Deray v European Union Intellectual Property Office

European Union – Trade marks. The Second Board of Appeal of the European Union Intellectual property Office had not erred in finding that there was a likelihood of confusion between the EU word mark 'LiLI LA TIGRESSE', sought to be registered by the applicant French resident, and an earlier EU word mark 'TIGRESS'. Consequently, the General Court of the European Union dismissed the applicant's action against the decision of EUIPO's Second Board of Appeal to uphold the opposition by the intervener company, registered in the UK, to registration of the applicant's mark.
