Monster Energy Company v European Union Intellectual Property Office T-567/15, [2016] All ER (D) 68 (Jul)
The General Court of the European Union dismissed an appeal brought by Monster Energy Company against the decision of the Fifth Board of Appeal of the European Union Intellectual Property Office, upholding a decision to dismiss the applicant’s opposition to the registration of a figurative sign since the applicant had failed to establish sufficient similarity between the signs in issue and that its earlier marks had distinctiveness.
