The EUIPO Boards of Appeal (BoA) Consistency Circles recently published the following case-law reports:

- Trade marks contrary to public policy or accepted principles of morality
- The distinctive character of slogans

The Consistency Circles analyse case-law, to identify trends and develop a common understanding on relevant legal issues. The purpose is to enhance the predictability of decisions as well as increase knowledge and transparency among BoA stakeholders.

These reports are a compilation of the existing case-law from the General Court, the Court of Justice, and the Boards of Appeal, and reflect discussions within the BoA Consistency Circles and the General Consistency Meeting of the BoA at the date of the report. They should not be considered as having any binding effect on the BoA.
