with the sale of the goods referred to in this section are dissimilar to the opponent’s goods in all the classes. They differ in their nature and purpose. They are neither complementary nor in competition. Finally, they do not share the same distribution channels and their producers or providers do not coincide.


(4)

The contested services ‘the bringing together, for the benefit of others, of a variety of specific goods, enabling customers to conveniently view and purchase those goods from a supermarket or hypermarket or mini-market or from a general merchandise catalogue by mail order, or by means of telecommunications or from a general merchandise Internet websiteare broadly speaking retail services. Therefore, the reasoning of point (2) applies, namely that retail services concerning the sale of particular goods are similar to a low degree to these particular goods.


Consequently, the contested the bringing together, for the benefit of others, of a variety of clothing, footwear, headgear, paper goods, printed matter, leather goods, luggage, bags, travel goods, goods for carrying and transporting babies, infants and children, furniture, furnishings, textiles, games, toys, games, playthings, sporting articles, foods and drink and other goods for human consumption or for making goods for human consumption, non-alcoholic beverages, health and beauty articles, toiletries, cosmetics, baby articles, baby feeding apparatus and instruments, maternity apparatus and instruments, feminine hygiene products, cleaning articles, laundry articles, pharmacy goods, machines and equipment for household use, cleaning apparatus, lighting apparatus and instruments, heating apparatus and instruments, cooking apparatus and instruments, refrigerating apparatus and instruments, kitchenware, hand tools, cutlery, photographic equipment, domestic electrical and electronic equipment including white goods, household goods, household containers and utensils, kitchenware, do-it-yourself equipment, gardening equipment, enabling customers to conveniently view and purchase those goods from a supermarket or hypermarket or mini-market or from a general merchandise catalogue by mail order, or by means of telecommunications or from a general merchandise Internet website are similar to a low degree to the following opponent’s goods: clothing, footwear, headgear (in Class 25), goods made from paper these materials, printed matter (in Class 16), goods made of leather and imitations of leather; trunks and travelling bags; child carrying bags (in Class 18), furniture, goods (not included in other classes) of wood, cork, reed, cane, wicker, horn, bone, ivory, whalebone, shell, amber, mother-of-pearl, meerschaum and substitutes for all these materials, or of plastics (Class 20) textiles and textile goods (in Class 24), games and playthings; gymnastic and sporting articles (in Class 28), the goods in Class 29, non-alcoholic drinks (in Class 32), bleaching preparations and other substances for laundry use, cosmetics (in Class 3), medical apparatus and instruments, baby bottles; bottle nipples; biting rings; milk pumps (in Class 10), pharmaceutical preparations; sanitary preparations for medical purposes (in Class 5), household or kitchen utensils and containers, articles for cleaning purposes (in Class 21), hand tools and implements (hand-operated), cutlery (in Class 8), apparatus for lighting, heating, cooking, refrigerating, drying, ventilating, water supply and sanitary purposes (Class 11), photographic apparatus and instruments (in Class 9).


(5)

However, the condition to find a low degree of similarity between the retail services of specific goods covered by the contested mark and specific goods covered by the earlier mark, namely the identity between the retailed goods and the specific goods is not fulfilled for the contested bringing together, for the benefit of others, of a variety of fashion accessories, jewellery, horological goods, chronometric goods, carpets, rug, alcoholic beverages, hardware and metal goods, enabling customers to conveniently view and purchase those goods from a supermarket or hypermarket or mini-market or from a general merchandise catalogue by mail order, or by means of telecommunications or from a general merchandise Internet website.


Consequently, these contested services are dissimilar to all the opponent’s goods in all the classes. They differ in their nature, and purpose. They are neither complementary nor in competition. Finally, they do not share the same distribution channels and their producers or providers do not coincide.


(6)

The remaining contested services in Class 35, namely provision of information to customers and advice or assistance in the selection of goods brought together as above, advertising and promotional services, dissemination of advertising and promotional materials, direct mail advertising services, market research and marketing services, distribution of samples, shop window dressing, accounting commercial administration of the licensing of the goods and services of others, commercial information and advice for consumers (consumer advice shop), employment agencies; telephone answering for unavailable subscribers; payroll preparation; price comparison services; presentation of goods on communication media, for retail purposes; rental of advertising space; rental of photocopy and vending machines; business management; management of a retail store and or supermarket; cost price analysis; information, advisory and consultancy services relating to the aforesaid are also dissimilar to the opponent’s goods in all the classes since they have no relevant aspects in common. They differ in their nature and purpose. They are neither complementary nor in competition with each other.

