The Supreme Court of Justice denied the trademark registration request, ruling that the mark lacked essential distinctiveness. The applicant argued for registration, but the court emphasized that a mark must serve to distinguish goods or services to be valid. Consequently, the application was rejected because the mark failed to meet this fundamental legal requirement.
