Pleas in law and main arguments

Community trade mark concerned: The word mark ‘IDENTIFICATION SOLUTIONS’ for goods in class 16 — Community trade mark application No 8235186

Decision of the examiner: Partially refused registration of the application for a Community trade mark

Decision of the Board of Appeal: Dismissed the appeal and confirmed the contested decision

Pleas in law: The applicant claims that the Community trade mark application No 8235186 ‘IDENTIFICATION SOLUTIONS’ should be allowed for registration for goods in class 16 because ‘IDENTIFICATION SOLUTIONS’ is distinctive for these goods and thus meets with the requirements according to Article 4 of Council Regulation No 207/2009.
