47 The General Court was fully entitled to state, at paragraph 19 of the order under appeal, that, concerning time-limits for bringing proceedings, the concept of excusable error must be strictly construed and can concern only exceptional circumstances in which, in particular, the conduct of the institution concerned has been, either alone or to a decisive extent, such as to give rise to a pardonable confusion in the mind of a party acting in good faith and exercising all the diligence required of a normally experienced trader.

Plea in law: Infringement of Article #(b) of Regulation No #/# in so far as the Board of Appeal misinterpreted that provision and, consequently, wrongly held that there was a likelihood of confusion between the marks in question
Motivi invokati: Ksur tal-Artikolu #(b) tar-Regolament Nru #/#, sa fejn il-Bord tal-Appell għamel interpretazzjoni żbaljata ta’ din id-dispożizzjoni u, b’hekk, ikkunsidra b’mod żbaljat li kien jeżisti riskju ta’ konfużjoni bejn it-trade marks inkwistjoni

In particular, vertically integrated distribution system operators shall not, in their communication and branding, create confusion in respect of the separate identity of the supply branch of the vertically integrated undertaking.
B'mod partikolari, l-operaturi tas-sistemi ta' distribuzzjoni li huma integrati vertikalment m'għandhomx, fil-komunikazzjoni u l-branding, joħolqu konfużjoni fir-rigward tal-identità separata tal-fergħa ta' provvista tal-impriża integrata vertikalment.

Pleas in law: Infringement of Articles #(b) of Council Regulation No #/# as the Board of Appeal wrongly held that there was no likelihood of confusion between the trade marks concerned

The only relevant criterion is whether objectively the trade marks are of such a nature as to deceive or are liable to mislead the public, inter alia by giving rise to confusion with other goods.
L-uniku kriterju rilevanti jikkonsisti f'li jiġi determinat, b'mod oġġettiv, jekk it-trade marks humiex ta' natura li jqarqu bil-pubbliku jew li jwassalhom għal żball, b'mod partikolari billi tinħoloq konfużjoni ma' prodotti oħra.

In such a case, the likelihood that the consumer may mistake the commercial origin of the goods or services in question does not result from the possibility of his confusing the trade mark applied for with one of the earlier marks in a series, but from the possibility of his considering that the trade mark applied for forms part of the same series.
F’tali każ, il-probabbiltà li l-konsumatur jista’ jieħu żball fir-rigward ta’ l-oriġini kummerċjali tal-prodotti jew tas-servizzi in kwistjoni ma tirriżultax mill-possibbiltà li jfixkel it-trade mark li għaliha saret applikazzjoni ma’ xi waħda mit-trade marks f’serje preċedenti iżda mill-possibbiltà li jqis li t-trade mark li għaliha saret applikazzjoni tagħmel parti mill-istess serje.

13 As to the admissibility of the first part of the single ground, it must be recalled, first, that it is settled case-law that the existence of a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public must be assessed globally, taking into account all factors relevant to the circumstances of the case.
13 Fir-rigward tal-ammissibbiltà tal-ewwel parti tal-aggravju uniku, hemm lok li jitfakkar, minn naħa, li minn ġurisprudenza stabbilita jirriżulta li l-eżistenza ta’ probabbiltà ta’ konfużjoni min-naħa tal-pubbliku għandha tiġi evalwata b’mod globali filwaqt li jittieħdu inkunsiderazzjoni l-fatturi rilevanti kollha tal-każ ineżami.

the last sentence of article 3(2)(b)(v) ‘at the latest when the booking of the first service is confirmed’, should be deleted as a reference to a specific time frame is problematic and creates confusion;

60 In that regard, it must be stated that, in the global assessment of the likelihood of confusion, the visual, phonetic or conceptual aspects of the opposing signs do not always have the same weight and it is then appropriate to examine the objective conditions under which the marks may be present on the market (Joined Cases T‐117/03 to T‐119/03 and T‐171/03 New Look v OHIM – Naulover (NLSPORT, NLJEANS, NLACTIVE and NLCollection) [2004] ECR II‐3471, paragraph 49).
60 F’dan ir-rigward, għandu jiġi ppreċiżat li, fil-kuntest tal-evalwazzjoni globali tal-probabbiltà ta’ konfużjoni, l-aspett viżiv, fonetiku jew kunċettwali tas-sinjali li jinsabu f’kunflitt bejniethom mhux dejjem għandhom l-istess importanza, u għalhekk għandhom jiġu evalwati l-kundizzjonijiet oġġettivi li fihom it-trade marks jistgħu jiġu ppreżentati fis-suq [sentenza tal-Qorti Ġenerali tas-6 ta’ Ottubru 2004, New Look vs UASI – Naulover (NLSPORT, NLJEANS, NLACTIVE u NLCollection), T‐117/03 sa T‐119/03 u T‐171/03, Ġabra p. II‐3471, punt 49].

