Judgment_paragraph 36 · Karl-May-Verlag GmbH, formerly Karl May Verwaltungs- und Vertriebs- GmbH v Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs) (OHIM) (T-501/13)

36It follows from an equally consistent line of decisions that, while OHIM is not bound by decisions made by national authorities, OHIM may nevertheless take those decisions into consideration, without them being binding or even determinative, as indicia in the assessment of the facts of the case (see, to that effect, judgments of 21 April 2004 in Concept v OHIM (ECA), T‑127/02, ECR, EU:T:2004:110, paragraph 70; 9 July 2008 in Reber v OHIM — Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli (Mozart), T‑304/06, ECR, EU:T:2008 268, paragraph 45, and 25 October 2012 in riha v OHIM — Lidl Stiftung (VITAL & FIT), T‑552/10, EU:T:2012:576, paragraph 66).
