The EU Court rejected the proposed trademark for the Spanish restaurant chain "La mafia se sienta a la mesa" ("the Mafia sits at the table"), a choice that sees promoting Cosa Nostra as a synonym of quality in contrast with good taste and, above all, the fundamental principles on which the EU is based. No brand, then. It is "contrary to public order", according to the judges of Luxembourg. Via the signs then.
