KOM(95) 92 endelig udg. 
Henstilling med henblik på 
RÅDETS AFGØRELSE 
om bemyndigelse til på Det Europæiske Fællesskabs 
vegne at undertegne den traktat om varemærkeret, 
der blev vedtaget i Geneve den 27. oktober 1994 
under WIPO's auspicier 
(Verdensorganisationen for Intellektuel Ejendomsret) 
(forelagt af Kommissionen) 
BEGRUNDELSE 
Den 27. oktober 1994 vedtog den diplomatiske konference, der var indkaldt med henblik 
herpå, traktaten om varemærkeret, der er udarbejdet under WIPO's auspicier 
(Verdensorganisationen for Intellektuel Ejendomsret). Traktaten vil være fremlagt til 
undertegnelse ved WIPO's hjemsted indtil 27. oktober 1995. 
Det Europæiske Fællesskab - repræsenteret af Kommissionen - har deltaget i den 
diplomatiske konference som en særlig delegation. Ved Rådets afgørelse af 
19. september 1994 fik Kommissionen bemyndigelse til at forhandle traktaten hvad angår 
de aspekter, der vedrører EF-varemærker og Fællesskabets deltagelse i den pågældende 
traktat. Den 28. oktober 1994 undertegnede Kommissionen den diplomatiske konferences 
slutakt, uden dog at undertegne selve traktaten. 
Det skal bemærkes, at slutakten pr. 16. december 1994 var blevet underskrevet af 68 
delegationer og traktaten af 39 stater, heriblandt 9 medlemsstater. Traktaten er også 
blevet undertegnet af nogle af Fællesskabets vigtige handelspartnere, herunder navnlig 
Amerikas Forenede Stater, Den Russiske Føderation og Kina. 
FÆLLESSKABETS INTERESSE I TRAKTATEN OM VAREMÆRKERET 
Den pågældende traktat berører Fællesskabet, fordi den kan finde anvendelse på EF-
varemærker og på Harmoniseringskontoret for Det Indre Marked (varemærker og 
mønstre) i Alicante. På Fællesskabets nuværende harmoniseringsstadium tilkommer det 
derimod medlemsstaterne at bestemme, om den pågældende traktat skal finde anvendelse 
på nationale varemærker og nationale varemærkemyndigheder. 
Traktaten om varemærkeret forenkler procedurerne i betydeligt omfang; det kan således 
nævnes 
• at den begrænser antallet af de dokumenter, som en varemærkeansøger skal indgive 
til den kompetente myndighed 
• at den med tiden afskaffer den forpligtelse, hvorefter en offentlig myndighed i den 
stat, hvori varemærkeansøgningen indgives, skal bekræfte eller attestere 
varemærkeansøgerens underskrift 
• at den indfører standardformularer, som samtlige kontraherende parter anerkender 
gensidigt. 
Denne forenkling skulle betyde en mærkbar reduktion af de omkostninger, som pålægges 
EF-industrien i tredjelande, når et varemærke skal registreres, fornys eller overdrages. 
EF-industrien har altid slået til lyd for en sådan traktat. 
I øvrigt er traktaten forenelig og komplementær med TRIP-aftalen (handelsrelaterede 
aspekter af intellektuel ejendomsret). 
-i 
Et spørgsmål har været i fokus under den diplomatiske konferences debat, nemlig 
spørgsmålet om Fællesskabets1 autonome stemmeret. 
Den løsning, man har valgt i traktaten, er tilfredsstillende for Fællesskabet. Til forskel ira 
traktatudkastet (dokument TLT/DC/3 af 28. marts 1994) blev en forsamling bestående af 
de kontraherende parter nemlig ikke oprettet. Nødvendigheden af al forudse stemmeret i 
forsamlingen forsvandt dermed. Ingen af de kontraherende parter har stemmeret. 
Traktaten kan revideres efter afholdelsen af en diplomatisk konference, hvis indkaldelse 
til sin tid vil blive besluttet af WIPO's generalforsamling. Det vil være på dette tidspunkt, 
at problemet med Fællesskabets autonome stemmeret på ny vil opstå. 
FÆLLESSKABETS MULIGHED FOR AT BLIVE PART I TRAKTATEN 
I henhold til traktatens artikel 19, stk. 1, litra ii), kan Det Europæiske Fællesskab blive 
kontraherende part2. På nuværende stadium synes Rådets tiltræden af traktaten om 
varemærkeret dog forhqstet. Der skal nemlig først træffes foranstaltninger, der sikrer 
dens overenstemmelse med forordningen om EF-varemærker og regiene om 
Harmoniseringskontoret i Alicante. Før iværksættelsen af en tiltræden bør man vedtage 
alle de foranstaltninger, der allerede er forudset, og som sikrer, at 
Harmoniseringskontoret i Alicante bliver fuldt ud operationelt. Når dette er sket, kan man 
overveje at indgå traktaten på Fællesskabets vegne. 
Derimod er det i lyset af det ovenstående af allerstørste betydning, at Fællesskabet inden 
den 27. oktober 1995 undertegner traktaten om varemærkeret. Undertegnelsen af 
traktaten vil nemlig være bevis for den interesse, som Fællesskabet tillægger varemærker 
og forenklingen af procedurerne i forbindelse hermed, og vil kunne have en afsmittende 
effekt på andre stater. 
Ved at tilskynde til en positiv holdning over for traktaten om varemærkeret vil 
Fællesskabet være foregangsmand for en bred tilslutning til traktaten i overensstemmelse 
med EF-industriens ønsker og økonomiske interesser.

Artikel 19, stk. 1: "Nedennævnte enheder kan undertegne og - med forbehold af afsnit 2 og 3 og

ii) enhver mellemstatslig organisation, der forvalter et kontor, hvor varemærker kan registreres med 
virkning inden for det territorium, hvorpå traktaten om oprettelse af den mellemstatslige organisation 
finder anvendelse, i alle organisationens medlemsstater eller i de af organisationens medlemsstater, der 
er designeret med henblik herpå i den pågældende ansøgning, forudsat at alle den mellemstatslige 
organisations medlemsstater er medlemmer af WlPO-organisationen;...". (O.a. uofficiel oversættelse).
