Fruit of the Loom, Inc v European Union Intellectual Property Office

European Union – Trade marks. The General Court of the European Union upheld the action brought by Fruit of the Loom, Inc, against the decision of the Second Board of Appeal of the European Union Intellectual Property Office, relating to revocation 'FRUIT', on the ground that the Board's decision with regard to the genuineness of the use of the stand-alone trade mark FRUIT had been based on an analysis vitiated by error of law and on an assessment of the evidence and the circumstances of the case that did not satisfy the necessary criteria.