The absence of any clear distinction between the two concepts, and the confusion between them in Rome II, is confirmed by the fact that, in a great majority of the other instruments adopted in the area of judicial cooperation in civil matters, articles entitled ‘Entry into force’ contain the form of words ‘shall apply’. (32)
In-nuqqas ta’ distinzjoni ċara bejn iż-żewġ kunċetti, li twassal għall-konfużjoni bejniethom li hemm fir-Regolament Ruma II hija kkonfermata mill-fatt li fil-maġġoranza kbira tal-istrumenti l-oħra adottati fid-dominju tal-kooperazzjoni ġudizzjarja f’materji ċivili, l-artikoli intitolati “Dħul fis-seħħ” fihom il-formulazzjoni “japplika” jew “hu applikabbli” (32).

The presentation of a cosmetic product and in particular its form, odour, colour, appearance, packaging, labelling, volume or size should not endanger health and safety of consumers due to confusion with foodstuffs, in accordance with Council Directive 87/357/EEC of 25 June 1987 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning products which, appearing to be other than they are, endanger the health or safety of consumers ( 5 ).
Il-preżentazzjoni ta' prodott kożmetiku u b'mod partikolari l-forma, ir-riħa, il-kulur, id-dehra, l-imballaġġ, it-tikketta, il-volum jew id-daqs m'għandhomx jipperikolaw is-saħħa u s-sigurtà tal-konsumaturi minħabba konfużjoni mal-oġġetti, skont Direttiva tal-Kunsill 87/357/KEE tal-25 ta' Ġunju 1987 għall-approssimazzjoni tal-liġijiet tal-Istati Membri dwar prodotti li, minħabba li jidhru li huma dak li mhumiex, jipperikolaw is-saħħa jew sigurtà tal-konsumaturi ( 5 ).

Whereas the list of ingredients which may be used in the manufacture of compound feedingstuffs is not exhaustive; whereas the Member States are accordingly required to allow compound feedingstuffs marketed within the Community to contain ingredients other than those included on the abovementioned list provided that such products are of sound, genuine and merchantable quality and that they are designated by specific names preventing any confusion with ingredients qualifying for a name established at Community level;
Billi l-lista ta’ l-ingredjenti li tista’ tintuża fil-fabbrikazzjoni ta’ għalf kompost mhijiex eżawrenti; billi l-Istati Membri huma għalhekk meħtieġa li jippermettu li għalf kompost iffabbrikat fil-Komunità jkun fih ingredjenti apparti minn dawk inklużi fil-lista msemmija hawn fuq basta li dawn il-prodotti ikunu ta’ kwalità tajba, ġenwina u negozjabbli u huma nnominati b’ismijiet speċifiċi li jipprevjenu kull konfużjoni mal-ingredjenti li jikkwalifikaw għall-isem stabbilit fil-livell Komunitarju;

34 As is clear from settled case-law, the global assessment of the likelihood of confusion, as far as concerns the visual, phonetic or conceptual similarity of the opposing signs, must be based on the overall impression given by the signs, bearing in mind, inter alia, their distinctive and dominant components (see Case T-292/01 Phillips-Van Heusen v OHIM – Pash Textilvertrieb und Einzelhandel (BASS) [2003] ECR II-4335, paragraph 47 and the case-law cited).
34 Kif jirriżulta minn ġurisprudenza stabbilita, l-evalwazzjoni globali tal-probabbiltà ta’ konfużjoni għandha, f’dak li jikkonċerna x-xebh viżiv, fonetiku jew kunċettwali tas-sinjali konfliġġenti, tkun ibbażata fuq l-impressjoni sħiħa li dawn jipproduċu, billi jittieħdu inkunsiderazzjoni, b’mod partikolari, l-elementi distintivi u dominanti tagħhom [ara s-sentenza tal-Qorti tal-Prim’Istanza tal-14 ta’ Ottubru 2003, Phillips‐Van Heusen vs UASI – Pash Textilvertrieb und Einzelhandel (BASS), T‐292/01, Ġabra p. II‐4335, punt 47, u l-ġurisprudenza ċċitata].

‘Must Article 4(1)(b) of Directive 2008/95 be interpreted as meaning that, in the case of identical and similar goods and services, there may be taken to be a likelihood of confusion for the public if a distinctive sequence of letters which dominates the earlier word/figurative trade mark of average distinctiveness is made use of in a third party’s later mark in such a way that the sequence of letters is supplemented by a descriptive combination of words relating to it which explains the sequence of letters as an abbreviation of the descriptive words?’
“L-Artikolu 4(1)(b) tad-Direttiva 2008/95/KE għandu jiġi interpretat fis-sens li, fil-każ ta’ prodotti u ta’ servizzi identiċi u simili, għandu jitqies li teżisti probabbiltà ta’ konfużjoni għall-pubbliku meta sekwenza ta’ ittri, ta’ karattru distintiv u li hija karatteristika tas-sinjal verbali jew figurattiv preċedenti b’karattru distintiv medju, tiġi riprodotta fis-sinjal verbali posterjuri ta’ terz permezz taż-żieda ma’ din is-sekwenza ta’ ittri b’sintamma relatata magħha u deskrittiva, li tispjega l-imsemmija sekwenza ta’ ittri bħala l-akronimu tal-kliem deskrittiv?”
