Pleas in law and main arguments

The appellant submits that the Court of First Instance erred in finding that there was similarity between the trademark ‘Barbara Becker’ applied for by the appellant and the defendant's mark ‘BECKER’, and therefore misapplied article 8(1)(b) CTMR in concluding that there was likelihood of confusion.
