 ---pagebreak---                                        BEGRÜNDUNG
Am 27. Oktober 1994 verabschiedete die zu diesem Zweck einberufene diplomatische
Konferenz den unter der Schirmherrschaft der WIPO (Weltorganisation für geistiges
Eigentum) ausgearbeiteten Vertrag auf dem Gebiet des Markenrechts. Der Vertrag bleibt
am Sitz der WIPO bis zum 27. Oktober 1995 zur Unterzeichnung offen.
Die Europäische Gemeinschaft, vertreten durch die Kommission, hat an der
diplomatischen Konferenz als Sonderdelegation teilgenommen. Mit Beschluß des Rates
vom 19. September 1994 war die Kommission ermächtigt worden, über den Vertrag
unter den die Gemeinschaftsmarke und die Beteiligung der Gemeinschaft an diesem
Vertrag betreffenden Aspekten zu verhandeln. Am 28. Oktober 1994 unterzeichnete sie
die Schlußakte der diplomatischen Konferenz, ohne indes den Vertrag selbst zu
unterzeichnen.
Es muß festgestellt werden, daß am 16. Dezember 1994 die Schlußakte von
achtundsechzig Delegationen und der Vertrag von neununddreißig Staaten, und darunter
von neun Mitgliedstaaten unterzeichnet worden war. Wichtige Handelspartner der
Gemeinschaft, insbesondere die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, die russische
Föderation und China haben diesen Vertrag ebenfalls unterzeichnet.
INTERESSE DER GEMEINSCHAFT AN DEM VERTRAG ÜBER DAS MARKENRECHT
Der hier in Rede stehende Vertrag betrifft die Gemeinschaft deshalb, weil er auf die
Gemeinschaftsmarke und auf das Harmonisierungsamt für den Binnenmarkt (Marken,
Muster ' und Modelle) Anwendung finden kann. Beim gegenwärtigen Stand der
gemeinschaftlichen Harmonisierung obliegt es indes den Mitgliedstaaten, über die
Anwendung des Vertrags auf die nationalen Marken und die nationalen Ämter zu
entscheiden.
                                                                                  t
Der Vertrag über das Markenrecht vereinfacht bedeutend die Verfahren; hierzu sei auf
folgendes hingewiesen:
•   er begrenzt die Anzahl von Dokumenten, die der Anmelder einer Marke bei dem
    zuständigen Amt vorlegen muß;
•   er beseitigt langfristig die Verpflichtung zur Beglaubigung oder Bescheinigung der
    Unterschrift des Anmelders durch eine Behörde des Staates, indem die Marke
    hinterlegt wird;
•   er führt Formblätter ein, die von allen Vertragspartnern gegenseitig anerkannt
    werden.
Diese Vereinfachung soll dazuführen, daß die Kosten, die für die gemeinschaftliche
Industrie in dritten Ländern bei der Eintragung, Verlängerung oder Übertragung der
Marken entstehen, erheblich gesenkt werden. Die gemeinschaftliche Industrie hat dieses
Instrument stets befürwortet.
                                          A
 ---pagebreak---  Im übrigen ist dieser Vertrag mit dem TRIPs-Abkommen (Trade Related Aspects of
 Intellectual Property Rights - handelsbezogene Aspekte der geistigen Eigentumsrechte)
 des GATT vereinbar, das er ergänzt.
 Im Vordergrund der Aussprache in der diplomatischen Konferenz stand die Frage des
 eigenen Stimmrechts der Gemeinschaft1.
 Für die Gemeinschaft ist die vertraglich vorgesehene Lösung zufriedenstellend. Anders
als im Vertragsentwurf (Dokument TLT/DC/3 vom 28. März 1994) vorgesehen, wurde
die Versammlung der Vertragspartner nicht geschaffen.Damit erübrigte sich ein
 Stimmrecht der Versammlung. Keiner der Vertragspartner wird über ein Stimmrecht
 verfügen.
 Im Anschluß an eine diplomatische Konferenz, deren Einberufung von der Allgemeinen
 Versammlung der WIPO zur gegebenen Zeit beschlossen wird, kann der Vertrag revidiert
werden. Dann wird sich das Problem des eigenen Stimmrechts der Gemeinschaft erneut
stellen.
MÖGLICHKEIT FÜR DIE GEMEINSCHAFT, VERTRAGSPARTNER ZU WERDEN
Gemäß Artikel 19.1 ii des Vertrages kann die Europäische Gemeinschaft Vertragspartner
werden2. Derzeitig erscheint die Ratifizierung des Vertrags über das Markenrecht durch
den Rat verfrüht. Es erweist sich nämlich notwendig, die Vereinbarkeit der Regelungen
über die Gemeinschaftsmarke und das Markenamt in Alicante mit diesem Vertrag
sicherzustellen. Zunächst müssen jedoch alle in Aussicht genommenen Maßnahmen
verabschiedet werden, damit das Markenamt in Alicante voll funktionsfähig werden
kann. Im Anschluß un diese Maßnahmen kann sodann die Ratifizierung dieses Vertrags
im Namen der Gemeinschaft in Erwägung gezogen werden.
Hingegen ist es angesichts der vorstehenden Ausführungen von größter Bedeutung, daß
die Gemeinschaft den Vertrag über das Markenrecht vor Ablauf des Termins vom
27. Oktober 1995 unterzeichnet. Mit der Unterzeichnung würde nämlich das Interesse der
Gemeinschaft an den Marken und an der Vereinfachung der sie betreffenden
Verwaltungsverfahren bezeugt und es könnte davon eine Anregung für andere Staaten
ausgehen, ähnlich zu verfahren..

    und 3) des Artikel 20.1 und 3, Mitglied dieses Vertrages werden:...

    können mit Wirkung auf das Gebiet, auf das sich der Gründungsvertrag der zwischenstaatlichen
    Organisation erstreckt, in allen Mitgliedstaaten oder in den Mitgliedstaaten, die in der entsprechenden
    Anmeldung benannt wurden, sofern alle Mitgliedstaaten der zwischenstaatlichen Organisation auch
    Mitglieder der Organisation sind;...".

 ---pagebreak--- Durch ihren Beitrag zur Schaffung eines günstigen Umfelds für den Vertrag über das
Markenrecht würde die Gemeinschaft Marksteine für eine weitgehende Beteiligung an
diesem Vertrag gemäß den Wünschen und den wirtschaftlichen Interessen an der
gemeinschaftlichen Industrie setzen.                            *
SCHLUSSFOLGERUNG
Deshalb muß vorgeschlagen werden, daß der Rat beschließt, vorbehaltlich der
Genehmigung den Vertrag über das Markenrecht im Namen der Europäischen
Gemeinschaft zu unterzeichnen. Zu diesem Zweck wird der Präsident des Rates
ermächtigt, die zur Unterzeichnung des Vertrags befugten Personen vor der am
27. Oktober 1995 ablaufenden Frist zu benennen.
