LUXEMBOURG: The General Court of the European Union ruled on Wednesday that German sportswear giant adidas’ iconic three-stripe branding was invalid as a trademark as it was an "ordinary figurative mark", lacking a distinctive character.
It thus upheld a decision of the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) in 2016 to annul a previous decision to accept the trademark.
