Jaguar Land Rover Limited v. Lande Endüstriyel Metal Ürünler Sanayi Ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi

Jaguar Land Rover Limited

Decision

The decision annulles the OD decision which rejected the opposition in part. The Board made a full reassessment of likelihood of confusion, based on the earlier, reputed EUTM of the opponent, Land Rover. The OD did not compare the most relevant goods to the opponent to the contested goods. Since both the goods and the the marks were found similar, this, following the principle of interdependence could only result in LoC.
