If all of the contested goods are removed by the surrender, the invalidity proceedings will be closed without a decision on the substance.
Če je z odpovedjo odstranjeno vse izpodbijano blago, se postopek za ugotavljanje ničnosti konča brez meritorne odločbe.
The application will be closed due to the surrender.
Zahteva se zaradi odpovedi konča.
If the applicant replies and declares to have a legitimate interest in obtaining a decision on the substance, the Office will assess the request.
Če vložnik zahteve odgovori in izjavi, da ima legitimen interes za pridobitev meritorne odločbe, bo Urad proučil njegovo zahtevo.
A claim to a legitimate interest will only be accepted where the applicant claims and proves why a decision on the substance of the declaration of invalidity is required, and why the surrender of the contested mark is not sufficient.
Trditev o legitimnem interesu bo sprejeta le, če vložnik zahteve trdi, da je potrebna meritorna odločba o ugotovitvi ničnosti, in dokaže, zakaj je potrebna, pa tudi, zakaj odpoved izpodbijani blagovni znamki ne zadostuje.
Claims without any supporting evidence and without any explanation as to why the surrender of the mark is insufficient (as opposed to a declaration of invalidity) will be rejected.
Zahteve brez dokazov in pojasnila, zakaj odpoved blagovni znamki ne zadostuje (v nasprotju z ugotovitvijo ničnosti), bodo zavrnjene.
In addition, the legitimate interest must be real, direct and present.
Poleg tega mora biti legitimni interes resničen, neposreden in sedanji.
Requests based on possible future conflicts or presumed conflict arising from the conversion of the contested EUTM to a national registration will be rejected.
Zahteve, ki temeljijo na možnih prihodnjih nasprotjih ali domnevnih nasprotjih, ki izhajajo iz konverzije izpodbijane blagovne znamke EU v nacionalno registracijo, bodo zavrnjene.
As cases where a legitimate interest is claimed will mostly involve pending court proceedings, the party claiming this interest must lay out the relief sought in these court proceedings.
Ker zadeve, v katerih se zatrjuje legitimni interes, vključujejo predvsem sodne postopke v teku, mora stranka, ki zatrjuje ta interes, določiti ukrep, ki se zahteva v teh sodnih postopkih.
Only in cases where a legitimate interest is claimed and proven by the applicant, will the Office maintain the suspension of the surrender.
Urad bo ustavitev odpovedi ohranil le, če vložnik zahteve, ki zatrjuje legitimni interes, tega tudi dokaže.
In all other cases, the surrender will be recorded and the cancellation proceedings will continue for the remaining goods and/or services against which the cancellation is directed that were not removed by the partial surrender, if any.
V vseh drugih primerih se odpoved evidentira, postopek izbrisa pa se nadaljuje za preostalo blago in/ali storitve, zoper katere je usmerjen izbris in ki niso bile odstranjene z delno odpovedjo, če obstajajo.
If all of the contested goods are removed by the surrender, the invalidity proceedings will be closed without a decision on the substance.
Če je z odpovedjo odstranjeno vse izpodbijano blago, se postopek za ugotovitev ničnosti konča brez meritorne odločbe.
4.3.1.3 The surrender predates the cancellation application
Odpoved je starejša od zahteve za izbris
Where surrender is declared before the filing of the cancellation action, but had not yet been entered into the Register at the time of filing the application, the Office will take note of the surrender and enter it in the Register, irrespective of the filing of any later cancellation actions, including applications for revocation where the cancellation applicant asks for an earlier date to be fixed pursuant to Article 62(1) EUTMR.
Če je odpoved prijavljena pred vložitvijo zahteve za izbris, vendar ob vložitvi zahteve še ni bila vpisana v register, jo bo Urad upošteval in vpisal v register ne glede na vložitev katerih koli poznejših zahtev za izbris, vključno z zahtevami za razveljavitev, kadar vložnik zahteve za izbris na podlagi člena 62(1) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU zahteva določitev zgodnejšega datuma.
