Σύσταση 
ΑΙΙΟΦΑΣΙΙΣ ΤΟΥ ΣΥΜΒΟΥΛΙΟΥ 
για την υπογραφή, εξ ονόματος της Ευρωπαϊκής Κοινότητας, 
της συνθήκης για το δικαίωμα σημάτων που εκδόθηκε στη Γενεύη 
την 27η Οκτωβρίου 1994 υπό την αιγίδα της Παγκόσμιας Οργάνωσης 
για την Πνευματική Ιδιοκτησία (ΟΜΡΙ) 
(υποβληθείσα από την Επιτροπή) 
ΑΙΤΙΟΛΟΓΙΚΗ ΕΚΘΕΣΗ 
Στις 27 Οκτωβρίου 1994, η διπλωματική διάσκεψη που συγκλήθηκε για το σκοπό 
αυτό εξέδωσε τη συνθήκη για το δίκαιο των σημάτων που εκπονήθηκε υπό την 
αιγίδα της Παγκόσμιας Οργάνωσης για την Πνευματική Ιδιοκτησία (ΟΜΡΙ). Η 
υπογραφή της συνθήκης μπορεί να πραγματοποιηθεί στην έδρα της ΟΜΡΙ μέχρι 
την 27η Οκτωβρίου 1995. 
II Ευρωπαϊκή Κοινότητα, εκπροσωπούμενη από την Επιτροπή, μετείχε στη 
διπλωματική διάσκεψη ως ειδική αντιπροσωπεία. Μξ απόφαση του Συμίβουλίου της 
19ης Σεπτεμβρίου 1994, η Επιτροπή είχε εξουσιοδοτηθεί να διαπραγματευθεί τη 
συνθήκη για τις πλευρές που άπτονται του κοινοτικού σήματος και της συμμετοχής 
της Κοινότητας στην εν λόγω συνθήκη. Υπέγραψε την 28η Οκτωβρίου 1994 την 
τελική πράξη της διπλωματικής διάσκεψης χωρίς ωστόσο να υπογράψει την ίδια τη 
συνθήκη. 
Πρέπει να σημειωθεί ότι την 16η Δεκεμβρίου 1994, η τελική πράξη είχε υπογραφεί 
από 68 αντιπροσωπείες και η συνθήκη από 39 κράτη, μεταξύ των οποίων 9 κράτη 
μέλη. Σημαντικοί εμπορικοί εταίροι της Κοινότητας και ειδικότερα οι Ηνωμένες 
Πολιτείες της Αμερικής, η Ομοσπονδία της Ρωσίας και η Κίνα, υπέγραψαν επίσης 
τη συνθήκη αυτή. 
ΕΝΔΙΑΦΕΡΟΝ ΤΗΣ ΚΟΙΝΟΤΗΤΑΣ ΣΧΕΤΙΚΑ ΜΕ ΤΗ ΣΥΝΘΗΚΗ ΓΙΑ ΤΟ 
ΔΙΚΑΙΟ ΤΩΝ ΣΗΜΑΤΩΝ 
II εν λόγω συνθήκη αφορά την Κοινότητα λόγω του γεγονότος ότι μπορεί να 
εφαρμοστεί στο κοινοτικό σήμα και στο Γραφείο εναρμόνισης της εσωτερικής 
αγοράς (σήματα, σχέδια και υποδείγματα) του Alicante. Αντίθετα, στο παρόν σχέδιο 
της κοινοτικής εναρμόνισης αρμοδιότητα έχουν τα κράτη μέλη να αποφανθούν 
όσον αφορά την εφαρμογή της εν λόγω συνθήκης για τα σήματα τους και τα εθνικά 
γραφεία σημάτων. 
Η συνθήκη για το δίκαιο των σημάτων απλουστεύει σε μεγάλο βαθμό τις 
διαδικασίες· έτσι πρέπει να υπενθυμίσουμε: 
• ότι περιορίζει τον αριθμό των εγγράφων που ο καταθέτων ένα σήμα οφείλει να 
υποβάλει ενώπιον του αρμοδίου γραφείου, 
• ότι καταργεί, μακροπρόθεσμα, την υποχρέωση επικύρωσης ή βεβαίωσης της 
υπογραφής του καταθέτοντος εκ μέρους δημόσιας αρχής του κράτους 
κατάθεσης του σήματος, 
• ότι εισάγει τυποποιημένα έντυπα που αναγνωρίζονται αμοιβαία από όλα τα 
συμβαλλόμενα μέρη. 
II εν λόγω απλούστευση θα έπρεπε να έχει ως αποτέλεσμα το να ελαφρύνει αισθητά 
το κόστος στο οποίο εκτίθεται η κοινοτική βιομηχανία σε τρίτα κράτη κατά την 
καταχώρηση, την ανανέωση ή τη μεταβίβαση σημάτων. Ή κοινοτική βιομηχανία 
ανέκαθεν υποστήριξε το μέσο αυτό. 
