Revocation of the decision to refuse registration of the trade mark PARTNERKAART

The Patent Office, while examining the, mark, concluded that the designation PARTNERKAART was not registrable, on the grounds that the mark was devoid of distinctive character and was descriptive of the goods and services specified in the application. Our office represented the applicant AS Tallinna Kaubamaja before the Board of Appeal, in a dispute with the Patent Office. The Board of Appeal annulled the decision of the Patent Office to refuse registration, and PARTNERKAART was deemed a registrable designation.
