In Case T-1/09, the GC confirmed likelihood of confusion for similar or identical products in Classes 9,11, 20 and 21 between the applied for trademark META and the earlier figurative CTM 
:
There is a medium degree of visual similarity and a high degree of aural similarity. Conceptually, the English-speaking public understands the element ‘form’ in the earlier mark which has a low distinctive character, and even more so when the consumer understands the meaning of the word ‘meta’, so the general overall impression is that the trademarks are similar, partially balanced by the rhombus figurative element.
