Community Designs a good fit for G Star

Trade-mark-oriented readers may recall the ECJ G-Star decision concerning jeans (Benetton Group v G-Star International, ECJ case C-371/06, 20 September 2007) in which the shapes of stitching and other aspects that gave substantial value to the jeans were unregistrable as marks despite subsequently acquired reputation.
The Class 46 blog carries an Italian sequel. In January, in the absence of copyright or trade mark protection, the Milan Court allowed G-Star's unfair competition claim based on copying of their "Elwood" jeans.
It is pleasing to see that G-Star also successfully enforced the design of the "Limit Regular" jeans, registered as Community Designs at OHIM (where they have registered more than 100 RCDs).
