It is therefore reasonable to suppose that the moment a particular event, tournament or games is announced as having been allocated to a particular city or country, it is likely to become known instantly to practically all relevant consumers with an interest in the sector concerned or to professionals in the sector.
Zato je razumno domnevati, da bo napoved dodelitve nekega dogodka, turnirja ali tekme nekemu mestu ali državi verjetno takoj postala znana vsem upoštevnim potrošnikom, ki jih zanima zadevni sektor, ali strokovnjakom v sektorju.
This may thereby give rise to the possibility of very rapid acquired distinctiveness of a mark concerning a forthcoming event, in particular where the sign reproduces the structure of previously used trade marks with the result that the public immediately perceives the new event as a sequel to a series of well-established events.
To lahko povzroči, da znamka, ki se nanaša na prihodnji dogodek, zelo hitro pridobi razlikovalni učinek, predvsem če znak vsebuje strukturo predhodno uporabljenih blagovnih znamk, rezultat tega pa je, da javnost novi dogodek takoj zazna kot nadaljevanje serije dobro uveljavljenih dogodkov.
The assessment of such rapid acquired distinctiveness will follow the general criteria regarding, for instance, extent of use, territory, relevant date or targeted public, as well as regarding the onus on the applicant to provide evidence thereof.
Presoja tako hitro pridobljenega razlikovalnega učinka je v skladu s splošnimi merili, ki na primer zadevajo obseg uporabe, ozemlje, upoštevni datum ali ciljno javnost ter dolžnost prijavitelja, da zagotovi ustrezne dokaze.
The only particularity refers to length of use and the possibility that, under certain circumstances, the acquisition of acquired distinctiveness may occur very rapidly, or even instantaneously.
Edina posebnost se nanaša na trajanje uporabe in možnost, da je lahko v določenih okoliščinah pridobitev razlikovalnega učinka zelo hitra ali celo takojšnja.
As under any other claim for acquired distinctiveness, it is for the applicant to demonstrate that the public is able to perceive the trade mark in question as a distinctive sign.
Prijavitelj mora kot pri vsaki zahtevi za pridobljeni razlikovalni učinek dokazati, da lahko javnost zazna zadevno blagovno znamko kot razlikovalen znak.
8.7 Post-filing-date evidence
Dokazi, predloženi po datumu vložitve
The evidence must show that, prior to the filing date, the trade mark had acquired distinctive character through use.
Dokazi morajo izkazovati, da je blagovna znamka pred datumom vložitve prijave imela razlikovalni učinek, pridobljen z uporabo.
However, this does not preclude the possibility that account may be taken of evidence that, although subsequent to the filing date, enables conclusions to be drawn regarding the situation as it was on the filing date (19/06/2014, C217/13, Oberbank e.a., EU:C:2014:2012, § 60).
To pa ne izključuje možnosti, da se upoštevajo tudi dejavniki, ki - čeprav se nanašajo na obdobje po vložitvi prijave za registracijo - omogočajo sklepanje o stanju, kakršno je bilo na datum vložitve prijave (19/06/2014, C217/13, Oberbank e.a., EU:C:2014:2012, § 60).
Therefore, evidence cannot be rejected merely because it post-dates the filing date.
Dokazi se torej ne morejo zavrniti samo zato, ker so predloženi po datumu vložitve prijave.
Accordingly, such evidence must be assessed and given due weight.
O teh dokazih je treba ustrezno presoditi in jih ustrezno upoštevati.
As an example, a trade mark that enjoys particularly relevant recognition on the market or a substantially relevant market share a few months after the filing date may have had acquired distinctiveness also on the filing date.
Kot primer, blagovna znamka, ki uživa posebno pomembno prepoznavnost na trgu ali ima bistveno pomemben tržni delež nekaj mesecev po datumu vložitve, je lahko razlikovalni učinek pridobila na datum vložitve prijave.
9 Consequences of Acquired Distinctiveness
Posledice pridobljenega razlikovalnega učinka
A trade mark registered in accordance with Article 7(3) EUTMR enjoys the same protection as any other trade mark that was found inherently registrable upon examination.
Blagovna znamka, registrirana v skladu s členom 7(3) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU, uživa enako varstvo kot katera koli druga blagovna znamka, za katero je bilo po preizkušanju ugotovljeno, da jo je mogoče registrirati.
If the EUTM application is accepted based on Article 7(3) EUTMR, this information is published in the EUTM Bulletin, using INID code 521.
Če se prijava blagovne znamke EU sprejme na podlagi člena 7(3) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU, se ta informacija objavi v Biltenu in uporabi koda INID 521.

1 Character of Collective Marks
Značilnosti kolektivnih znamk
Definition
Opredelitev
A European Union collective mark (EU collective mark) is a specific kind of EUTM that, pursuant to Article 74(1) EUTMR, ‘is described as such when the mark is applied for and is capable of distinguishing the goods or services of the members of the association which is the proprietor of the mark from those of other undertakings'.
