Re:
Appeal against the judgment of the Court of First Instance (First Chamber) of 12 September 2007 in Case T-363/04 Koipe v OHIM and Aceites del Sur (La Española), by which the decision of the Fourth Board of Appeal of the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs) (OHIM) of 11 May 2004 (Case R 1109/2000-4) was altered so as to hold that the appeal brought by the applicant before the Board of Appeal is well founded and, consequently, that the opposition is to be upheld.
