In a recent decision that underscores the European Union Intellectual Property Office (“EUIPO”)’s strict stance on distinctiveness, the European Union General Court dismissed Mercedes-Benz Group AG’s appeal, thereby, affirming the EUIPO’s refusal to register a figurative trademark depicting an off-road vehicle – specifically, the silhouette of Mercedes’ popular G-Wagon SUV – climbing a hill. The General Court’s decision reinforces the consistent line of EUIPO case law that mandates that “a minimum of distinctive character is sufficient for the absolute ground of refusal contained in [Article 7(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1001] to be applicable.”

Greece began 2025 with a significant diplomatic and economic win as the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) overturned the trademark registration of “TurkAegean,” a tourism slogan secured by Turkey in December 2021. The EUIPO’s ruling, issued on January 9, invalidated the trademark across six categories – advertising, media, transportation services, education, hospitality, and legal services. The decision marks a milestone in a contentious cultural and geopolitical dispute between Greece and Turkey over the shared legacy of the Aegean Sea. The Turkish authorities now have two months to file an appeal and an additional four months to provide written justification if they choose to contest the ruling.