Contested services in Class 41


The contested education; providing of training, as well as goods falling under these categories, namely academies [education]; animal training; arranging and conducting of colloquiums; arranging and conducting of conferences; arranging and conducting of congresses; arranging and conducting of seminars; arranging and conducting of symposiums; arranging and conducting of workshops [training]; boarding schools; coaching [training]; correspondence courses; education information; educational examination; nursery schools; physical education; practical training [demonstration]; religious education; tuition; vocational guidance [education or training advice]; vocational retraining are similar to the opponent’s printed matter (in Class 16). The goods and services under comparison may be complementary. They are aimed at the same consumers and may be provided through the same distribution channels. Moreover, companies, which offer training or educational services often produce various printed matter, including publications, instructional and teaching publication, accompanying a course themselves and make this available to the trainees.


The contested bookmobile services, lending libraries are similar to a low degree to the opponent’s printed matter (in Class 16) as they can be complementary. Moreover, they target the same relevant public and may be provided through the same distribution channels.


The remaining contested goods in Class 41, namely entertainment; sporting and cultural activities; amusement parks; amusements; arranging and conducting of concerts; arranging of beauty contests; booking of seats for shows; calligraphy services; casino facilities [gambling] (providing -); cinema presentations; circuses; club services [entertainment or education]; conducting fitness classes; disc jockey services; discotheque services; dubbing; electronic desktop publishing; entertainer services; entertainment information; fashion shows for entertainment purposes (organization of -); film production, other than advertising films; gambling; game services provided on-line from a computer network; games equipment rental; golf facilities (providing -); gymnastic instruction; health club services [health and fitness training]; holiday camp services [entertainment]; language interpreter services; layout services, other than for advertising purposes; live performances (presentation of -); microfilming; modelling for artists; movie studios; museum facilities (providing -) [presentation, exhibitions]; music composition services; music-halls; news reporters services; night clubs; operating lotteries; orchestra services; organization of balls; organization of competitions [education or entertainment]; organization of exhibitions for cultural or educational purposes; organization of shows [impresario services]; organization of sports competitions; party planning [entertainment]; personal trainer services [fitness training]; photographic reporting; photography; production of music; production of radio and television programmes; production of shows; providing amusement arcade services; providing karaoke services; providing on-line electronic publications, not downloadable; providing sports facilities; publication of books; publication of electronic books and journals on-line; publication of texts, other than publicity texts; radio entertainment; recording studio services; recreation facilities (providing -); recreation information; rental of audio equipment; rental of camcorders; rental of cine-films; rental of lighting apparatus for theatrical sets or television studios; rental of movie projectors and accessories; rental of radio and television sets; rental of show scenery; rental of skin diving equipment; rental of sound recordings; rental of sports equipment, except vehicles; rental of sports grounds; rental of stadium facilities; rental of stage scenery; rental of tennis courts; rental of video cassette recorders; rental of videotapes; scriptwriting services; sign language interpretation; sport camp services; subtitling; television entertainment; theatre productions; ticket agency services [entertainment]; timing of sports events; toy rental; translation; videotape editing; videotape film production; videotaping; writing of texts, other than publicity texts; zoological garden services; education services relating to health; provision of training in the field of health care and nutrition; provision of training in the field of pregnancy and baby care; information, advisory and consultancy services relating to the aforesaid as well as information, advisory and consultancy services relating to academies [education]; animal training; arranging and conducting of colloquiums; arranging and conducting of conferences; arranging and conducting of congresses; arranging and conducting of seminars; arranging and conducting of symposiums; arranging and conducting of workshops [training]; boarding schools; bookmobile services; coaching [training]; correspondence courses; education information; educational examination; lending libraries; nursery schools; physical education; practical training [demonstration]; religious education; tuition; vocational guidance [education or training advice]; vocational retraining are dissimilar from all the goods covered by the earlier mark. Besides having a different nature and purpose, they also differ in their producers and distribution channels. Furthermore, they are neither complementary nor in competition.