For the Office to suspend the entry in the Register of the surrender as explained above, it must have been declared subsequent to the submission of the cancellation application.
Urad bo vpis odpovedi v register, kot je bilo pojasnjeno zgoraj, ustavil le, če je bila prijavljena po vložitvi zahteve za izbris.
4.3.1.4 Partial surrender does not affect the extent of the cancellation
Delna odpoved ne vpliva na obseg izbrisa
Where a partial surrender does not affect any of the contested goods and/or services, the partial surrender will be registered as described in the Guidelines, Part E, Register Operations, Section 1, Changes in a Registration, and the applicant in the cancellation proceedings will not be informed.
Če delna odpoved ne vpliva na izpodbijano blago in/ali storitve, bo delna odpoved evidentirana, kot je opisano v Smernicah, del E: Registri, razdelek 1: Spremembe registracije, vložnik zahteve v postopku izbrisa pa o tem ne bo obveščen.
4.3.1.5 Surrender to be filed by way of a separate document
Odpoved je treba vložiti z ločeno vlogo
According to Article 17(7) EUTMDR, during the course of cancellation proceedings, where the EUTM proprietor wishes to surrender the contested mark, it must do so by way of a separate document.
Če se v skladu s členom 17(7) Delegirane uredbe imetnik blagovne znamke EU med postopkom izbrisa želi odpovedati izpodbijani blagovni znamki, mora to storiti z ločeno vlogo.
4.3.2 Withdrawals
Umiki
The cancellation applicant can withdraw its application for cancellation at any time of the proceedings.
Vložnik zahteve za izbris lahko to zahtevo umakne na kateri koli stopnji postopka.
The Office will inform the EUTM proprietor about the withdrawal and close the proceedings.
Urad bo imetnika blagovne znamke EU obvestil o umiku in končal postopek.
4.3.3 Contested mark expires or is cancelled in parallel proceedings
Veljavnost izpodbijane znamke poteče ali je ta izbrisana v vzporednem postopku
Similarly to the process explained above in paragraph 4.3.1.2, where some (or all) of the contested goods and services are removed as a consequence of the final expiry of the contested EUTM, or as a consequence of a refusal in parallel revocation proceedings, the Office will inform the applicant and invite it to inform the Office whether it has a legitimate interest in obtaining a decision on the merits from an earlier date.
Podobno kot v postopku, opisanem zgoraj odstavku 4.3.1.2, v katerem se nekatero (ali vse) izpodbijano blago in storitve odstranijo zaradi dokončnega poteka veljavnosti izpodbijane blagovne znamke EU ali zaradi zavrnitve v vzporednem postopku za razveljavitev, bo Urad vložnika zahteve o tem obvestil in ga pozval, naj ga obvesti, ali ima legitimen interes za pridobitev meritorne odločbe od zgodnejšega datuma.
The same applies as has already been explained in paragraph 4.3.1.2, where a legitimate interest will have to be claimed and proven by the applicant.
Kot je bilo že pojasnjeno v odstavku 4.3.1.2, enako velja, kadar mora vložnik zahteve uveljavljati legitimni interes in ga dokazati.
If a legitimate interest is not claimed or proven, or where the contested mark was invalidated from the outset in the parallel invalidity proceedings, the proceedings will be closed without a decision on the substance.
Če se legitimni interes ne uveljavlja ali dokaže oziroma če je bila izpodbijana znamka v vzporednem postopku za ugotovitev ničnosti od začetka razglašena za nično, se postopek konča brez meritorne odločbe.
The application will be closed due to the expiry or cancellation of the contested mark in the parallel case.
Zahteva se konča zaradi poteka veljavnosti izpodbijane znamke ali zaradi njenega izbrisa v vzporedni zadevi.
