Urteil des Gerichts in der Rechtssache T‑604/22 Société du Tour de France / EUIPO – FitX (TOUR DE X)
Markenstreit um Tour de X
Die deutsche FitX Beteiligungs GmbH beantragte 2017 beim Europäischen Amt für Geistiges Eigentum (EUIPO), das Zeichen als Unionsmarke einzutragen, und zwar u.a. für Kleidungsartikel, Spiele, Sportgeräte sowie Trainingsangebote.
Das französische Unternehmen Tour de France erhob dagegen Widerspruch, wofür es sich auf seine älteren Marke Tour de France berief.
Das EUIPO wies den Widerspruch zurück. Es konnte weder eine Verwechslungsgefahr erkennen noch eine Ausnutzung des guten Rufs der älteren Marken.
Das Unternehmen Tour de France hat diese Entscheidung vor dem Gericht der EU angefochten, das heute sein Urteil verkündet.
