Question juridique clé
Whether the figurative sign V qualifies as common property lacking distinctiveness under Art. 2 lit. a MSchG.
Solution extraite
The sign remains a common elementary letter sign; the thin dashed inner line does not create an overall distinctive impression.
Motifs extraits
A single letter is generally excluded from protection unless it has original or fanciful graphic features. Here the stylization is slight, secondary, and may even suggest a functional stitching element; it does not dominate the overall impression.