In the event that the expiry or the cancellation in parallel proceedings does not remove all of the contested goods, and a legitimate interest has not been claimed or proven, the proceedings will continue for the remaining goods and/or services against which the cancellation is directed that were not removed.
Če se v primeru poteka veljavnosti ali izbrisa v vzporednem postopku ne odstrani vse izpodbijano blago in se legitimni interes ni uveljavljal ali ni bil dokazan, se bo postopek nadaljeval za preostalo blago in/ali storitve, zoper katere je usmerjen izbris in ki niso bile odstranjene.
4.3.4 Decision on the apportionment of costs
Odločba o porazdelitvi stroškov
Article 109(4) and (6) EUTMR
Člen 109(4) in (6) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU
The party that terminates the proceedings by withdrawing the application for revocation or the application for a declaration of invalidity, or by not renewing registration of the EUTM, or by surrendering the EUTM, will bear the fees and the costs incurred by the other party (Article 109(4) EUTMR), except in cases where the withdrawal is a consequence of a surrender (see paragraphs 4.3.1.1 and 4.3.1.2 above), in which case the costs will be borne by the EUTM proprietor.
Stranka, ki ustavi postopek z umikom zahteve za razveljavitev ali zahteve za ugotovitev ničnosti, ali tako, da ne podaljša registracije blagovne znamke EU ali se blagovni znamki EU odpove, bo plačala pristojbine in stroške, ki jih ima druga stranka (člen 109(4) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU), razen če je umik posledica odpovedi (glej odstavka 4.3.1.1 in 4.3.1.2 zgoraj), v tem primeru stroške krije imetnik blagovne znamke EU.
In addition, the parties may indicate that a surrender or a withdrawal is a consequence of an agreement they have reached, and that a decision on costs is not necessary.
Stranki lahko poleg tega navedeta, da je odpoved ali umik posledica dogovora, ki sta ga dosegli, in da odločba o stroških ni potrebna.
The Office will not issue a decision on costs if such a request is received together with a request for surrender or withdrawal and is signed by both parties.
Urad ne bo izdal odločbe o stroških, če takšno zahtevo, ki sta jo podpisali obe stranki, prejme skupaj z zahtevo za odpoved ali umik.
In cases where no indication is given as to whether the parties have agreed on the costs, the Office will take a decision on costs immediately.
Kadar ni jasno, ali sta se stranki sporazumeli glede stroškov, bo Urad nemudoma sprejel odločbo o stroških.
The decision on costs already issued will not be revised by the Office in the event that the parties provide such information after the date of the decision.
Urad ne bo spreminjal že izdane odločbe o stroških, če stranki to informacijo predložita po datumu njene izdaje.
For more details on the Office's practice of apportionment and fixing of costs in inter partes proceedings, see the Guidelines, Part C, Opposition, Section 1, Procedural Matters, paragraphs 5.5 and 5.6.
Za več podrobnosti o praksi Urada v zvezi s porazdelitvijo in določitvijo stroškov v postopku inter partes glej Smernice, del C: Ugovor, razdelek 1: Postopkovne zadeve, odstavka 5.5 in 5.6.
Article 15(5) EUTMDR
Člen 15(5) Delegirane uredbe
Where an application for revocation or declaration of invalidity is rejected in its entirety as inadmissible pursuant to Article 15(2), (3) or (4) EUTMDR, prior to the notification of the application under Article 17(1) EUTMDR, no decision on costs will be taken.
Če se zahteva za razveljavitev ali ugotovitev ničnosti v skladu s členom 15(2), (3) ali (4) Delegirane uredbe v celoti zavrže kot nedopustna pred obvestilom na podlagi člena 17(1) Delegirane uredbe, se odločitev o stroških ne sprejme.
4.4 Applications for revocation and for invalidity against the same EUTM
Zahteve za razveljavitev in ugotovitev ničnosti zoper isto blagovno znamko EU
If the same EUTM is subject to both revocation and invalidity proceedings, the Office has the power of discretion to decide in each case, taking into account the principles of economy of proceedings and administrative efficiency, whether one of the proceedings has to be suspended until the other has terminated, or in which order the proceedings should be decided.
