Judgment_paragraph 58 · Mast-Jägermeister SE v European Union Intellectual Property Office (T-16/16)

58Moreover, under Article 62 of Regulation No 6/2002, decisions of EUIPO are required to state the reasons on which they are based. That duty has the same scope as that established by Article 296 TFEU. In that regard, it is apparent from settled case-law that the duty to provide a statement of reasons for individual decisions has two purposes: to allow the interested party to know the justification for the measure taken so as to enable him to protect his rights, and to enable the Courts of the European Union to exercise their power to review the legality of the decision. The question whether the statement of reasons for a decision satisfies those requirements must be assessed with reference not only to its wording but also to its context and the entire body of legal rules governing the matter in question (see, to that effect, judgment of 25 April 2013, Bell & Ross v OHIM — KIN (Wristwatch case), T‑80/10, not published, EU:T:2013:214, paragraph 37).
