The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's decision dismissing the appellant's appeal regarding trademark infringement. The appellant argued that the defendant's firm name caused confusion, but the court held that such assessment must be made from the perspective of the average consumer. Consequently, the court ruled that the defendant's name did not create the required confusion under the relevant commercial codes.
