Judgment_paragraph 26 · Repsol YPF, SA v European Union Intellectual Property Office (T-609/15)

26The first two conditions, namely those relating to the use of the sign relied on and its significance, which must be more than merely local, are clear from the wording of Article 8(4) of Regulation No 207/2009 and must therefore be interpreted in the light of EU law. Regulation No 207/2009 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, GENERAL OPTICA, T‑318/06 to T‑321/06, EU:T:2009:77, paragraph 33).