Kolektivna znamka Evropske unije (v nadaljnjem besedilu: kolektivna znamka EU) je posebna vrsta blagovne znamke EU, ki se v skladu s členom 74(1) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU „uporablja za in je sposobna razlikovati blago ali storitve članov združenja, ki je nosilec blagovne znamke, od blaga ali storitev drugih podjetij“.
It is one of the three kinds of marks set out in the Regulation, along with individual marks and certification marks.
Skupaj s posameznimi znamkami in certifikacijskimi znamkami je ena od treh vrst znamk iz Uredbe.
An EU collective mark distinguishes the goods and services of the members of the association that owns the mark from those of other companies that do not belong to that association.
Kolektivna znamka EU razlikuje blago in storitve članov združenja, ki je imetnik znamke, od blaga in storitev drugih podjetij, ki niso člani zadevnega združenja.
Therefore, the EU collective mark qualifies the commercial origin of certain goods and services by informing the consumer that the producer of the goods or the service provider belongs to a certain association and has the right to use the mark.
Kolektivna znamka EU zato označuje trgovski izvor nekaterega blaga in storitev z obveščanjem potrošnikov, da je proizvajalec blaga ali ponudnik storitve član nekega združenja in ima pravico uporabljati znamko.
An EU collective mark is typically used by companies, together with their own individual marks, to indicate that they are members of a certain association.
Kolektivno znamko EU običajno skupaj s svojimi individualnimi znamkami uporabljajo podjetja, da tako pokažejo, da so člani nekega združenja.
For example, Spain's Association of Shoe Manufacturers may want to apply for the collective mark ‘Asociación Española de Fabricantes de Calzado', which, while belonging to the association, is also going to be used by all its members.
Na primer, špansko združenje proizvajalcev čevljev morda želi prijaviti kolektivno znamko Asociación Española de Fabricantes de Calzado, ki jo bodo uporabljali tudi vsi člani združenja, čeprav pripada združenju.
A member of the association may want to use the collective mark in addition to its own individual mark, which could be, for example, ‘Calzados Luis'.
Član združenja bi morda rad uporabljal kolektivno znamko poleg svoje posamezne znamke, ki je lahko na primer Calzados Luis.
1.3 Relationship with individual and certification marks
Razmerje do individualnih in certifikacijskih znamk
It is up to the applicant to decide whether the trade mark fulfils the requirements of a collective mark, as opposed to those of an individual mark or certification mark within the meaning of Article 83 EUMTR.
Prijavitelj odloči, ali blagovna znamka izpolnjuje zahteve za kolektivno znamko, in ne za posamezno ali certifikacijsko znamko v smislu člena 83 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
This means that, in principle, the same sign applied for as an EU collective mark might also be applied for as an individual EUTM or EU certification mark, provided that the respective conditions of the EUTMR are met for each application.
To pomeni, da se lahko načeloma za znak, za katerega je bila vložena prijava za kolektivno znamko EU, vloži tudi prijava za posamezno blagovno znamko EU ali certifikacijsko znamko EU, če so za posamezno prijavo izpolnjeni pogoji iz Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
The three kinds of marks do not differ necessarily with respect to the signs per se but as regards other characteristics specific to each one of them, including, in particular, the requirements of ownership and the conditions of use of the mark.
Te tri vrste znamk se ne razlikujejo nujno glede znakov, ampak glede drugih značilnosti, ki so specifične za vsako od njih, predvsem tudi glede zahtev za lastništvo in pogojev uporabe znamke.
However, an applicant should be aware of the fact that, in the event of having to subsequently demonstrate genuine use of the marks, it will probably be rather difficult to show use of the same sign for different kinds of marks.
Vendar mora prijavitelj upoštevati, da bo verjetno precej težko dokazati uporabo istega znaka za različne znamke, če bo moral naknadno dokazati dejansko uporabo znamk.
For further information regarding genuine use of a mark in accordance with its function, please see the Guidelines, Part C, Opposition, Section 6, Proof of Use, paragraph 2.3.1.
Več informacij o dejanski uporabi znamke v skladu z njeno funkcijo je na voljo v Smernicah, del C: Ugovor, razdelek 6: Dokaz o uporabi, odstavek 2.3.1.
For example, an association can file an application for the word mark ‘Tamaki' either as an individual mark, a certification mark or a collective mark, depending on the mark's intended use (by the association itself or its members, or as a sign of guarantee of a characteristic or not).
Združenje lahko na primer vloži prijavo za besedno znamko Tamaki kot posamezno znamko, certifikacijsko znamko ali kolektivno znamko, glede na predvideno uporabo znamke (ki jo uporablja združenje ali njegovi člani ali kot znak jamstva značilnosti).
If it is applied for as an EU collective mark, certain additional formalities must be met, such as the submission of regulations governing use (see the Guidelines, Part B, Examination, Section 2, Formalities, paragraph 8.2).
