CJEU: National trade name rights are not governed by the EU Trade Mark Directive

It does not seem to require a decision from the Court of Justice of the EU (‘CJEU’) for the finding that national trade name rights are not governed by the EU Trade Mark Directive (‘TMD’). Yet, sometimes national courts refer good questions to the CJEU but the latter decides to answer different ones. This can lead to seemingly redundant decisions as it happened in Purefun (case C-365/24).
