As both courts at lower instances found, the Court held that it was of purely descriptive character. In particular, English speakers with necessary knowledge would immediately connect the word mark (which is comprise of the word &#8220;exhaust&#8221; and &#8220;g(u)ard&#8221;) with protection from dangerous emissions produced from combustion in diesel motors, in particular with the reduction of nitrous oxide content in these emissions. &#8220;The decision of the European Court of Justice is therefore less surprising than the vehement defence of the registration over three instances,&#8221; Dr Florian Schwab comments.
