Judgment_paragraph 20 · El Corte Inglés, SA v European Union Intellectual Property Office (T-443/05)

20It is clear from settled case-law that, in an action before the Community Courts against the decision of a Board of Appeal of OHIM, OHIM is required, under Article 63(6) of Regulation No 40/94, to take the measures necessary to comply with judgments of the Community judicature. Accordingly, it is not for the Court of First Instance to issue directions to OHIM. It is for the latter to draw the appropriate inferences from the operative part and grounds of the Courts judgments (Case T-331/99 Mitsubishi HiTec Paper Bielefeld v OHIM (Giroform) [2001] ECR II-433, paragraph 33, and Case T-202/04 Madaus v OHIM — Optima Healthcare (ECHINAID) [2006] ECR II-1115, paragraph 14). Therefore, the applicants head of claim requesting the Court to issue directions to OHIM to refuse the application for registration is inadmissible.
