2009/C 156/09
Base rates are calculated in accordance with the Chapter on the method for setting Reference and Discount rates of the Authority’s State aid Guidelines as amended by the Authority’s Decision No 788/08/COL of 17 December 2008. To get the applicable reference rate, appropriate margins have to be added in accordance with the State aid Guidelines. For the discount rate this means that the appropriate margin of 100 basis points has to be added to the base rate. The recovery rate will also normally be calculated by adding 100 basis points to the base rate as foreseen in the Authority’s Decision No 789/08/COL of 17 December 2008 amending the Authority’s Decision No 195/04/COL of 14 July 2004 (published in OJ L 139, 25.5.2006, p. 37 and in the EEA Supplement No 26/2006, 25.5.2006, p. 1).

Set aside the judgment of the Court of First Instance (Sixth Chamber) of 7 May 2009 in Case T-185/07;










—


Order OHIM and Zafra Marroquineros, S.L. to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The judgment runs counter to the case-law on the interpretation of Article 8(1) of Regulation No 40/94 (1) on the Community trade mark concerning the need to take into account all the factors characterising a specific case: the Court of First Instance failed to give appropriate legal weight to the fact that the party applying for the Community trade mark has used that mark to copy the cK marks which have reputation, and through its own acts, it makes it clear, in no uncertain terms, that the letters CK constitute the most distinctive part of the Community trade mark in question.
Infringement of Article 8(5) of Regulation No 40/94 as the Court of First Instance failed to assess the reputation of the opposing marks in the context of that article.
