Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellants' company names create a confusing similarity with the respondents' earlier company names under company law.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The wording “Cash Back/Cashback” is not a mere descriptive term in this context; it has sufficient imaginative character and is the dominant element of the compared company names. The additional terms do not sufficiently distinguish the companies, so confusion is likely.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court found that the term does not clearly describe the companies' activities without further thought or imagination. The identical dominant element, its position at the start of three names, the weak distinctiveness of the remaining additions, and geographic proximity all increase the risk of confusion.
