🇬🇧 English

This law addresses an annulment and damages claim against the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) for an implicit decision regarding personal data handled by the EUIPO. The General Court found there was no need to rule on the annulment as the initial decision had been explicitly addressed. It also concluded the claim for damages was inadmissible due to insufficient clarity and precision in the applicant's arguments.
