Press Release: Judgment in Joined Cases C-581/13 P and C-582/13 P. Intra-Presse SAS v OHIM and Golden Balls Ltd

The Court of Justice partially sets aside the judgments of the General Court regarding registration of the sign GOLDEN BALLS as a Community trade mark.

OHIM must reassess whether that sign may be registered, giving consideration to whether its similarity with the mark BALLON D’OR, albeit low, is sufficient for the public to establish a link between the two marks.