Λ ^ 
Εξάλλου, η συνθήκη αυτή είναι συμβατή και συμπληρωματική της συμφωνίας 
TRIPs (Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights). 
V 
Ένα ζήτημα απετέλεσε επίκεντρο της συζήτησης κατά τη διπλωματική διάσκεψη: το 
αυτόνομο δικαίωμα ψήφου της Κοινότητας1. 
Η λύση που επιλέχθηκε στο πλαίσιο της συνθήκης είναι ικανοποιητική για την 
Κοινότητα. Πράγματι, κατ'αντιδιαστολή με το σχέδιο συνθήκης (έγγρ. TLT/DC/3 
της 28ης Μαρτίου 1994), δεν συστάΟτ|κε συνέλευση των συμβαλλομένων μερών. 
Έτσι εξέλειπε η ανάγκη πρόβλεψης δικαιώματος ψήφου στη συνέλευση. Κανένα 
από τα συμβαλλόμενα μέρη δεν θα διαθέτει δικαίωμα ψήφου. 
II συνθήκη θα μπορεί να αναθεωρηθεί κατόπιν διπλωματικής διασκέψεως τη 
σύγκλιση της οποίας θα αποφασίσει, σε εύθετο χρόνο, η γενική συνέλευση της 
ΟΜΡΙ. Με την ευκαιρία αυτή θα τεθεί εκ νέου το πρόβλημα του αυτόνομου 
δικαιώματος ψήφου της Κοινότητας. 
ΔΥΝΑΤΟΤΗΤΑ ΓΙΑ ΤΗΝ ΚΟΙΝΟΤΗΤΑ ΝΑ ΠΡΟΣΧΩΡΗΣΕΙ ΣΤΗ ΣΥΝΘΗΚΗ 
Σύμφωνα με το άρθρο 19.1)ii) της συνθήκης, η Ευρωπαϊκή Κοινότητα μπορεί να 
γίνει συμβαλλόμενο μέρος2. Στην παρούσα φάση, η σύναψη εκ μέρους του 
Συμβουλίου της συνθήκης για το δίκαιο των σημάτων φαίνεται πρώιμη. Πράγματι, 
αποδεικνύεται απαραίτητη η λήψη μέτρων για τη διασφάλιση της εναρμόνισης της 
κανονιστικής ρύθμισης για το κοινοτικό σήμα και το γραφείο του Alicante. Προτού 
προχωρήσει προς την κατεύθυνση αυτή, πρέπει να εγκρίνει όλα τα μέτρα που 
προβλέπονται ήδη τα οποία θα επιτρέψουν να καταστεί πλήρως λειτουργικό το 
γραφείο του Alicante. Αφού πραγματοποιηθούν τα διαβήματα αυτά, θα καταστεί 
δυνατό να ληφθεί υπόψη η σύναψη, εκ μέρους της Κοινότητας, της εν λόγω 
συνθήκης. 
Αντίθετα, έχει εξαιρετική σημασία, βάσει των όσων προαναφέρθηκαν, το να 
υπογράψει η Κοινότητα πριν από την εκπνοή της προθεσμίας της 27ης Οκτωβρίου 
1995, τη συνθήκη για το δίκαιο σημάτων. Η υπογραφή θα αποδείκνυε πράγματι το 
ενδιαφέρον που προσδίδει η Κοινότητα στα σήματα και στην απλούστευση των 
σχετικών διαδικασιών και θα μπορούσε να συμπαρασύρει και τα άλλα κράτη προς 
την κατεύθυνση αυτή. 
Συμβάλλοντας στο να δημιουργηθεί ένα ευνοϊκό πλαίσιο ως προς τη συνθήκη για 
το δίκαιο των σημάτων, η Κοινότητα θα έθετε τις βάσεις για μια ευρεία συμμετοχή 
στην εν λόγω συνθήκη, σύμφωνα με τις ευχές και τα οικονομικά συμφέροντα της 
κοινοτικής βιομηχανίας. 
βλ. έγγρ. SEC(94) 950 τελικό της 13ης Ιουνίου 1994. 
Αρθρο 19.1): "Οι κατωτέρω φορείς μπορούν να υπογράψουν και επιφυλασσομένων των 
εδαφίων 2) και 3) και του άρθρου 20.1) και 3) να προσχωρήσουν στην παρούσα συνθήκη: ... 
U) κάθε διακυβερνητικός οργανισμός που διαχειρίζεται ένα γραφείο ενώπιον του οποίου 
μπορούν να καταχωρούνται σήματα που παράγουν έννομο αποτέλεσμα στο έδαφος επί του 
οποίου εφαρμόζεται η συνθήκη περί συστάσεως του διακυβερνητικού οργανισμού, σε όλα τα 
κράτη μέλη της ή σε εκείνα από τα κράτη μέλη που καθορίζονται για το σκοπό αυτό στην 
αντίστοιχη αίτηση, με την επιφύλαξη ότι όλα τα κράτη μέλη του διακυβερνητικού οργανισμού 
αποτελούν μέλη της οργάνωσης· ...".
