85As the Court of First Instance rightly held, in paragraph 65 of the judgment under appeal, in order to assess the similarity of the products or services concerned, all the relevant features of the relationship between those products or services should be taken into account. Those factors include, in particular, their nature, their intended purpose, their method of use and whether they are in competition with each other or are complementary (see, regarding Article 4(1)(b) of Directive 89/104, a provision which is substantively identical to Article 8(1)(b) of Regulation No 40/94, Case C-39/97 Canon [1998] ECR I-5507, paragraph 23).
