Raccomandazione di 
DECISIONE DEL CONSIGLIO 
che autorizza la firma, a nome della Comunità europea, 
del Trattato sul diritto dei marchi, adottato a Ginevra 
il 27 ottobre 1994 sotto l'egida dell'OMPI 
(Organizzazione Mondiale della Proprietà Intellettuale) 
(presentata dalla Commissione) 
RELAZIONE 
Il 27 ottobre 1994 la Conferenza diplomatica all'uopo convocata ha adottato il Trattato 
sul diritto dei marchi, elaborato sotto l'egida dell'OMPI (Organizzazione mondiale della 
proprietà intellettuale). Il Trattato resterà aperto alla firma presso la sede dell'OMPI fino 
al 27 ottobre 1995. 
La Comunità europea, rappresentata dalla Commissione, ha partecipato alla Conferenza 
diplomatica come delegazione speciale. Con decisione del Consiglio del 
19 settembre 1994, la Commissione era stata autorizzata a negoziare il Trattato per gli 
aspetti relativi al marchio comunitario e alla partecipazione della Comunità a detto 
Trattato. Il 28 ottobre 1994 essa ha firmato l'Atto finale della Conferenza diplomatica, 
senza però firmare il Trattato stesso. 
Va osservato che alla data del 16 dicembre 1994 l'Atto finale era stato firmato da 
sessantotto delegazioni ed il Trattato da trentanove Stati, tra cui nove Stati membri della 
Comunità. Hanno firmato il Trattato anche importanti partner commerciali della 
Comunità, come gli Stati Uniti d'America, la Federazione di Russia e la Cina. 
INTERESSE DELLA COMUNITÀ PER IL TRATTATO SUL DIRITTO DEI MARCHI 
Questo Trattato riguarda la Comunità in quanto si può applicare al marchio comunitario e 
all'Ufficio per l'armonizzazione nel mercato interno (marchi, disegni e modelli) di 
Alicante. Nell'attuale situazione di armonizzazione comunitaria, spetta invece agli Stati 
membri decidere quanto all'applicazione di tale Trattato ai loro marchi e ai loro uffici 
nazionali. 
Il Trattato sul diritto dei marchi semplifica notevolmente le procedure; esso, ad esempio, 
• limita il numero di documenti che la persona che intende depositare un marchio deve 
fornire all'ufficio competente, 
• abolisce, entro un certo termine, l'obbligo di autenticazione o di certificazione della 
firma della persona che deposita il marchio da parte di un'autorità pubblica dello 
Stato in cui il marchio viene depositato, 
• introduce moduli tipo, riconosciuti su base reciproca da tutte le parti contraenti. 
Questa semplificazione dovrebbe comportare una considerevole riduzione delle spese che 
l'industria comunitaria deve sostenere negli Stati terzi all'atto della registrazione, del 
rinnovo o del trasferimento dei marchi. L'industria comunitaria è sempre stata favorevole 
a questo strumento. 
Il Trattato, d'altro canto, è compatibile e complementare all'accordo TRIPs (Trade 
Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) sugli aspetti dei diritti di proprietà 
intellettuale attinenti al commercio, ivi compreso il commercio di merci contraffatte.

Nel corso della Conferenza diplomatica è stato oggetto di vivo dibattito il diritto di voto 
autonomo della Comunità1. 
La soluzione data alla questione nel Trattato è ritenuta soddisfacente per la Comunità. 
Infatti , contrariamente a quanto previsto nel progetto di Trattato (documento TLT/DC/3 
del 28 marzo 1994), l'Assemblea composta dalle parti contraenti non è stata istituita. E' 
così venuta meno la necessità di prevedere un diritto di voto nell'Assemblea. Nessuna 
delle parti contraenti disporrà di un diritto di voto. 
Il Trattato potrà essere riveduto a seguito di una Conferenza diplomatica la cui 
convocazione sarà decisa, al momento opportuno, dall'Assemblea generale dell'OMPI. In 
tale occasione si riporrà il problema del diritto di voto autonomo della Comunità. 
POSSIBILITÀ PER LA COMUNITÀ DI DIVENTARE PARTE CONTRAENTE DEL TRATTATO 
Conformemente all'articolo 19, paragrafo 1, lettera ii) del Trattato, la Comunità europea 
può diventare parte contraente2. Per il momento, la conclusione da parte del Consiglio del 
Trattato sul diritto dei marchi sembra prematura; sono necessarie, infatti, misure che 
garantiscano la conformità della normativa sul marchio comunitario e sull'Ufficio di 
Alicante con il Trattato. Prima di procedere in tal modo, è necessario adottare tutte le 
misure già previste per rendere completamente operativo l'Ufficio di Alicante. Quando 
queste saranno state adottate, sarà allora possibile prendere in considerazione la 
conclusione, a nome della Comunità, di questo Trattato. 
D'altro canto, è estremamente importante, visto quanto precede, che la Comunità firmi il 
Trattato sul diritto dei marchi entro il termine del 27 ottobre 1995. La firma 
testimonierebbe infatti l'interesse che la Comunità attribuisce ai marchi e alla 
semplificazione delle procedure ad essi relative e potrebbe avere un effetto trainante per 
altri Stati. 
Contribuendo ad instaurare un clima favorevole al Trattato sul diritto dei marchi, la 
Comunità creerebbe i presupposti per un'ampia partecipazione a detto Trattato, 
conformemente agli auspici e agli interessi economici dell'industria comunitaria. 
Cfr. doc. SEC (94) 950 def. del 13 giugno 1994. 
Articolo 19, paragrafo 1: "Gli enti indicati in appresso possono firmare e, fatti salvi i paragrafi 2 e 3 e 
l'articolo 20, paragrafi 1 e 3, possono diventare parti contraenti del presente trattato :... 
ii) qualsiasi organizzazione intergovernativa che gestisca un ufficio presso il quale possono essere 
registrati marchi con effetto sul territorio su cui si applica il trattato costitutivo dell'organizzazione 
intergovernativa, in tutti i suoi Stati membri o negli Stati membri designati a tal fine nella relativa 
domanda, purché tutti gli Stati membri dell'organizzazione intergovernativa siano membri 
dell'Organizzazione;...". 
CONCLUSIONI 
li' necessario, di conseguenza, proporre al Consiglio di decidere di procedere alla firma, 
con riserva di approvazione, del Trattato sul diritto dei marchi a nome della Comunità 
europea. A tal fine il Presidente del Consiglio sarà autorizzato a designare le persone 
abilitate a firmare il Trattato prima della scadenza del termine di preclusione, fissato al 
27 ottobre 1995. 
DECISIONE 
La decisione del Consiglio dell'Unione europea assumerà la forma di un'iscrizione al 
verbale della sua sessione.
