New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
2011/C 19/05




National side of the new commemorative 2-euro coin intended for circulation and issued by France

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), the Member States of the euro area and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the Community providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national side features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.
Issuing country: France
Subject of commemoration: 30th anniversary of the Day of Music
Description of the design: The inner part of the coin depicts a cheerful crowd, with a stylised image of a musical instrument and notes floating in the air, denoting the atmosphere of celebration on the Day of Music, which has been celebrated in France every summer solstice since 1981. The words ‘Fête de la MUSIQUE’ and the date ‘21 JUIN 2011’ appear at the centre of the drawing. On top, slanting rightwards, are the words ‘30e ANNIVERSAIRE’, and the country indication ‘RF’ appears at the bottom.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
Number of coins to be issued: 10 million
Date of issue: June 2011


(1)  See OJ C 373, 28.12.2001, p. 1 for the national sides of all the coins issued in 2002.

(2)  See the conclusions of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council of 10 February 2009 and the Commission Recommendation of 19 December 2008 on common guidelines for the national sides and the issuance of euro coins intended for circulation (OJ L 9, 14.1.2009, p. 52).

Language in which the application was lodged: German

Parties


Applicant: V. Fraas GmbH (Helmbrechts-Wüstenselbitz, Germany) (represented by R. Kunze and G. Würtenberger, lawyers)

Defendant: Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs)

Form of order sought







—


Annul the decision of the Fourth Board of Appeal of the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs) of 15 November 2010 in Case R 1284/2010-4;










—


Order the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments


Community trade mark concerned: Figurative mark, which shows a tartan pattern in pink, violet, beige and dark grey colours, for goods in classes 18, 24 and 25.

Decision of the Examiner: Rejection of the registration.

Decision of the Board of Appeal: Dismissal of the appeal.

Pleas in law: Infringement of Article 7(1)(b) read in conjunction with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 207/2009, (1) since the trade mark concerned is distinctive, and infringement of Articles 75 and 76 of Regulation (EC) No 207/2009 because the Board of Appeal failed to deal with the applicant’s extensive factual and legal submissions.
