Aldi GmbH & Co. KG v. Alti Formaggi

Aldi GmbH & Co. KG

Decision

Applying the interdependence principle, taking into account the public’s high level of attention and the average distinctiveness of the earlier mark, given the low degree of visual and aural similarity and the lack of any conceptual similarity, it is confirmed that there is no likelihood of confusion on the part of the relevant public in the EU, despite the identity of the services covered by the signs at issue.
