(Case C-593/12 P)
2013/C 55/10
Language of the case: English

Parties
Appellant: Lancôme parfums et beauté & Cie (represented by: A. von Mühlendahl, Rechtsanwalt)
Other parties to the proceedings: Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs); Focus Magazin Verlag GmbH

Form of order sought
The appellant claims that the Court should:

Annul the Judgment of the General Court of 5 October 2012 in Case T-204/10;

Order the Office to bear the costs of the proceedings before the Court of Justice and before the General Court, as well as the costs of the proceedings before the Office’s Board of Appeal.

Pleas in law and main arguments
The appellant submits that the contested judgment should be set aside on the following grounds:
 
First, the Appellant claims that the General Court violated Article 53(1) CTMR (1) in conjunction with Article 8(1)(b) CTMR in deciding that the Office was justified in finding that COLOR FOCUS must be declared invalid because of likelihood of confusion.
 
Second, the Appellant claims that the General Court committed reversible legal error in dismissing the Appellant’s claim that the assertion of rights based on the mark FOCUS amounts to an ‘abuse of rights’.
