Bringing together of services: CJEU rules in Netto case

Case C-420/13 Netto v DPMA -- a reference from the German Bundespatentgericht -- raised the question whether, in Class 35, a service of bringing other services together for the benefit and convenience of the public was capable of identifying a trade mark applicant's service with sufficient particularity. The CJEU said yes, it may well do so -- but it was for the competent authority to decide in each case whether there was indeed a sufficient description of the services being brought together.
