Sag T-32/00 Messe München GmbH / Harmoniseringskontoret for det Indre Marked (varemærker, mønstre og modeller) (OHMI) Immaterialrettigheder
By registered letter of 23 June 1998, Yötuuli gave notice to Neste of its decision to cease purchasing motor fuels from it with effect from 1 July 1998.
I henhold til den af sagsøgeren indgivne ansøgning blev der ansøgt om registrering af varemærket for varer og tjenesteydelser i klasse 16, 35 og 41 i Nice-arrangementet vedrørende international klassificering af varer og tjenesteydelser til brug ved registrering af varemærker af 15. juni 1957.
Before the national court, the defendants contended that the application should be dismissed on the ground that, since the contract contains an exclusive purchasing clause, it is contrary to Article 85(1) of the Treaty, so that it is automatically void by virtue of paragraph 2 of that article.
Sagsøgeren indgav den 19. marts 1996 en ansøgning til Harmoniseringskontoret for det Indre Marked (varemærker, mønstre og modeller) om registrering af ordet »electronica« som EF-varemærke.
The effects of an exclusive purchasing agreement have to be assessed in the economic and legal context in which the agreement occurs and where it may combine with other agreements to have a cumulative effect on competition.
For denne slags varemærke er der mulighed for på ansøgningsskemaet at vælge mellem følgende angivelser: »Ordmærke«, »Figurmærke«, »Tredimensionalt« og »Andre«.
It is therefore necessary to analyse the effects of such an agreement, taken together with other agreements of the same type, on the opportunities of national competitors or those from other Member States to gain access to the relevant market or to increase their market share (Judgment Delimitis).
Sagsøgeren valgte den sidstnævnte angivelse og tilføjede præciseringen »Skriftsstil« (»Schriftzug«).
The national court observes that the dispute raises a question as to the interpretation and application of Article 85(1) and (2) of the Treaty.
Harmoniseringskontorets undersøger fremsatte ved meddelelse af 11. marts 1998 indsigelse mod ansøgningen og orienterede sagsøgeren om, at der bestod en registreringshindring i henhold til artikel 7, stk. 1, litra b) og c), i Rådets
In that connection, it is necessary to examine the nature and extent of all similar contracts which tie a large number of points of sale to various suppliers and to take into account, among the other factors pertaining to the economic and legal context of the agreement, factors relating to opportunities for access to the relevant market.
forordning (EF) nr. 40/94 af 20. december 1993 om EF-varemærker med senere ændringer.
In that regard, it is necessary to examine whether there are real concrete possibilities for a new competitor to enter the network of contracts.
Undersøgeren fastholdt ved afgørelse af 25. august 1998 sin indsigelse og afviste ansøgningen for alle de ansøgte varer og tjenesteydelser.
It is also necessary to take account of the conditions under which competitive forces operate on the relevant market (JudgementDe/i > rafij).
På baggrund heraf skal det fastslås, at sagsøgerens påstand om tilbagebetaling af det af Harmoniseringskontoret opkrævede klagegebyr falder sammen med påstanden vedrørende sagens omkostninger.
By the question it has submitted, the national court is essentially seeking to ascertain whether, in the actual conditions characterising the Finnish market for motor-fuels distribution, supply contracts for those fuels terminable upon one year's notice at any time may be regarded as making only an insignificant contribution to the cumulative effect of closing off that market and therefore as not being caught by the prohibition laid down in Article 85(1), even though they form part of an entire set of agreements entered into by the same supplier which, overall, make a significant contribution to that closing-off.
Sagsøgeren påklagede den 22. oktober 1998 undersøgerens afgørelse til Harmoniseringskontoret i henhold til artikel 59 i forordning nr. 40/94.
For the type of contract in point in the main proceedings, the fundamental factor for the supplier is less the exclusivity clause itself than the duration of the supply obligation assumed by the retailer and that duration is the decisive factor in the market-sealing effect.