Contested services in Class 44


The contested medical services, dentistry, plastic surgery, information, advisory and consultancy services relating to the aforesaid are similar to a low degree to the opponent’s surgical, medical, dental apparatus and instruments, orthopaedic articles in Class 10, as they have the same purpose, that is to improve people’s or animals’ health, they can have the same end users and they are complementary (see judgment of 18/10/2007, T-425/03, ‘AMS Advanced Medical Services /AMS et al.’, paragraph 60). The same reasoning applies when comparing the contested veterinary services, veterinary assistance, opticians' services, information, advisory and consultancy services relating to the aforesaid to the opponent’s orthopaedic articles and medical apparatus and instruments, in Class 10, to the extent that the later include veterinary and optical apparatus and instruments. Consequently, the abovementioned goods are considered similar to a low degree.


The contested hygienic and beauty care for human beings, aromatherapy services, beauty salons, hairdressing salons, health spa services; manicuring; massage; public baths for hygiene purposes; sauna services; solarium services; therapy services; Turkish baths; visagists' services, information, advisory and consultancy services relating to the aforesaid are similar to the opponent’s cosmetics, essential oils, body care preparations, shampoos in Class 3, as they have the same purpose, namely to improve people’s appearance and hygiene and target the same relevant public. Furthermore, the goods and services at issue may have the same distribution channels. The undertakings providing the contested services, such as wellness and beauty centres, hair salons may also offer ‘beauty products’ to their clients, as it is common practice for these establishments to sell various products for further home treatments. These products can be the same as those already applied during a beauty session in one of these centres. Moreover, the goods and services are complementary to each other, as it can be necessary to use the opponent’s products to perform the contested services.


Similar reasoning applies when comparing the contested hygienic and beauty care for animals, animal grooming, pet grooming, information, advisory and consultancy services relating to the aforesaid to the opponent’s cosmetics, shampoos in Class 3; in fact, cosmetics, shampoos are products that can be employed for animal care. It follows that the goods and the contested services have the same purpose (to improve animals’ appearance and hygiene) and they are complementary to each other, as the opponent’s products are necessary to provide the applicant’s services. Moreover, they target the same relevant public and may have the same distribution channels. Therefore, the goods and services under comparison are similar.


The contested agriculture, horticulture and forestry services, aquaculture services, gardening, landscape gardening, tree planting for carbon offsetting purposes; aerial and surface spreading of fertilizers and other agricultural chemicals, lawn care, vermin exterminating for agriculture, horticulture and forestry; plant nurseries; weed killing, information, advisory and consultancy services relating to the aforesaid are similar to a low degree to the opponent’s preparations for destroying vermin in Class 5, as they share the same purpose and are complementary. Moreover, they are likely to be provided (distributed) through the same distribution channels and target the same relevant public.


The contested pharmacists' services to make up prescriptions; pharmacy advice, information, advisory and consultancy services relating to the aforesaid are similar to a low degree to the opponent’s pharmaceutical and veterinary preparations in Class 5 as these goods are complementary, they target the same relevant public and are provided through the same distribution channels. Indeed, the applicant’s services can be rendered in the same stores where the opponent’s goods are sold, namely pharmacies.


The remaining contested services, namely artificial insemination services; blood bank services; chiropractics; hair implantation; in vitro fertilization services; health care; health centers; hospices; hospitals; medical assistance; medical clinic services; midwife services; nursing homes; nursing, medical; physiotherapy; rehabilitation for substance abuse patients, telemedicine services; advisory services relating to health; providing healthcare information relating to health, pregnancy and parenting; rest homes; sanatoriums, information, advisory and consultancy services relating to the aforesaid, mostly consist of or relate to medical services, intended to improve the health of patients. These services are considered to be similar to a low degree to the opponent’s medical apparatus and instruments or orthopedic articles in Class 10. The services are, unlike the goods, intangible and have a different nature but, nevertheless, both serve the same purpose: to facilitate the better health of the relevant public. Furthermore, the goods at issue are complementary to the contested services and can target the same end users.


The contested medical equipment rental, information, advisory and consultancy services relating to the aforesaid are similar to various degrees to the opponent’s surgical, medical apparatus and instruments in Class 10. It is not unusual for an undertaking manufacturing these goods to rent this equipment on a temporary basis, for example in the case of a very special type of surgery where specialised equipment is needed. The goods and services under comparison also target the same public.


The contested psychologist (services of a -), information, advisory and consultancy services relating to the aforesaid are considered to be dissimilar to all the goods covered by the earlier trade mark on which the opposition is based. The services in question consist of a particular type of medical service, concerned with the mental health of patients and rendered by specialised professionals. Although the general purpose of health care for humans is the same in relation to some of the earlier goods, the goods and services under comparison differ substantially. It is not likely that the professional providing the relevant services will also manufacture any of the opponent’s earlier goods. Furthermore, the goods and services are neither complementary nor in competition with each other. They also differ in nature and target different consumers.


