Application No:	017397721
Your reference:	Hydroderm
Trade mark:	Hydroderm
Mark type:	Word mark
Applicant:	Mohammed-Firoz Hussein 130 LLanover Road Wembley London, City of HA9 7LT REINO UNIDO

The Office raised an objection on 17/04/2018 pursuant to Article 7(1) (b) and (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.

Taken as a whole, the words ‘Hydroderm’ immediately inform consumers without further reflection that the goods applied for are for hydrating the skin.

Therefore, the relevant consumer would perceive the sign as providing information about the intended purpose of the goods.

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) and Article 7(2) EUTMR, the application for European Union trade mark No 17397721 is hereby rejected for all the goods 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.