Det bemærkes for det første, at ordet »electronica«, som det er præsenteret i varemærkeansøgningen, er skrevet med skrifttypen helvetica.
In that connection, it must be recognised that, as the national court has suggested, fixed term contracts concluded for a number of years are more likely to restrict access to the market than those which may be terminated upon short notice at any time.
Klagen blev afvist ved afgørelse R 177/1998-2 af 17. december 1999 fra Andet Appelkammer ved Harmoniseringskontoret (herefter »den anfægtede afgørelse«). Sagsøgeren modtog den anfægtede afgørelse ved telefax af 21. december 1999 og ved rekommanderet skrivelse med modtagelsesbevis den 31. december 1999.
If an examination of all similar contracts reveals that it is difficult to gain access to the relevant market, it is necessary to assess the extent to which the contracts entered into by the supplier concerned contribute to the cumulative effect produced by the totality of the agreements.
Anvendelsen af en sådan skrifttype bibringer intet figurativt element eller andet, der vil kunne adskille ordet »electronica«, navnlig på grund af dets funktionelle anvendelse, fra et almindeligt ordmærke.
Under the Community rules on competition, responsibility for such an effect of closing off the market must be attributed to the suppliers who make an appreciable contribution thereto.
Det skal i øvrigt understreges, at sagsøgeren i ansøgningsskemaet blandt angivelserne »Ordmærke«, »Figurmærke«, »Tredimensionalt« og »Andre« har valgt den sidste angivelse og tilføjet præciseringen »Skriftsstil« (»Schriftzug«).
Contracts entered into by suppliers whose contribution to the cumulative effect is insignificant do not therefore fall under the prohibition laid down in Article 85(1).
Sagsøgeren har nedlagt påstand om, at den anfægtede afgørelse annulleres, og at Harmoniseringskontoret pålægges at tilbagebetale ham klagegebyret.
In order to assess the extent of the contribution of the contracts concluded by a supplier to the cumulative sealing-off effect, the market position of the contracting parties must be taken into consideration.
Det skal således fastslås, at varemærket »electronica«, der ikke har nogen figurativ karakter, blot er et ordmærke.
That contribution also depends on the duration of the agreements.
Subsidiært: Såfremt varemærket ikke registreres for alle de ansøgte varer og tjenesteydelser, tilføjes en disclaimer.
If the duration is manifestly excessive in relation to the average duration of contracts generally concluded on the relevant market, the individual contract falls under the prohibition laid down in Article 85(1) (Judgment Delimitis).
Pastanden om tilbagebetaling af klagegebyret
Therefore, a change of supplier most often entails, from a technical standpoint, a certain period of time.
Først skal sagsøgerens påstand om tilbagebetaling af klagegebyret behandles.
In its judgment making the reference, the national court found that the contract was part of a network of exclusive purchasing agreements which closed off the larger part of the market in motor fuels.
Det er imidlertid åbenbart, at den manglende accent over »o«'et i ordet »electronica« ikke udgør nogen yderligere egenskab, hvorved tegnet i sin helhed bliver egnet til at adskille sagsøgerens varer og tjenesteydelser fra andre virksomheders (jf. analogt BABY-DRY-dommen og COMPANYLINE-dommen).
In view of those particular factors, a notice period of one year is one which can give reasonable protection to the economic and legal interests of each of the parties to the contract and limit the restrictive effect of the contract on competition on the market in motor-fuels distribution.
Nødvendige udgifter, som er afholdt af parterne i forbindelse med sagen for Appelkammeret, samt udgifter, som er afholdt til de i artikel 131, stk. 4, andet afsnit, omhandlede oversættelser [...] af processkrifter og skriftlige indlæg [for Retten]
Furthermore, it appears from the information which was provided to the national court and which has not been contested, as at 1 July 1998, the number of service stations tied to Neste by a contract of the kind at issue was 27 out of a total of the 573 service stations comprising Neste's network, that is to say, less than 5% of that total or 1.5% of the 1 799 service stations in Finland.
