Judgment_paragraph 96 · Claus Gramberg v European Union Intellectual Property Office (T-166/15)

96Consequently, the first plea in law must be upheld and the contested decision annulled, without there being any need to rule on the second and third pleas in law. Nor is there any need to rule on the applicant’s claims seeking the referral of the case back to the Board of Appeal. EUIPO is required by Article 61(6) of Regulation No 6/2002 to take the measures necessary to comply with the judgment of the General Court. It follows from that provision that the Court is not entitled to issue directions to EUIPO, which must draw the appropriate conclusions from the operative part and grounds of the Court’s judgment (see, by analogy, judgment of the General Court pf 15 March 2006, Athinaiki Oikogeniaki Artopoiia v OHIM — Ferrero (FERRÓ), T‑35/04, EU:T:2006:82, paragraph 15 and the case-law cited).
