What was this dispute about?
Balenciaga filed an application to invalidate the design of
furry sandals registered by Birkenstock, referring in its argument
to the lack of individual character and the existence of similar
sandals offered on Amazon's French marketplace site since
2018.
The Office found that the designer's freedom is wide in this
regard, and that the designs under comparison are so highly similar
to each other that this would certainly be noticed by the average
consumer, and that the challenged Birkenstock design therefore
lacks individual character.
Consequently, a European trademark appeals board invalidated the
challenged design in the form of furry sandals.
