The decision seems reasonable - they are supporting WoTC objecting to another company attempting to register 'DUNGEONS' as an EU-wide trade mark for games, which gives a very high level of protection and could prevent others selling games with 'Dungeon' in the title. I'd say WoTC is on the side of the angels here, though not necessarily for the stated reason of likelihood of confusion with Dungeons & Dragons.
