However, the Court of First Instance disagreed with the Boardsof Appeal of OHIM in holding that no descriptive function could be ascribed to the term VITALITE, for food for babiesor mineral and aeratedwaters, the term DOUBLEMINT, for certainmint-flavoured products, the term EASYBANK,for on-line banking services, the term Euro Health , for servicesfalling withinthe category of 'financial affairs' or the sign New Born Baby, for dollsto playwith and accessories for suchdolls in the form of playthings, and the term DAS PRINZIP DER BEQUEMLICHKEIT, for land vehicles and householdand office furniture.

The 'tablets' cases gave the Court an opportunity,for the first time, to reviewthe legality of decisions of the Boardsof Appeal of OHIM finding that, inaddition to one figurative trade mark (CaseT-30i00), the threedimensionaltrade marks applied for consisting of the shape and, insome cases, thearrangement of the coloursor the designof laundryor dishwasher productswere devoid of distinctivecharacter. character.

In that regard, it held that it is clear from Article 4 of Regulation No 40/94that both a product's shape and its coloursfall among the signs which may constitute constitute a a Community Community trade trade mark, mark, while while pointing pointing out out that that the the fact fact that that aa category of signs is, in general, capable of constituting a trade mark does not

Whilst the public is used to recognising the lattermarks instantlyas signs identiffing the product,this is not necessarily sowhere the sign is indistinguishable from the appearance of the product itself.

Finally, in the judgment in Henkel v OHIM (imngeof a detergent product),cited above, which concerned a figurative mark consisting of a faithfulrepresentation of the product itself, the Court held that an assessment ofdistinctive character cannot result in differentoutcomes for a three-dimensionalmark consisting of the designof the product itself and for a figurative markconsisting of a faithful representation of the same product.
I den forbindelse fastslog Retten, at det fremgär af artikel 4 i forordning nr.40194, at bäde varens form og farver er blandt de tegn, der kan udgore et EF-varem & rke, idet den samtidig understregede, at det forhold, at en kategori aftegn generelt kan udgore et varem & rke, imidlertid ikke er ensbetydende med,at de tegn, der tilhsrer dennekategori, nsdvendigvis har det fornsdne srerpragi forhold til en bestemt vare eller tjenesteydelse.

OHIM, challenging the legality of the rules governing languages in RegulationNo 40/94, ended in the dismissal of the action (udgment in CaseT-120199 Kik v OHIM [2001] ECR II-2235 (under appeal, caseC-361i01 P), The Court,sitting with five judges, held that the obligation incumbent on the applicant forregistration of a Community trade mark to indicate a 'secondlanguage' language'
Kriterierne for bedsmmelse af det fornsdne serpreg fortredimensionale varemserker, der udgores af selve varens form, er säledes ikkeanderledes end dem, der finder anvendelse pä andre varem€rkekategorier.Retten prreciserede, at der ikke desto mindre ved anvendelsen af disse kriterierskal tages hensyn til det forhold, at opfattelsen i den pägeldendeomsetningskreds ikke nodvendigvis er den sanrme ved tredimensionalevarem & rker, der bestär af selve varens form og farver, og ved ordmrerker,figurmerker eller tredimensionale varem@rker,der ikke bestär af varens form.Mens forbrugerne er vant til umiddelbartat opfattede sidstnevnte varemrerkersom tegn, der identificerer varen, gelder dette ikke nodvendigvis,när tegneter sammenfaldende med selve varens fremtrreden.

As regards the substance, the Court held that the deliberations of the Committee on Excise Duties should be regarded as being the deliberations ofthe Commission. However, the mere fact that the documents at issue relateto deliberations could not by itself justify application of the exception relatingto confidentiality of proceedings.
Retten skullei sagen afgare sporgsmälet, om Kommissionen var berettiget til at afslä atoffentliggore, hvilke delegationer der havde tilkendegivet deres standpunkt irelation til den afgiftsmessige ordning for ekspanderet tobak pä de moder, somde omtvistede referater vedrsrte, idet Kommissionen baserede sin afgorelse päden fakultative undtagelse for sä vidt angär tavshedspligten omforhandlingerne.
In each case, it is necessary to strike abalance between the interest of the citizen and that of the Commission withregard to the content of the document concerned.
Med henblik pä at kunne treffe afgarelse i sagen havde Retten anmodet Kommissionen om at meddele Retten de omhandledereferater, for at denkunne undersogederes indhold.
The Court of First Instance held, in this case, that the minutes related todiscussions which had been terminated by the time British American TobaccoInternational (Investments) made its request for access.
I overensstemmelse med procesreglementetsartikel 67, stk. 3, tredje afsnit, der blev anvendt for fsrste gang, siden denträdte i kraft den 1. februar 200I, blev dokumenterne ikke tilstillet sagsogeren.
Consequently, it held that the groundfor refusal relied on could not cause the Commission's interest in protectingthe confidentiality of the proceedings of the Committee on Excise Duties toprevail over the applicant's interest.
Retten fastslog i sagen, at rnsdereferaternevedrsrte forhandlinger, der varafsluttet, da selskabet British American Tobacco International (Investments)fremsatte sin begrring om aktindsigt.
December 2001 in Case C-353 199 P, not yet published in the ECR, the Courtof First lnstänce, in its judgment in Mattila v Council and Commission, citedabove, did not annulthe decisions taken by those two institutions to refuseaccess to those documents.

The Court of First Instance held as it did becauseit took the view that, given that the disclosure of parts of documents containingno real information would have been of no use to the applicant and given thenature of the documents in question, had those institutions considered thepossibility, they would not in any event have agreed to partial access.Accordingly, the Court held that the fact that the defendant institutions failedto consider the question of granting partial access had no effect on the outcomeof their examination in the particular circumstances of thecase. case.
