Abstract

In its judgment of 10 November 2021, the General Court confirms that the sign representing the crest of the football club AC Milan cannot be registered internationally as an EU trademark for stationery and office supplies. Indeed, not without some perplexity, the decision is based on the high degree of aural similarity, and average visual similarity of that sign with the earlier German word mark MILANO (or rather in use Milan), which taken as a whole, sufficient to conclude that there is a likelihood of confusion for the German public.
