      Form of order sought
   
   The applicant claims that the Court should:
   
               —
            
            
               uphold the present action;
            
         
               —
            
            
               annul the contested decision and, consequently, register mark No 11 957 685 in respect of all the goods claimed, without prejudice to those already granted;
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the other party to pay the costs.
            
         
      Plea in law
   
   
               —
            
            
               The applicant maintains that the decision of 6 April 2016 is undermined from the outset and is vitiated by the scant examination of the evidence, and especially by a superficial examination of the marks as regards the confusion of the Italian language to which EUIPO appears to make reference.
