Motivering: Sökanden om upphävande har krävt att Patent- och registerstyrelsen upphäver den
internationella registreringen nr 827885 Å (figurativt märke) på grund av att innehavaren av märket inte har använt varumärket i Finland under de senaste fem åren. Sökanden har ett rättsligt intresse att få ärendet behandlat i PRS, eftersom sökanden är innehavare av den i Europeiska unionen godkända internationella registreringen nr 1433727 Å (figurativt märke) i klasserna 3, 14, 18, 24, 25 och 35,
som, liksom det registrerade varumärket, består av en stiliserad å-bokstav.

Varumärkesinnehavaren har inte lämnat in något yttrande i ärendet och har inte heller inlämnat någon bevisning som visar att innehavaren skulle ha använt märket.

Således beslutar Patent- och registerstyrelsen att den internationella registreringen nr 827885 Å (figurativt märke) upphävs i sin helhet på grund av att innehavaren av varumärket inte har presenterat någon utredning om verkligt bruk av varumärket under de senaste fem åren.
