AI generated

The court dismissed the request to review the validity of national trademark transfer entries. The plaintiff challenged the entries, but the court held that their validity concerns only the national register. Consequently, the specific formalities required by Article 9 bis of the Madrid Agreement for international transfers were deemed irrelevant to the national registration's validity.
