A Grey Sky for Skype: Skype Ultd v OHIM

摘要

This article considers the recent decisions of the EU General Court in Skype Ultd v OHIM (T-423/12, T-183/13 and T-184/13), which upheld rulings of OHIM's Fourth Board of Appeal that the Skype logo and word mark were not registrable as Community trade marks on account of a likelihood of confusion with Sky s earlier registration for the word mark SKY for similar goods and services.
