COMISSÃO DAS COMUNIDADES EUROPEIAS 
Bruxelas, 27.03.1995 
COM(95) 92 final 
Recomendação de 
DECISÀO DO CONSELHO 
que autoriza a assinatura, em nome da Comunidade Europeia, 
do Tratado do Direito das Marcas adoptado em Genebra 
em 27 de Outubro de 1994, sob os auspícios da OMPI 
(Organização Mundial da Propriedade Intelectual) 
(apresentada pela Comissão) 
EXPOSIÇÃO DE MOTIVOS 
Em 27 de Outubro de 1994, a Conferência diplomática convocada para o efeito adoptou o 
Tratado do Direito das Marcas, elaborado sob os auspícios da OMPI (Organização 
Mundial da Propriedade Intelectual). Este Tratado estará aberto à assinatura na sede da 
OMPI até 27 de Outubro de 1995. 
A Comunidade Europeia, representada pela Comissão, participou na Conferência 
diplomática como estatuto de delegação especial. Por decisão do Conselho de 19 de 
Setembro de 1994, a Comissão foi autorizada a negociar o Tratado no que diz respeito 
aos aspectos relativos à marca comunitária e à participação da Comunidade no referido 
Tratado. Em 28 de Outubro de 1994, a Comissão assinou a Acta final da Conferência 
diplomática, não tendo, no entanto, assinado o Tratado propriamente dito. 
Saliente-se que, em 16 de Dezembro de 1994, a Acta final tinha sido assinada por 68 
delegações e o Tratado por 39 Estados, dos quais nove Estados-membros. O Tratado foi 
igualmente assinado por importantes parceiros comerciais da Comunidade, 
nomeadamente, os Estados Unidos da América, a Federação Russa e a China. 
INTERESSE DA COMUNIDADE PELO TRATADO DO DIREITO DAS MARCAS 
O Tratado em questão apresenta interesse para a Comunidade na medida em que pode 
aplicar-se à marca comunitária e ao Instituto de Harmonização do Mercado Interno 
(marcas, desenhos e modelos) de Alicante. No estádio actual da harmonização 
comunitária compete, em contrapartida, aos Estados-membros decidir da aplicação do 
referido Tratado às suas marcas e institutos nacionais. 
O Tratado do Direito das Marcas simplifica de forma significativa os processos a utilizar, 
sendo de recordar que: 
• reduz o número de documentos que o depositante de uma marca deve apresentar ao 
instituto competente, 
• elimina, a prazo, a obrigação de autentificação ou de reconhecimento da assinatura do 
depositante por parte de uma autoridade pública do Estado do depósito da marca, 
• introduz formulários-tipo reconhecidos mutuamente por todas as partes contratantes. 
Esta simplificação deveria conduzir a uma redução considerável dos custos suportados 
pela indústria comunitária com o registo, renovação ou transferência das marcas em países 
terceiros. A indústria comunitária apoiou desde sempre este instrumento. 
Além disso, este Tratado é compatível e complementar relativamente ao Acordo TRTPs 
(Direitos de Propriedade Intelectual relacionados com o Comércio). 
A^ 
Durante a Conferência diplomática a questão que esteve no centro do debate foi o direito 
de voto autónomo da Comunidade1. 
A solução prevista no Tratado é satisfatória para a Comunidade. De facto, contrariamente 
ao projecto de tratado (doe. TLT/DC/3 de 28 de Março de 1994), não foi criada a 
Assembleia composta pelas partes contratantes. Deste modo, deixou de existir a 
necessidade de prever um direito de voto na Asssembleia. Nenhuma das partes 
contratantes disporá desse direito de voto. 
O Tratado poderá ser revisto na sequência de uma Conferência diplomática, cuja 
convocação será decidida, no momento oportuno, pela Assembleia Geral da OMPI. Nessa 
ocasião colocar-se-á de novo o problema do direito de voto autónomo da Comunidade. 
POSSIBILIDADE DE A COMUNIDADE SER PARTE NO TRATADO 
Em conformidade com n° 1, ponto (ii), do artigo 19° do Tratado, a Comunidade Europeia 
pode tornar-se parte contratante2. Neste estádio, a conclusão por parte do Conselho do 
Tratado do Direito das Marcas parece prematura. De facto, verifica-se a necessidade de 
medidas destinadas a assegurar a conformidade da regulamentação sobre a marca 
comunitária e sobre o Instituto de Alicante. Antes de o fazer, é necessário adoptar todas 
as medidas já previstas para que o Instituto seja plenamente operacional. Nessa altura, 
será então possível tomar em consideração a conclusão, em nome da Comunidade, deste 
Tratado. 
Em contrapartida, à luz destes aspectos, é da maior importância que a Comunidade assine, 
até 27 de Outubro de 1995, o Tratado do Direito das Marcas. A assinatura testemunharia, 
com efeito, o interesse que a Comunidade atribui às marcas e à simplificação dos 
respectivos processos e poderia ter um efeito de arrastamento relativamente a outros 
Estados. 
A Comunidade, ao contribuir para a criação de um clima favorável ao Tratado do Direito 
das Marcas, lançaria as bases para uma maior participação no referido Tratado, de acordo 
com os desejos e interesses económicos da indústria comunitária. 
CONCLUSÃO 
Por conseguinte, é necessário propor ao Conselho que decida proceder, sob reserva de 
aprovação, à assinatura do Tratado do Direito das Marcas em nome da Comunidade 
Cf. doc. SEC (94) 950 final de 13 de Junho de 1994. 
N° 1 do artigo 19°: "As entidades a seguir referidas podem assinar e, sob reserva dos n°s 2 e 3 do 
presente artigo e dos n°s 1 e 3 do artigo 20°, podem ser partes no presente Tratado:.... 
ii) Qualquer organização intergovernamental que gere um instituto junto do qual podem ser 
registadas marcas com efeitos no território a que se aplica o Tratado constitutivo da organização 
intergovernamental, em todos os seus Estados-membros ou nos Estados-membros designados para o 
efeito no pedido correspondente, sob reserva de todos os Estados membros da organização 
intergovernamental serem membros da organização;....".

habilitadas a assinar o Tratado antes de 27 de Outubro de 1995, data limite fixada para o 
efeito.

to the request Form provided for in the Regulations, 
(ii) where the Contracting Party allows the transmittal of
