COMISIÓN DE LAS COMUNIDADES EUROPEAS 
Bruselas, 27.03.1995 
COM(95) 92 final 
Recomendación de 
DECISION DEL CONSEJO 
por la que se autoriza la firma, en nombre de la Comunidad Europea, 
del Tratado sobre el derecho de marcas concluido en Ginebra 
el 27 de octubre de 1994 bajo los auspicios de la OMPI 
(Organización Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual) 
(presentada por la Comisión) 
EXPOSICIÓN DE MOTIVOS 
El 27 de octubre de 1994, la Conferencia diplomática convocada a tal efecto aprobó el 
Tratado sobre el derecho de marcas elaborado bajo los auspicios de la OMPI 
(Organización Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual). El Tratado quedará abierto a la firma 
en la sede de la OMPI hasta el 27 de octubre de 1995. 
La Comunidad Europea, representada por la Comisión, participó en la conferencia 
diplomática en calidad de delegación especial. Por Decisión del Consejo de 19 de 
septiembre de 1994, la Comisión había sido autorizada a negociar los aspectos del 
Tratado relacionados con la marca comunitaria y la participación de la Comunidad. El 28 
de octubre de 1994, la Comisión suscribió el Acta final de la conferencia diplomática, 
aunque no firmó el Tratado en sí. 
Es importante señalar que a 16 de diciembre de 1994, el Acta final había sido firmada por 
sesenta y ocho delegaciones, mientras que el Tratado sólo había sido suscrito por treinta y 
nueve, entre ellos nueve Estados miembros. Asimismo, el Tratado fue firmado por 
algunos de los principales socios comerciales de la Comunidad, como Estados Unidos, la 
Federación Rusa y China. 
INTERÉS DE LA COMUNIDAD POR EL TRATADO SOBRE EL DERECHO DE MARCAS 
La Comunidad se halla interesada por el Tratado en cuestión dado que puede aplicarse a 
la marca comunitaria y a la Oficina de Armonización del Mercado Interior (marcas, 
diseños y modelos) de Alicante. Sin embargo, en el actual estadio de armonización 
comunitaria son los Estados miembros quienes deben decidir sobre la aplicación de dicho 
Tratado a sus marcas y oficinas nacionales. 
El Tratado sobre el derecho de marcas simplifica notablemente los procedimientos, así 
por ejemplo: 
• limita el número de documentos que el depositario de una marca debe presentar ante la 
oficina competente, 
• suprime, a la larga, la obligación de autenticación o certificación de la firma del 
depositario por parte de una autoridad pública del Estado de depósito de la marca, 
• introduce modelos de formularios mutuamente reconocidos por todas las partes 
contratantes. 
La simplificación debería llevar aparejada una notable reducción de los costes que la 
industria comunitaria tiene que soportar en el registro, la renovación o la cesión de 
marcas en terceros países. Así pues, la industria comunitaria siempre ha apoyado este 
instrumento. 
Además, el Tratado constituye un complemento al acuerdo TRIPs (Trade Related 
Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) y es compatible con él. 
- S\ 
A lo largo de la conferencia diplomática, el derecho de voto autónomo de la Comunidad1 
ha sido una de las cuestiones que ha polarizado el debate. 
La Comunidad considera satisfactoria la solución adoptada al respecto en el Tratado. Al 
no crearse la Asamblea compuesta por las partes contratantes que aparecía sin embargo 
en el proyecto de Tratado (documento TLT/DC/3 de 28 de marzo de 1994), desaparece la 
necesidad de prever un derecho de voto en la Asamblea. Ninguna de las partes 
contratantes dispondrá de derecho de voto. 
El Tratado podrá revisarse como resultado de una conferencia diplomática cuya 
convocatoria decidirá, en su momento, la Asamblea General de la OMPI. Con ese 
motivo, el problema del derecho de voto autónomo de la Comunidad se volverá a 
plantear. 
POSIBILIDAD DE QUE LA COMUNIDAD PASE A SER PARTE EN EL TRATADO 
De conformidad con el artículo 19.1)ii) del Tratado, la Comunidad puede convertirse en 
parte contratante2. En esta fase, parece prematuro que el Consejo proceda a la ratificación 
del Tratado sobre el derecho de marcas. En efecto, parece necesario adoptar medidas que 
garanticen la conformidad de la reglamentación sobre la marca comunitaria y la Oficina 
de Alicante con este Tratado. Antes de proceder a ello, habrá que adoptar todas las 
medidas previstas con objeto de que la Oficina de Alicante se convierta en un centro 
plenamente operativo. A continuación, se podrá empezar a considerar la posibilidad de 
ratificar el Tratado en nombre de la Comunidad. 
Sin embargo, a la luz de todo lo expuesto, es fundamental que, antes del 27 de octubre de 
1995, la Comunidad firme el Tratado sobre el derecho de marcas. Dicha firma constituirá 
un testimonio de la importancia que la Comunidad concede a las marcas y a los 
procedimientos relacionados con ellas y podrá servir de acicate para los demás Estados. 
Al contribuir a crear un entorno favorable al Tratado sobre el derecho de marcas, la 
Comunidad sentaría las bases para una amplia participación en dicho Tratado, en 
consonancia con las expectativas e intereses económicos de la industria comunitaria.

Artículo 19.1): "Las siguientes entidades podrán firmar y, con sujeción a lo dispuesto en los párrafos 
2) y 3) y en el artículo 20.1) y 3), ser parte en el presente Tratado:... 
ii) toda organización intergubernamental que mantenga una Oficina en la que puedan registrarse 
marcas con efecto en el territorio en el cual se aplique el Tratado constitutivo de dicha organización 
intergubernamental, en todos sus Estados miembros o en aquellos de sus Estados miembros que sean 
designados a tal fin en la solicitud pertinente, a condición de que todos los Estados miembros de la 
organización intergubernamental sean miembros de la organización;..."

CONCLUSION 
Así pues, es necesario proponer al Consejo que decida proceder, a reserva de aprobación, 
a la firma del Tratado sobre el derecho de marcas en nombre de la Comunidad Europea. 
A tal fin, el Presidente del Consejo será autorizado a designar a las personas habilitadas 
para la firma del Tratado, antes de la conclusión del plazo, que expira el 27 de octubre de 
1995. 
DECISION 
La Decisión del Consejo de la Unión Europea adoptará la forma de una declaración que
