Judgment_paragraph 18 · Engelhorn KGaA v Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs) (OHIM) (T-30/09)

18Under Article 21 of the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Union and Article 44(1)(c) of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court, applications must include a brief statement of the pleas in law on which they are based. It is settled case-law that, although specific points in the text of the application can be supported and completed by references to specific passages in the documents annexed to it, a general reference to other documents cannot compensate for the failure to set out the essential elements of the legal argument which must, under those provisions, appear in the application itself (Case T-183/03 Applied Molecular Evolution v OHIM (APPLIED MOLECULAR EVOLUTION) [2004] ECR II-3113, paragraph 11; Joined Cases T-350/04 to T-352/04 Bitburger Brauerei v OHIM - Anheuser-Busch (BUD, American Bud and Anheuser Busch Bud) [2006] ECR II-4255, paragraph 33; and judgment of 15 October 2008 in Joined Cases T-305/06 to T-307/06 Air Products and Chemicals v OHIM — Messer Group (Ferromix, Inomix and Alumix), not published in the ECR, paragraph 21).