Det kan ikke hævdes, at en spansk- eller portugisisktalende gennemsnitsforbruger af de i den pågældende varemærkeansøgning omhandlede varer og tjenesteydelser vil bemærke den manglende accent over »o«'et i ordet
In those circumstances, when, as in the case before the national court, the contracts which may be terminated upon one year's notice at any
y»electronica« og derudover vil fortolke denne manglende accent som et element, der kan karakterisere det pågældende ord som et varemærke.
time represent only a very small proportion of all the exclusive purchasing agreements entered into by a particular supplier, they must be regarded as making no significant contribution to the cumulative effect, for the purposes of the judgment in Delimitis, and therefore as not being caught by the prohibition laid down by Article 85(1) of the Treaty.
Hvad angår sagsøgerens anbringende støttet på varemærkets registrering i visse lande, bemærkes, at EF-varemærket ifølge første betragtning til forordning nr. 40/94 har til formål at gøre det muligt for virksomhederne »at identificere deres varer eller tjenesteydelser på samme måde i hele Fællesskabet, uden hensyn til grænser«.
the principle of legal certainty. Subdividing the network in that way results from a factual assessment of the position held by the operator concerned on the relevant market, the aim of the assessment being, on the basis of an objective criterion of particular relevance in that it takes into account the market's distinctive features, to limit the number of cases in which a supplier's contracts are declared void to those which, together, contribute significantly to the cumulative effect of sealing off the market.
EF-varemærkesystemet er et selvstændigt system, der består af en helhed af formål og regler, som er særegne for systemet og tilstrækkelige i sig selv, og dets anvendelse er uafhængig af alle nationale systemer.
The fact of subdividing, exceptionally, a supplier's network is not arbitrary nor does it undermine
I øvrigt er »varemærker, som udelukkende består af tegn eller angivelser, der i omsætningen kan tjene til at betegne varens eller tjenesteydelsens art, beskaffenhed, mængde, anvendelse, værdi, geografiske oprindelse, tidspunktet for varens fremstilling eller for præstationen af tjenesteydelsen eller andre egenskaber ved disse«, udelukket fra registrering i henhold til artikel 7, stk. 1, litra c), i forordning nr. 40/94.
'The prohibition laid down by Article 85(1) of the EC Treaty (now Article 81(1) EC) does not apply to an exclusive purchasing agreement entered into by a motor-fuels supplier which the retailer may terminate upon one year's notice at any time where all that supplier's exclusive purchasing agreements, whether considered separately or as a whole, taken together with the network of similar agreements made by the totality of suppliers, have an appreciable effect on the closing-off of the market but where the agreements of the same kind as the agreement at issue in the main proceedings by reason of their duration represent only a very small part of the totality of one supplier's exclusive purchasing agreements, of which the majority are fixed term contracts entered into for more than one year.'
Varemærket »electronica« kan derfor ikke registreres som EF-varemærke, og Harmoniseringskontoret kan således ikke bebrejdes at have truffet den anfægtede afgørelse.
Advocate General N. Fennelly delivered his Opinion at the sitting of the Sixth Chamber on 6 July 2000.
Sagsøgers principale påstand bør derfor forkastes.
He recommended that the Court answer the question as follows:
Den pågældende varemærke ansøgning vedrører kataloger og arrangering af fagmesser og faglige stævnervedrørende elektroniske komponenter og moduler.
'Article 85(1) of the EC Treaty (now Article 81(1) EC) does not apply to an exclusive purchasing agreement concluded by a particular supplier which, because it is terminable on giving a short period oí notice, is economically distinguishable, as regards its effects on competition, from the majority of the oiru-r exclusive purchasing agreements of the same supplier, provided the agreement in question has insigruficant effects on access to the market.

Furthermore, in the application form, the applicant, faced with a choice between the designations *word mark', 'figurative mark', 'three-dimensional' and 'other', chose the latter, specifying 'script' ('Schriftzug').
Generaladvokat P. Léger fremsatte forslag til afgørelse i retsmødet fSjette Afdeling) den 7. december 2000.
