The mechanics of requesting trade mark proof of use
Reynolds Porter Chamberlain
Harwin International LLC v Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market, Cuadrado, SA (Case T-450/07 Court of First Instance of the European Communities, 12 June 2009)
The Court of First Instance of the European Communities (CFI) ruled that the applicant's written objections to documents put forward voluntarily by the proprietor of earlier trade marks in respect of its use of such marks in the course of cancellation proceedings constituted a formal request on the part of the applicant that the proprietor furnish proof of use of its earlier marks.