Če zoper isto blagovno znamko EU poteka postopek za razveljavitev in ugotovitev ničnosti, ima Urad diskrecijsko pravico, da na podlagi načel gospodarnosti postopka in upravne učinkovitosti v vsaki zadevi odloči, ali je treba en postopek začasno ustaviti, dokler se drugi ne konča, ali v katerem vrstnem redu bo odločal o postopku.
If it is first decided that the EUTM is totally invalid (or partially, but for all the goods/services against which the revocation is directed), and once this decision becomes final, the parallel revocation proceedings will automatically be closed, as they no longer have any object.
Če najprej odloči, da je blagovna znamka EU v celoti nična (ali delno, vendar za vse blago/storitve, ki so predmet razveljavitve), se vzporedni postopek za razveljavitev po dokončnosti te odločbe samodejno konča, saj ni več predmeta odločanja.
The costs are at the discretion of the Office (Article 109(5) EUTMR), which will usually conclude that each party has to bear its own costs.
Urad o stroških odloča na podlagi svoje diskrecijske pravice (člen 109(5) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU), pri čemer bo običajno sklenil, da vsaka stranka nosi svoje stroške.
However, taking into account the different effects of revocation (ex nunc) and of a declaration of invalidity (ex tunc), when it is first decided that the EUTM should be totally revoked (or partially, but for all the goods/services against which the invalidity is directed), the Office will inform the applicant of this decision when it becomes final and will invite it to submit its observations on the closure of the invalidity proceedings.
Ker se učinka razveljavitve (ex nunc) in ugotovitve ničnosti (ex tunc) razlikujeta, bo Urad, kadar najprej odloči, da je treba blagovno znamko EU v celoti razveljaviti (ali delno, vendar za vse blago/storitve, za katere se ugotovi ničnost), vložnika zahteve obvestil o svoji odločitvi, ko bo postala dokončna, in ga pozval, naj predloži svoje pripombe glede postopka za ugotovitev ničnosti.
If the applicant demonstrates a sufficient legal interest in obtaining a declaratory invalidity decision, the proceedings will continue.
Če vložnik zahteve izkaže dovolj pravnega interesa za odločbo o ugotovitvi ničnosti, se bo postopek nadaljeval.
4.5 Contested international registrations designating the EU
Izpodbijane mednarodne registracije, v katerih je imenovana EU
Article 190(2) and Article 198 EUTMR
Člen 190(2) in člen 198 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU
Cancellation proceedings can also be directed against international registrations (IRs) designating the European Union.
Postopek izbrisa se lahko nanaša tudi na mednarodne registracije, v katerih je imenovana Evropska unija.
The specific rules that are applicable in these cases (in particular in connection with the filing date and the relevant time limit for proof of use) can be found in the Guidelines, Part M, International Marks.
Posebna pravila, ki se uporabljajo v teh primerih (zlasti v zvezi z datumom vložitve in ustreznimi roki za dokaz o uporabi), so navedena v Smernicah, del M: Mednarodne znamke.
A cancellation application against an IR may be filed after the date of the publication of the IR designating the European Union in the Official Bulletin of the Office (M.3.1.
Zahtevo za izbris mednarodne registracije je mogoče vložiti po datumu objave mednarodne registracije, v kateri je imenovana Evropska unija, v uradnem listu Urada (M.3.1.
International registrations with or without amendments since their publication under Article 190(1) EUTMR).
- Mednarodne registracije s spremembami ali brez njih po objavi v skladu s členom 190(1) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU).
As regards WIPO representatives of the holders of contested IRs, the Office will as a general rule communicate with them, irrespective of the IR holder's location, when they comply with the criteria of Article 120 EUTMR.
