Provisions of Article 6bis show that relying on the fact that a trademark is well-known implies, in addition to the burden of proof for that fact, certain risks for the trademark owner and that he is always well advised to seek protection of his trademark through registration as quickly as possible. Since the Paris Convention itself does not define the conditions under which a trademark is to be considered well-known, considerable uncertainty exists as regards the circumstances under which a trademark owner can rely on Article 6bis of the Paris Convention. The most acceptable criteria seem to bee the same as it is defined in Section 84 of Decision no. A long standing problem with regard to the interpretation of Article 6bis is that the Paris Convention does not oblige its member States to apply this provision to the service marks. This deficiency has been remedied through the conclusion of the TLT, Article 16 of which provides that the Contracting Parties of the TLT have to apply all provisions of the Paris Convention which concern trademarks to service marks.
Croatian legislation is harmonized with said provisions.
