Genip Oy represented the appellant in the patent opposition appeal case, after the Finland Patent Office had rejected an opposition. The Market Court overturned the Finland Patent Office decision. The Market Court referred to the established case law of the boards of appeal of the European patent office and concluded that it has to be assumed that the skilled person can choose between two equal alternatives, and that such a choosing is obvious for the skilled person. The Finland Patent Office presented to the Market Court that this would not be obvious for the skilled person.
Our foreign client opposed a Finnish trademark of a foreign company. Genip Oy represented the opponent before the Finland Trademark Office, drafted the notice of opposition and filed the notice of opposition in December 2021. The foreign company requested removal of their trademark from the register and the Finland Trademark Office removed the trademark in January 2023.
The technical board of appeal decided the opposition appeal case against the appellant. The board did not admit to the proceedings material presented by the appellant to be relevant submitted for the first time in the appeal proceedings, finding that the material should have been submitted already in the opposition proceedings. Genip Oy represented the opponent that was the appellant in the appeal proceedings.
