Questions referred







1.


In the case of an alleged infringement by a person established in another Member State of a trade mark granted in the State of the court seised through the use of a keyword (AdWord) identical to that trade mark in an internet search engine which offers its services under various country-specific top-level domains, is the phrase ‘place where the harmful event occurred or may occur’ in Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) 44/2001 (‘Brussels I’) (1) to be interpreted as meaning that:






1.1.


jurisdiction is established only if the keyword is used on the search engine website the top-level domain of which is that of the State of the court seised;










1.2.


jurisdiction is established only if the search engine website on which the keyword is used can be accessed in the State of the court seised;










1.3.


jurisdiction is dependent on the satisfaction of other requirements additional to the accessibility of the website?














2.


If Question 1.3 is answered in the affirmative:
Which criteria are to be used to determine whether jurisdiction under Article 5(3) of Brussels I is established where a trade mark granted in the State of the court seised is used as an AdWord on a search engine website with a country-specific top-level domain different from that of the State of the court seised?
