Article 1(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2012 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters
must be interpreted as meaning that the concept of ‘civil and commercial matters’, within the meaning of that provision, does not include an action of a public authority of a Member State against companies established in another Member State seeking a declaration of the existence of restrictive practices, an order penalising those practices and an order that they cease in relation to suppliers established in the first Member State, where that public authority exercises powers to bring proceedings or powers of investigation falling outside the scope of the ordinary legal rules applicable to relationships between private individuals.

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


change the contested decision so that






a.


decision No B 3 077 353 of the Opposition Division of 20 May 2021 is annulled to the extent in which it upheld the opposition filed by the other party to the proceedings before the Board of Appeal against the application of the trade mark at issue; and










b.


the opposition filed by the other party to the proceedings before the Board of Appeal against the application of the trade mark at issue is rejected in its entirety;














—


order EUIPO to pay the costs.





Pleas in law







—


The Board of Appeal (and the Opposition Division) erred in applying Art. 47(2) and (3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1001 of the European Parliament and of the Council by inferring the existence of the genuine use of earlier trade mark No 999 938; the evidence submitted by the other party to the proceedings before the Board of Appeal did not allow the inference of genuine use for any of the earlier trade marks;










—


The Board of Appeal (and the Opposition Division) erred in applying Art. 8(5) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1001 of the European Parliament and of the Council by finding similarity between the trade marks in question; the trade mark at issue and the earlier rights are dissimilar pursuant to Art. 8(1)(b), (4) and (5) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1001 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Tribunal Supremo

Parties to the main proceedings


Appellant: M.C.S.

Respondent: Banco Santander, S.A.

Question referred

Must the provisions of Article 34(1)(a) and (b), read together with those of Article 53(1) and (3) and Article 60(2), first subparagraph, points (b) and (c), of Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 15 May 2014, (1) be interpreted as meaning that the possible claim or right that arises from a judgment against the successor entity to Banco Popular Español, S.A., as a consequence of the nullity of the purchase of a capital instrument (preference shares) which was ultimately converted into ordinary shares before the measures for the resolution of Banco Popular were adopted (7 June 2017), could be considered a liability affected by the write-down provision of Article 53(3) of Directive 2014/59, in as much as it relates to ‘unaccrued’ obligations or claims, such that it would be discharged and would not be enforceable against Banco Santander, as the successor entity to Banco Popular, where the claim from which that obligation arises was brought after the procedure for the resolution of the bank had been concluded?
Or, conversely, must those provisions be interpreted as meaning that the abovementioned claim or right constitutes an ‘accrued’ obligation (Article 53(3) of the Directive) or ‘liability already accrued’ at the time of the resolution of the bank (Article 60(2)(b)) — and, as such, excluded from the effects of the discharge or cancellation of those obligations or claims, even if the ordinary shares had been written off and cancelled — and, consequently, [that the abovementioned claim or right] is enforceable against Banco Santander, as the successor to Banco Popular, even where the claim from which that judgment ordering payment of compensation arises was brought after the procedure for the resolution of the bank had been concluded?
