#62025CO0766Court of Justice Order – Capella EOOD v EUIPO: Appeal Refused to Proceed (Case C-766/25 P)

On 24 March 2026, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued an order in Case C-766/25 P refusing to allow an appeal filed by Capella EOOD against the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) to proceed. The case concerned a dispute over an EU trade mark registration. The refusal was based on Article 170b of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice, which requires that an appeal from a General Court decision in IP matters must first demonstrate that it raises an issue significant with respect to the unity, consistency, or development of EU law before it can be admitted for full hearing. The Court found that Capella EOOD's request failed to satisfy this threshold requirement. The appellant did not sufficiently demonstrate that the legal questions raised were of the kind that would contribute meaningfully to the development or clarification of EU law beyond the specific facts of the case. As a result, the appeal was definitively refused at the admissibility stage, meaning the General Court's underlying decision on the EU trade mark stands without further substantive review by the Court of Justice.
