      Community trade mark concerned: The word mark ‘NEW LOOK’ for goods and services in classes 3, 9, 14, 16, 18, 25, 26 and 35 — application No 2 932 606
   
      Decision of the examiner: Refusal of the application
   
      Decision of the Board of Appeal: Dismissal of the appeal
   
      Pleas in law: Infringement of Article 7(3) of Council Regulation No 40/94, as the Board of Appeal i) erred in requiring the applicant to demonstrate acquired distinctive character in a Member State other than the United Kingdom and Ireland; ii) erred in holding that the applicant's evidence of use of ‘NEW LOOK’ in stylised form or together with a distinctive device was incapable of imbuing the mark with distinctive character; and iii) failed to place sufficient overall weight on the applicant's evidence of use in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
