      Registered Community trade mark in respect of which a declaration of invalidity has been sought: Word mark ‘Notfall Bonbons’ for goods in classes 5 and 30 (Community trade mark No 3 563 251)

      Applicant for the declaration of invalidity: Fitne Gesundheits- und Wellness GmbH
   
      Decision of the Cancellation Division: Rejection of the application for a declaration of invalidity of the trade mark concerned.
   
      Decision of the Board of Appeal: Annulment of the decision of the Cancellation Division and granting of the application for a declaration of invalidity of the trade mark concerned.
   
      Pleas in law: Infringement of Article 7(1)(b) and (c) of Council Regulation No 40/94, since the trade mark ‘Notfall Bonbons’ is not descriptive of the protected goods, nor does it lack the requisite distinctive character.
