Suite Result for Hotel Cipriani at the CJEU

The General Court of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has dismissed an appeal from the unsuccessful application by Arrigo Cipriani (Arrigo) to have Hotel Cipriani’s EU trade mark (EUTM) for CIPRIANI, registered for hotel services among other things, declared invalid on the grounds that (i) it was registered in bad faith and (ii) that, under national Italian law, Arrigo had a prior right to that name… The CJEU affirmed the test for bad faith and the principle that extending the protection of a national mark by registering an EUTM is part of an undertaking’s normal commercial strategy. The fact that the Registrant had an earlier, identical national mark, which Arrigo did not oppose or object to, contributed to the finding that there was no bad faith. In any case, bad faith remains a high threshold to prove and if owners have EU national rights, which were never challenged by the invalidity applicant, this could further add to the difficulty of proving bad faith by the registrant.
