TOT INCH, DECISION 
authorizing the signing, on behalf of the European^Community 
of the Trademark Law Treaty adopted in Geneva on 27 October 1994 
under the auspices of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) 
(presented by the Commission) 
'' 4%. 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
On 27 October 1994 the Diplomatic Conference specially convened for the purpose 
adopted the Trademark Law Treaty drawn up under the auspices of the World Intellectual 
Property Organization (WIPO). The Treaty will remain open for signature at WIPO's 
headquarters until 27 October 1995. 
The European Community, represented by the Commission, took part in the Diplomatic 
Conference as a special delegation. By Council decision of 19 September 1994 the 
Commission was authorized to negotiate those aspects of the Treaty affecting the 
Community trade mark and the Community's participation in the Treaty. On 
28 October 1994 it signed the Final Act of the Diplomatic Conference but did not sign 
the Treaty itself. 
On 16 December 1994 the Final Act was signed by 68 delegations and the Treaty by 
39 countries, including nine Member States. A number of important trading partners of 
the Community, including the United States, the Russian Federation and China, also 
signed the Treaty. 
INTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY m THE TRADEMARK LAW TREATY 
The Treaty concerns the Community because it is applicable to the Community trade 
mark and to the Alicante Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (trade marks 
and designs). However, at the present stage of Community harmonization it is for the 
Member States to decide on the applicability or otherwise of thé Treaty to their own trade 
marks and national offices. 
The Trademark Law Treaty simplifies procedures considerably in that it: 
• limits the number of documents which the applicant for a trade mark must furnish to 
the competent office; 
• will ultimately abolish the obligation on the part of the applicant to have his signature 
authenticated or certified by a public authority in the State in which the trade mark is 
being applied for; 
• introduces standard forms mutually recognized by all Contracting Parties. 
This simplification should lead to a considerable reduction in the costs borne by 
Community industry in third countries when registering, renewing or assigning trade 
marks. Community industry has always supported the Treaty. 
The Treaty is compatible with, and complementary to, the TRIPs (trade-related aspects 
of intellectual property rights) Agreement. 
1 
One issue that came to the fore during the Diplomatic Conference was that of the 
Community's separate voting rights.1 
The approach adopted in the Treaty is satisfactory from the Community's point of view. 
By contrast to what was provided for in the draft Treaty (document TLT/DC/3 of 
28 March 1994), the Assembly consisting of Contracting Parties has not been set up. The 
need to provide for a right to vote in the Assembly has thus disappeared. None of the 
Contracting Parties will have a right to vote. 
The Treaty may be revised following a diplomatic conference the holding of which will 
be decided on when the time comes by the WIPO General Assembly. The question of the 
Community's separate voting rights would then arise once more. 
POSSIBILITY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO BECOME PARTY TO THE TREATY 
Under Article 19(l)(ii) of the Trademark Law Treaty, the European Community may 
become a Contracting Party.2 It would be premature at this stage for the Council to 
conclude the Treaty. Measures need to be taken to ensure that the rules governing the 
Community trade mark and the Alicante Office comply with it. And before that, the 
measures already envisaged with a view to enabling the Alicante Office to become fully 
operational must all be adopted. Only then will it be possible to consider concluding the 
Treaty on behalf of the Community. 
On the other hand, it is of the utmost importance in the light of the above that the 
Community should sign the Treaty before the 27 October 1995 deadline. Its signature 
would bear witness to the importance it attaches to trade marks and to simplification of 
the relevant procedures, and it might induce other States to follow suit. 
By helping to create an environment favourable to the Trademark Law Treaty, the 
Community would pave the way for broad participation in the Treaty in accordance with 
the wishes and economic interests of Community industry.

Article 19(1) : "The following entities may sign and, subject to paragraphs (2) and (3) and Article 
20(1) and (3), become party to this Treaty:... 
(ii) any intergovernmental organization which maintains an Office in which marks may be registered 
with effect in the territory in which the constituting treaty of the intergovernmental organization 
applies, in all its member States or in those of its member States which are designated for such 
purpose in the relevant application, provided that all the member States of the intergovernmental 
organization are members of the Organization;...". 
2-
CONCLUSION 
It should accordingly be proposed to the Council that it decide to sign, subject to 
approval, the Trademark Law Treaty on behalf of the European Community. To that end, 
the President of the Council will be authorized to appoint persons to sign the Treaty 
before the deadline of 27 October 1995. 
DECISION 
The decision of the Council of the European Union will take the form of a statement in 
the minutes of one of its meetings. 
"At its meeting on..., the Council of the European Union decided : 
• to sign, subject to approval and on behalf of the European Union, the Trademark 
Law Treaty adopted on 27 October 1994 under the auspices of the World Intellectual 
Property Organization; 
• to authorize its President to appoint persons to sign the Treaty before 
27 October J995. 
The text of the Trademark Law Treaty is attached to this decision".
