Decision of the Board of Appeal: Partially annulled the contested decision and upholded the opposition for goods in classes 28 and 41, and rejected the appeal for the remaining goods and services, therefore, allows the application for goods in classes 16, 25, 28, 35, 36 and 41

Decision of the Board of Appeal:

Pleas in law: Infringement of Article 8(1)(b) of Council Regulation No 207/2009, as the Board of Appeal took account only of one of the possible meanings of the word FIT and found the existence of likelihood of confusion with reference to the main part of the relevant goods and services on the basis of such partial assessment.