The remaining contested services, namely animal breeding; farming equipment rental; flower arranging; landscape design; rental of sanitation facilities; tattooing, tree surgery; wreath making; information, advisory and consultancy services relating to the aforesaid have a different nature and purpose from the opponent’s goods in the classes. They are offered by different companies and are offered to consumers with different needs. Furthermore, they are neither complementary nor in competition with each other. Therefore, they are dissimilar.



  1. The signs



Baby Love



Earlier trade mark


Contested sign


The relevant territory is the European Union.


For reasons of procedural economy, the Opposition Division will focus the comparison of the signs on the non-English speaking part of the relevant public.


Visually, the earlier sign is a word mark, composed of the words ‘Baby Love’, presented in a title case. In the case of word marks it is irrelevant for the purpose of the visual comparison whether they are represented in upper or lower-case letters. The contested mark is a figurative mark composed of the words ‘loves’, written in slightly stylised white lower-case characters, and ‘BABY’, written in rather standard white upper-case characters, both verbal elements being placed one above the other against the red background in a shape of a heart, containing a white line also forming a shape of a heart joined with the letter ‘l’.


The signs coincide in the word ‘BABY’, constituting an independent word, and the letters ‘LOVE’ of the remaining word in each sign, even though these words are placed differently in the signs. However, they differ in the additional elements in the contested sign, namely the letter ‘s’ at the end of the word ‘loves’, the stylisation and colours of the common letters and the additional figurative elements described above.


Aurally, irrespective of the different pronunciation rules in different parts of the relevant territory the pronunciation of the signs coincides in the sound of the common word ‘BABY’ and in the sound of the letters ‘LOVE’ (in the word ‘Love’ of the earlier mark and ‘loves’ of the contested sign), and to that extent the signs are aurally similar. The pronunciation differs in the sound of the additional letter ‘s’ in the end of the contested sign’s word ‘loves’ as well as in the fact that words containing the coinciding sounds will be pronounced in reverse order.


Conceptually, the relevant part of the public who are not familiar with English will still understand the very basic and widely used English words ‘BABY’, ‘LOVE’ and ‘LOVES’ as referring to nouns meaning respectively ‘a newborn or recently born child, infant’ and ‘an intense emotion of affection, warmth, fondness, and regard towards a person or thing(Collins English Dictionary). The word ‘loves’ in the contested sign may be associated with the plural form of the latter noun or as the verb meaning ‘to have a great attachment to and affection for’ (third person singular form). The contested sign’s background and line in a shape of a heart reinforce the concept conveyed by the word ‘loves’. Although the non-English speaking part of the relevant public will understand the separate words described above, it is unlikely that they will be able to perceive a clear semantic meaning in the combination of the respective words in the signs in question. Consequently, the signs are conceptually similar to the extent they both relate to the concept of a ‘baby’ and ‘love’.


Taking into account the abovementioned visual, aural and conceptual coincidences, it is considered that the signs under comparison are similar.



  1. Distinctive and dominant elements of the signs


In determining the existence of likelihood of confusion, the comparison of the conflicting signs must be based on the overall impression given by the marks, bearing in mind, in particular, their distinctive and dominant components.


As described above, the element ‘BABY’ (present in both signs) will be associated with ‘a newborn or recently born child, infant’. Bearing in mind that some of the relevant goods and services (e.g. cosmetics in Class 3, pharmaceuticals, baby food in Class 5, cutlery (as it can be adapted for children) in Class 8, babies’ bottles, teething rings in Class 10, lights for babies, infants and children in Class 11, pushchair covers; safety seats for children, for vehicles in Class 12; printed matter in Class 16, child carrying bags in Class 18, furniture, e.g. children's safety gates in Class 20, heaters for feeding bottles, non-electric in Class 21, textile goods, e.g. children's blankets, in Class 24, clothing, footwear, headgear in Class 25; birthing mats in Class 27, games and playthings in Class 28, retail services in relation to cosmetics in Class 35, education in Class 41, and hygienic and beauty care for human beings; medical services in Class 44, etc.) are or can be related to infants, children and child care generally, it is considered that this element is weak for these goods and services since it will be perceived as a mere description of those targeted by the goods or services. The public understands the meaning of the element and will not pay as much attention to this weak element as to the other more distinctive elements of the marks. Consequently, the impact of this element is limited when assessing the likelihood of confusion between the marks at issue.


