Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court had jurisdiction over the request to cancel the ECOFIN trademark under Article 16(4) LugÜ
Decisione estratta
Yes. The cancellation claim is a status action concerning the validity and existence of a registered trademark and therefore falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the court at the register location.
Motivazione estratta
The claim directly targets the register entry and the substantive validity of the mark, not merely the parties’ relationship. Article 16(4) LugÜ covers actions on the registration or validity of trademarks, including nullity/cancellation actions.