Urad bo načeloma komuniciral z zastopniki imetnikov izpodbijanih mednarodnih registracij iz organizacije WIPO, ne glede na lokacijo imetnika mednarodne registracije, če ustrezajo merilom iz člena 120 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
Where the WIPO representative of the IR holder does not comply with the criteria of Article 120 EUTMR, the notification of the cancellation application will be sent directly to the IR holder, and a copy will be sent to its WIPO representative for information purposes.
Če zastopnik imetnika mednarodne registracije iz organizacije WIPO ne ustreza merilom iz člena 120 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU, bo Urad obvestilo o zahtevi za izbris poslal neposredno imetniku mednarodne registracije, en izvod obvestila pa bo v vednost poslan zastopniku iz organizacije WIPO.
The notification of the cancellation application will also invite the IR holder to appoint a professional representative in accordance with Article 120 EUTMR within 2 months of its receipt.
Urad bo v obvestilu o zahtevi za izbris imetnika mednarodne registracije tudi pozval, naj v dveh mesecih od prejema tega obvestila imenuje poklicnega zastopnika v skladu s členom 120 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
In cases of obligatory representation (Article 119(2) EUTMR), the notification will indicate the consequences of not complying with this requirement (namely, that any communications sent by the IR holder in the course of the proceedings will not be taken into account).
V primerih obveznega zastopanja (člen 119(2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU) bodo v obvestilu navedene posledice neupoštevanja te zahteve (in sicer da se ne bo upoštevalo nobeno sporočilo, ki ga bo imetnik mednarodne registracije poslal med trajanjem postopka).
4.6 Assignment
Prenos
Article 21(1) and (2)(a) EUTMR
Člen 21(1) in (2)(a) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU
Article 20 EUTMDR
Člen 20 Delegirane uredbe
The cancellation applicant may request an assignment of the EUTM as an alternative to a declaration of invalidity if the conditions of Article 21(1) and (2)(a) EUTMR are fulfilled.
Vložnik zahteve za izbris lahko namesto ugotovitve ničnosti zahteva prenos blagovne znamke EU, če so izpolnjeni pogoji iz člena 21(1) in (2)(a) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
In summary, the cancellation applicant will become the proprietor of the EUTM if the claim is successful.
Na kratko, če je njegova zahteva uspešna, bo postal imetnik blagovne znamke EU.
As the request is dealt with in the context of a procedure for a declaration of invalidity pursuant to Article 60(1)(b) EUTMR, the rules of such proceedings apply.
Ker se zahteva v skladu s členom 60(1)(b) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU obravnava v okviru postopka za ugotovitev ničnosti, se uporabljajo pravila takšnega postopka.
Assignment will apply only in the case of an application for invalidity based on Article 60(1)(b) EUTMR in conjunction with Article 8(3) EUTMR, namely where an EUTM is registered in the name of an unauthorised agent, without the proprietor's authorisation.
Prenos se bo uporabljal le v primeru zahteve za ugotovitev ničnosti na podlagi člena 60(1)(b) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU v povezavi s členom 8(3) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU, in sicer če je blagovna znamka EU registrirana v imenu nepooblaščenega posrednika brez pooblastila imetnika.
For these cases, the applicant in the invalidity proceedings may request either the invalidity of the mark (pursuant to Article 60(1)(b) EUTMR), or the assignment of the EUTM in the applicant's favour (pursuant to Article 21 EUTMR and Article 20(1) EUTMDR).
V takih primerih lahko vložnik zahteve v postopku za ugotovitev ničnosti zahteva bodisi razglasitev ničnosti blagovne znamke (v skladu s členom 60(1)(b) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU) bodisi prenos blagovne znamke EU nanj (v skladu s členom 21 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU in členom 20(1) Delegirane uredbe).
If the contested EUTM survives the action in part, either because the action was directed against part of the goods and services only or was partly unsuccessful, the mark will be split.
