The General Court confirms that Steiff, the German soft toy manufacturer, is not entitled to a Community trade mark for the attachment of a button or a label attached by means of a button to the ear of a soft toy. The distinctive character of that attachment is lacking because, in itself, it does not enable the average European consumer to recognise the commercial origin of the soft toy. |
