De IPkat bericht over angstgegners Philips en Remington dat “the 2D infringement case has finally ended once and for all. In October 2003, Philips and Remington saw sense in the 3D opposition case, and agreed to stay the proceedings pending the final outcome of the 2D infringement case. Under the terms of the stay, if the mark was held to be valid in the 2D infringement case, Remington would drop the 3D opposition, and if the 2D mark was held to be invalid, Philips would stop defending the 3D opposition.

The news is the 2D infringement case has finally ended once and for all. In October 2004, Rimer J held that the 2D mark was invalid, in the light of the ECJ’s judgment. His decision was upheld in January 2006. In June 2006, the House of Lords Appeal Committee Report informed the parties that Philips’ application for permission to appeal Mr Justice Rimer’s decision was refused. (…) In consequence, the 2D mark was recorded on the Register as being invalid, and under the conditions of the stay, Remington’s opposition in relation to the 3D mark was automatically successful and the 3D mark was refused registration.”
