37The Court of Justice also indicated, in paragraphs 43 and 44 of its judgment in Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli, paragraph 19 above, that the intention of preventing a product from being marketed may, in certain circumstances, be indicative of bad faith on the part of the applicant. That is the case, in particular, where it subsequently becomes apparent that the applicant registered the sign as a Community trade mark with no intention of using it, his sole objective being to prevent a third party from entering the market.
