Judgment_paragraph 21 · Kurt Hesse v Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs) (OHIM) (C-50/15 P)

21In that regard, it must be noted at the outset that, as the General Court rightly held in paragraph 36 of the judgment under appeal, in order to assess the similarity of goods or services, all the relevant factors relating to those goods or services should be taken into account. Those factors include, in particular, their nature, their intended purpose, their method of use and whether they are in competition with each other or are complementary (see, in particular, judgments in Sunrider v OHIM, C‑416/04 P, EU:C:2006:310, paragraph 85, and Éditions Albert René v OHIM, C‑16/06 P, EU:C:2008:739, paragraph 65).
