Judgment_paragraph 44 · Bacardi Co. Ltd v European Union Intellectual Property Office (T-435/12)

44The first two conditions, namely those concerning the use and significance of the sign or mark relied on, which must be more than merely local, arise from the wording itself of Article 8(4) of Regulation No 207/2009 and must therefore be interpreted in the light of EU law. That regulation thus sets out uniform standards, relating to the use of signs and their significance, which are consistent with the principles underlying the system established by that regulation (judgment of 24 March 2009, Moreira da Fonseca v OHIM — General Óptica (GENERAL OPTICA), T‑318/06 to T‑321/06, EU:T:2009:77, paragraph 33; of 4 July 2014, Construcción, Promociones e Instalaciones v OHIM — Copisa Proyectos y Mantenimientos Industriales (CPI COPISA INDUSTRIAL), T‑345/13, not published, EU:T:2014:614, paragraph 41; and of 12 October 2017, SDC‑888TII RU, T‑317/16, not published, EU:T:2017:718, paragraph 39).
