In its decision No. 716/2009 of November 13, 2009, the Spanish Supreme Court upheld the 2005 ruling of the Court of Appeals of Barcelona, which had considered that 2.000,- EUR of olive oil sales over two years and other items such as labels, invoices and catalogues, were sufficient to prove “real and effective” use of a trademark in Spain.

On January 15, 2010, the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property (BOIP) made a surprising decision concerning the interpretation of the unchanging definition of the genuine use of a Community trademark.

Forerunner in technological innovation matters in the past years, Apple once again drawn attention to itself by announcing the launching of the iPad, a tablet touch.
