Flowers Direct Online Limited (C-323/09) - Google France Sarl v. Louis Vuitton Malletier SA (C-236/08) - L’Oreal SA v. Bellure NV (C-486/07) Following the recent ECJ preliminary rulings in Interflora v. Marks & Spencer and Google France v. Louis Vuittion concerning keyword advertising the key issues of unfair advantage, trade mark use and parallel application of Article 5(1)(a) and 5(2) Directive 89/104/EEC have been re examined.