The marks under comparison have no elements which could be considered clearly more dominant (visually eye‑catching) than other elements.



  1. Distinctiveness of the earlier mark


The distinctiveness of the earlier mark is one of the factors to be taken into account in the global assessment of likelihood of confusion.


According to the opponent, the earlier mark has been extensively used and enjoys an enhanced scope of protection. However, for reasons of procedural economy, the evidence filed by the opponent to prove this claim does not have to be assessed in the present case (see below in ‘Global assessment’).


Consequently, the assessment of the distinctiveness of the earlier mark will rest on its distinctiveness per se. In the present case, the earlier trade mark as a whole has no meaning in relation to any of the goods in question from the perspective of the public in the relevant territory. Therefore, the distinctiveness of the earlier mark must be seen as normal, despite the presence of a weak element in the mark as stated above in section c) of this decision.



  1. Relevant public – level of attention


The average consumer of the category of products concerned is deemed to be reasonably well informed and reasonably observant and circumspect. It should also be borne in mind that the average consumer’s level of attention is likely to vary according to the category of goods or services in question.


In the present case, the goods and services found to be identical and similar to various degrees are directed at the public at large as well as at business customers with specific professional knowledge or expertise. The level of attention will vary from average to enhanced.



  1. Global assessment, other arguments and conclusion


Some of the contested goods and services have been found to be identical, some similar to various degrees and some dissimilar to the goods covered by the earlier trade mark. The signs are visually, aurally and conceptually similar to the extent that they both contain the word ‘BABY’ and ‘LOVE, which appears as a separate word in the earlier sign and as the first four letters of the word ‘loves’ in the contested sign.


Perceivable differences between the signs mainly lie in their visual representation, whereas the aural differences are confined to the additional letter ‘s’ found at the end of the first word in the contested sign, as well as the fact that the verbal elements in which the coincidences are found appear in the signs in different (reverse) order. As regards the visual differences resulting from the stylisation and colours of the common letters and the additional figurative elements of the contested sign, these will not be of any particular influence, since it is the natural tendency of consumers to identify marks by their verbal constituents rather than by describing their figurative elements, moreover the shape of a heart in the contested sign only serves to reinforce the concept conveyed by the word ‘LOVES’ and the stylisation of the word ’loves’ of the contested sign is not particularly striking. Therefore, the similarity found between the verbal elements ‘Baby Love’ of the earlier mark and ‘loves BABY’ of the contested sign is decisive.


Indeed, the contested sign’s second word and the earlier sign’s first word , namely ‘BABY’, coincide, while the sequence of letters constituting the word ‘LOVE’ in the earlier sign coincide with the first four letters out of five of the remaining word in the contested sign. The only differing letter ‘s’ in the latter word is placed in a non-prominent position, being its last letter. It is true that the respective words in the signs are in different (reverse) order, but taking into account the fact that consumers may rarely compare the marks and rely on their imperfect recollection, this difference does not significantly influence the overall impression of similarity between the signs, resulting from the above coincidences. This finding is equally valid even in the case where the common word ‘BABY’ is weak in relation to some of the goods and services as the similarity found in the remaining verbal elements is sufficient.


In the light of all the above, the Opposition Division concludes that the identity of some goods taken together with the visual, aural and conceptual similarity of the signs, discussed above, leads to a likelihood of confusion on the part of the relevant public even with an enhanced degree of attentiveness. As far as the goods and services found to be similar, even to a low degree, are concerned, the Opposition Division is of the opinion that the similarities in the present case clearly outweigh the differences and are sufficient to find a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public (even with an enhanced degree of attentiveness) in relation to these goods and services.


It is a result of the unitary character of the Community trade mark, laid down in Article 1(2) CTMR, that an earlier Community trade mark has identical protection in all Member States. Earlier Community trade marks may therefore be relied upon to challenge any subsequent application for a trade mark which would prejudice their protection, even if this is only in relation to the perception of consumers in part of the European Union. It follows that the principle laid down in Article 7(2) CTMR, which provides that it is sufficient that an absolute ground for refusal exists in only part of the Union for a trade mark application to be refused, applies, by analogy, to a relative ground for refusal under Article 8(1)(b) CTMR.


Considering all the above, the Opposition Division finds that there is a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public and therefore the opposition is partially well founded on the basis of the opponent’s international trade mark registration No 979 365.


