Key legal question
Whether FIREMASTER is excluded from trademark protection as descriptive/common property for flame-retardant chemical goods.
Extracted holding
Yes. In relation to the claimed goods, the sign immediately conveys that the product resists fire and is therefore a purely descriptive indication lacking distinctive character.
Extracted reasoning
The assessment depends on the goods designated. Even if a word combination may be ambiguous in the abstract, a specific product can give it a clear descriptive meaning without fantasy effort. For flame-retardant chemicals, FIREMASTER directly points to the product's core function.
