Pleas in law: incorrect application of the provisions of Article 7
(1)(b) and (c) of Regulation No 40/94 on the Community trade
mark (1), inasmuch as, according to the applicant, the designa-
tion ‘150’, in relation to the goods indicated, is neither descrip-
tive nor devoid of distinctive character.

Pleas in law:

— infringement of Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 40/
94 (1) by reason of the incorrect application of the absolute
ground for refusal regarding the indication of the character-
istics of the goods to words forming part of the general
vocabulary which are not directly descriptive,

— infringement of Article 7(1)(b) of Regulation No 40/94 by
accepting that the mark was devoid of any descriptive char-
acter by reason only of
the improper application of
Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation No 40/94, and

— infringement of Article 7(1)(b) of Regulation No 40/94 on
the ground that the mark applied for was sufficiently distinc-
tive.