It follows from the above that the contested trade mark must be rejected for the goods and services found to be identical or similar (even to a low degree) to those of the earlier trade mark.


The rest of the contested goods and services are dissimilar. As similarity of goods and services is a necessary condition for the application of Article 8(1) CTMR, the opposition based on this article and directed at these goods and services cannot be successful.


Since the opposition is partially successful on the basis of the inherent distinctiveness of the earlier mark, there is no need to assess the enhanced degree of distinctiveness of the opposing mark due to its extensive use and reputation as claimed by the opponent and in relation to identical and similar goods and services. The result would be the same even if the earlier mark enjoyed an enhanced degree of distinctiveness.


Likewise, there is no need to assess the claimed enhanced degree of distinctiveness of the opposing mark in relation to dissimilar goods and services, as the similarity of goods and services is a sine qua non for there to be likelihood of confusion. The result would be the same even if the earlier mark enjoyed an enhanced degree of distinctiveness.


In its observations, the applicant argues that the earlier trade mark has a low distinctive character given that there are many trade marks that start with ‘BABY’ and end with ‘LOVE’. In support of its argument the applicant refers to some Community trade mark registrations.


The Opposition Division notes that the existence of several trade mark registrations is not per se particularly conclusive, as it does not necessarily reflect the situation in the market. In other words, on the basis of data concerning a register only, it cannot be assumed that all such trade marks have been effectively used. It follows that the evidence filed does not demonstrate that consumers have been exposed to widespread use of, and have become accustomed to trade marks that start with ‘BABY’ and end with ‘LOVE’. Under these circumstances, the applicants claims must be set aside.


The applicant also refers to previous decisions of the Office to support its arguments. However, it must be noted that the Office is not bound by its previous decisions as each case has to be dealt with separately and with regard to its particularities.


This practice has been fully supported by the General Court which stated that it is settled case-law that the legality of decisions is to be assessed purely by reference to the CTMR, and not the Office’s practice in earlier decisions (judgment of 30/06/2004, T-281/02, ‘Mehr für Ihr Geld’).


Even though previous decisions of the Office are not binding, their reasoning and outcome should still be duly considered when deciding upon a particular case. In the case at hand, the previous cases referred to by the applicant, namely decision of 08/11/2010, R 769/2010‑2 - ‘Dermapura’ (figurative mark)/‘Purderm’, decision of 14/04/2011, R 1449/2010‑1 - ‘Barcaffe’ (figurative mark), ‘Bar Prestigo Barcaffe’ (figurative mark)/‘Cafe Bar’ (figurative mark), decision of 25/02/2003, B 311 896 are not relevant to the present proceedings. In the first case, the signs are composed of one verbal element in which their components are placed in a reversed order and, unlike in the present case, none of them appear as separate and independent elements. In the second case, similarly, the earlier marks were composed of one word, whereas the contested sign had two words and, moreover, the visual difference between the signs was considered as striking. The Board of Appeal took into account the low degree of distinctiveness of both marks and the fact that in the purchase of the contested goods in Class 30 the choice is generally made visually. The last case is not relevant to the present proceedings as the signs are not comparable.


The opponent refers also to a previous decision of the General Court, namely to the judgment of 27/01/2010, T‑331/08, ‘Solfrutta’. However, the signs ‘Solfrutta’ and ‘Frutisol’ are composed of one verbal element in which the components are placed in a reverse order and none of them appear as separate and independent elements, while in the present proceedings the similarity in both signs lies in two separate and independent verbal elements. As the circumstances of these cases are different, the cases referred to by the applicant are not relevant to the present proceedings.


The opponent has also based its opposition on the international trade mark registration No 935 598 designating the European Union, registered for the word mark ‘babylove’, in relation to the goods in Classes 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 18, 20, 21, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30 and 32. Since this earlier mark covers a narrower scope of the goods that have been compared, the outcome cannot be different with respect to goods and services for which the opposition has already been rejected; no likelihood of confusion exists with respect to those goods and services.



COSTS


According to Article 85(1) CTMR, the losing party in opposition proceedings must bear the fees and costs incurred by the other party. According to Article 85(2) CTMR, where each party succeeds on some heads and fails on others, or if reasons of equity so dictate, the Opposition Division shall decide a different apportionment of costs.


Since the opposition is successful only for part of the contested goods and services, both parties have succeeded on some heads and failed on others. Consequently, each party has to bear its own costs.