Če se izpodbijana blagovna znamka EU po zahtevi delno ohrani, bodisi ker je bila zahteva usmerjena le zoper del blaga in storitev bodisi ker je bila deloma neuspešna, bo blagovna znamka razdeljena.
The part for the successful applicant will be given a new trade mark registration number with the new proprietor, its representative from the invalidity proceedings and the list of goods and services for which the claim was successful.
Delu za uspešnega vložnika zahteve bo dodeljena nova registracijska številka blagovne znamke z novim lastnikom, zastopnikom iz postopka za ugotovitev ničnosti ter seznamom blaga in storitev, v zvezi s katerimi je bila zahteva uspešna.
All other particulars of the mark remain as in the original mark.
Vse druge podrobnosti blagovne znamke ostanejo enake kot pri prvotni znamki.
4.6.1 Admissibility of the request
Dopustnost zahteve
When filing an application for invalidity based on Article 60(1)(b) EUTMR in conjunction with Article 8(3) EUTMR, in the application form the cancellation applicant must indicate the relief sought, which can be:
Ob vložitvi zahteve za ugotovitev ničnosti na podlagi člena 60(1)(b) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU v povezavi s členom 8(3) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EUmora vložnik zahteve za izbris v obrazcu zahteve navesti zahtevani ukrep, ki je lahko:
a declaration of invalidity; or
ugotovitev ničnosti ali
assignment pursuant to Article 21(2)(a) EUTMR.
prenos v skladu s členom 21(2)(a) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
A request for assignment cannot be invoked cumulatively with a request for invalidating the EUTM under the same ground of Article 60(1)(b) EUTMR.
Zahteve za prenos ni mogoče izbrati skupaj z zahtevo za ugotovitev ničnosti blagovne znamke EU na podlagi istega razloga iz člena 60(1)(b) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
If the cancellation applicant does so erroneously, the Office will invite the applicant to choose one type of relief or the other.
Če vložnik zahteve za izbris to naredi pomotoma, ga bo Urad pozval, naj izbere eno ali drugo vrsto ukrepa.
If an absolute ground for invalidity applies, the Office cannot grant the assignment of the EUTM.
Če se uporablja absolutni razlog za ničnost, Urad ne more odobriti prenosa blagovne znamke EU.
If the applicant invokes Article 60(1)(b) EUTMR with relief seeking the assignment of the contested EUTM and any other ground for invalidity (i.e. bad faith pursuant to Article 59(1)(b) EUTMR, or any other relative ground pursuant to Article 60(1)(a), (c), (d), or Article 60(2) EUTMR), the Office will first examine the request for assignment.
Če se vložnik zahteve sklicuje na člen 60(1)(b) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU v zvezi z ukrepom prenosa izpodbijane blagovne znamke EU in na kateri koli drugi razlog za ničnost (npr. slabo vero v skladu s členom 59(1)(b) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU ali kateri koli drug relativni razlog v skladu s členom 60(1)(a), (c), (d) ali členom 60(2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU), bo Urad najprej preizkusil zahtevo za prenos.
The alternative relief stipulated in Article 21(2)(a) EUTMR would lose its useful effect if the Office had the discretion to invalidate the EUTM, contrary to the express intention of the applicant.
Alternativni ukrep, določen v členu 21(2)(a) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU, bi izgubil svoj koristni učinek, če bi Urad imel diskrecijsko pravico, da v nasprotju z izrecno namero vložnika zahteve razglasi ničnost blagovne znamke EU.
In addition, while the winning applicant's legal situation would be substantially different if, instead of assignment, the EUTM were invalidated, the losing proprietor's legal situation would be the same whatever the outcome.
Poleg tega bi bil pravni položaj uspešnega vložnika zahteve bistveno drugačen, če bi bila blagovna znamka EU namesto prenosa razglašena za nično, pravni položaj neuspešnega imetnika pa bi bil ne glede na izid enak.
