42As regards, secondly, the head of claim alleging failure to comply with Article 7(1)(b) and 7(2) of Regulation No 207/2009, it should be borne in mind that there is a measure of overlap between the scope of Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation No 207/2009 and that of Article 7(1)(b) of that regulation inasmuch as the descriptive signs referred to in Article 7(1)(c) of that regulation are also devoid of any distinctive character for the purposes of Article 7(1)(b) of that regulation. Article 7(1)(b) is distinguished from Article 7(1)(c) of that regulation in that it covers all the circumstances in which a sign is not capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one undertaking from those of other undertakings (Case C-51/10 P Agencja Wydawnicza Technopol v OHIM [2011] ECR I-1541, paragraphs 46 and 47).
