Abstract: The Court of Justice of the European Union has recently rendered preliminary rulings in two separate European Union trade mark (EUTM) infringement cases, Gemeinde Bodmann-Ludwigshafen (C-256/21) and LM v KP (C-654/21), confirming that a counterclaim for invalidity in an EUTM infringement proceedings is independent in scope and the outcome from the infringement action, reflecting the principle of procedural autonomy of national courts acting as EUTM courts.
