52EUIPO asserts that the tactile impression produced by the sign in respect of which registration was sought is shown not by its graphic representation, but solely by the description accompanying that representation. According to EUIPO, that description cannot be taken into consideration, pursuant to Article 3(2) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/626 of 5 March 2018 laying down detailed rules for implementing certain provisions of Regulation 2017/1001 and repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1431 (OJ 2018 L 104, p. 37), since it extends the scope of the protection claimed as shown by the graphic representation of the sign.