The trade mark 'electronica' must therefore not be regarded as figurative in any way but as a simple word mark.

In this case, the Court notes that the word 'electronica' is almost identical to the word 'electrónica' in Spanish and Portuguese.

Da Kommissionen ikke havde modtaget nogen rapport inden fristens udløb, tilstillede den den 30. juni 1998 den portugisiske regering en åbningsskrivelse.
As the Commission had not received any reports within the prescribed period, it sent the Portuguese Government a letter of formal notice on 30 June 1998.
artikel 6, stk. 1 og 2, i Rådets direktiv 86/280/EØF af 12. juni 1986 om grænseværdier og kvalitetsmålsætninger for udledninger af visse farlige stoffer, der er opført på liste I i bilaget til direktiv 76/464, senest ændret ved Rådets direktiv 90/415/EØF af 27. juli 1990,

De portugisiske myndigheder besvarede åbningsskrivelsen ved skrivelser af 21. oktober og 4. november 1998.
The Portuguese authorities replied to the formal notice by letters dated 21 October and 4 November 1998.
Da Kommissionen ikke havde modtaget nogen rapport vedrørende de pågældende direktiver, fremsatte den ved skrivelse af 2. februar 1999 en begrundet udtalelse over for den portugisiske regering.
No reports on the relevant directives were forwarded to the Commission, which sent the Portuguese Government a reasoned opinion by letter dated 2 February 1999.
som bestemmelserne er affattet ved artikel 2, stk. 1, i direktiv 91/692/EØF af 23. december 1991 om standardisering og rationalisering af rapporterne om gennemførelse af en række miljødirektiver, og i henhold til EF-traktatens artikel 5, stk. 1, og artikel 189, stk. 3 (nu artikel 10, stk. 1, EF, og artikel 249, stk. 3, EF), idet den ikke har tilsendt Kommissionen de rapporter, som er foreskrevet i de nævnte direktivbestemmelser.
Since it had received no reports, the Commission was unable to fulfil its own obligation to submit the consolidated Community report prescribed by Article 2(1) of Directive 91/692. It therefore decided to bring the present action.
Da Kommissionen ikke havde modtaget nogen rapport, var det ikke muligt for denne at opfylde sine egne forpligtelser og fremlægge en sammenfattende rapport i henhold til artikel 2, stk. 1, i direktiv 91/692.
as those provisions are worded pursuant to amendment by Article 2(1) of Council Directive 91/692/EEC of 23 December 1991 standardising and rationalising reports on the implementation of certain Directives relating to the environment, the Portuguese Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under the provisions of the directives mentioned above and under the first paragraph of Article 5, and the third paragraph of Article 189, of the EC Treaty (now, the first paragraph of Article 10 EC and the third paragraph of Article 249 EC).
Kommissionen har derfor besluttet at anlægge denne sag.
That directive requires the Member States' reports to be submitted at three-year intervals.
Dette direktiv fastsætter, at medlemsstaterne fremlægger rapporter hvert tredje år.
Under Article 2(1) of Directive 91/692, the Portuguese Republic ought to have submitted the reports for the period 1993 to 1995 on the implementation of the directives at issue by 30
Det står fast, at rapporterne om gennemførelse af direktiverne 76/464,78/659,80/68,82/176,83/513, 84/156, 84/491 og 86/280 ikke er blevet modtaget af Kommission inden for den fastsatte frist, og Kommissionen må derfor gives medhold i søgsmålet.
It is not disputed that the reports on the implementation of Directives 76/464, 78/659, 80/68, 82/176, 83/513, 84/156, 84/491 and 86/280 did not reach the Commission within the prescribed period and that, consequently, the Commission's action in that connection must be regarded as well founded.
Efter artikel 2, stk. 1, i direktiv 91/692 skulle Den Portugisiske Republik senest den 30. september 1995 have fremlagt rapporter om gennemførelsen af de omhandlede direktiver for perioden 1993 til 1995.