Če se zanjo vloži prijava kot za kolektivno znamko EU, morajo biti izpolnjene nekatere dodatne formalnosti, kot je predložitev pravilnika o uporabi (glej Smernice, del B: Preizkušanje, razdelek 2: Formalnosti, odstavek 8.2).
After filing the application, changes to the kind of mark (between collective, certification and individual marks) are accepted only when it is obvious from the application that the wrong kind of mark has been selected (see the Guidelines, Part B, Examination, Section 2, Formalities, paragraph 8.4).
Po vložitvi prijave se spremembe vrste znamke (med kolektivnimi, certifikacijskimi ali posameznimi znamkami) sprejmejo samo, če je iz prijave razvidno, da je bila izbrana napačna vrsta znamke (glej Smernice, del B: Preizkušanje, razdelek 2: Formalnosti, odstavek 8.4).
1.4 Applicable provisions and examination
Veljavne določbe in preizkušanje
The EUTMR provisions apply to EU collective marks, unless Articles 75 to 82 EUTMR provide otherwise.
Določbe Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU se uporabljajo za kolektivne znamke EU, če členi 75 do 82 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU ne določajo drugače.
On the one hand, EU collective marks are therefore subject to the general EUTM regime and on the other hand, to some exceptions and particularities.
Na eni strani tako za kolektivne znamke EU velja splošna ureditev za blagovne znamke EU, na drugi strani pa nekatere izjeme in posebnosti.
It follows, firstly, that an application for an EU collective mark is, in principle, subject to the same examination procedure and conditions as an application for an individual mark.
Prvič, iz tega izhaja, da se za prijavo kolektivne znamke EU uporabljajo enak postopek preizkušanja in pogoji kot za prijavo posamezne znamke.
In general terms, the classification of goods and services, and the examination of formalities and of absolute grounds for refusal, follow the same procedure as that applied to individual trade marks.
Na splošno se razvrstitev blaga in storitev ter preizkušanje formalnosti in absolutnih razlogov za zavrnitev opravita v skladu z enakim postopkom, kot se uporablja za individualne blagovne znamke.
For example, examiners will check the list of goods and services or the language requirements in the same way as they do with individual trade marks.
Tako bodo na primer preizkuševalci seznam blaga in storitev ali jezikovne zahteve preverili na enak način, kot to storijo za individualne znamke.
Similarly, if the EU collective mark falls under one of the grounds for refusal of Article 7 EUTMR, this will also be examined.
Podobno se preizkusi tudi, ali kolektivna znamka EU spada na področje enega od razlogov za zavrnitev iz člena 7 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
Pursuant to the new provision of Article 16 EUTMIR, the regulations submitted by the applicant governing the use of its EU collective mark must cover its use for all the goods and services included in the list of the EU collective mark application.
V skladu z novo določbo člena 16 izvedbene Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU mora pravilnik o uporabi kolektivne znamke EU, ki ga predloži prijavitelj, zajemati njeno uporabo za blago in storitve s seznama prijave kolektivne blagovne znamke.
For EU collective marks conflicting with PGIs/PDOs, traditional terms for wine or traditional specialities guaranteed, the regulations governing the use of an EU collective mark should accurately reflect any limitation introduced to overcome such conflicts.
Pri kolektivnih znamkah EU, ki sovpadajo z označbami ZGO/ZOP, tradicionalnimi izrazi za vina ali zajamčenimi tradicionalnimi posebnostmi mora pravilnik o uporabi kolektivne znamke EU natančno navesti vse omejitve, ki se uvedejo za odpravo sovpadanja.
For example, the regulations governing use of the EU collective mark ‘XYZ Designation of Origin' for wines should accurately reflect the fact that they refer to the use of the trade mark for wines complying with the PDO ‘XYZ'.
Na primer, pravilnik o uporabi kolektivne znamke EU „označba porekla XYZ“ za vina mora natančno navesti, da se nanaša na uporabo blagovne znamke za vina v skladu z ZOP „XYZ“.
Secondly, the examination of an EU collective mark will also consider the exceptions and particularities of this kind of mark.
Drugič, pri preizkušanju kolektivne znamke EU se bodo upoštevale izjeme in posebnosti tovrstne znamke.
These exceptions and particularities refer both to the formal and substantive provisions.
Te izjeme in posebnosti se nanašajo na formalne in vsebinske določbe.
As regards formalities, the requirement for regulations governing use of the mark is, for example, a specific characteristic of an EU collective mark.
V zvezi s formalnostmi je na primer posebna značilnost kolektivne znamke EU zahteva glede pravilnika o uporabi znamke.
(For further details of the examination of formalities of EU collective marks, including the regulations governing use of the mark, see the Guidelines, Part B, Examination, Section 2, Formalities, paragraph 8.2).
(Za dodatne podrobnosti o preizkušanju formalnosti kolektivnih znamk EU, vključno s pravilnikom o uporabi znamke, glej Smernice, del B: Preizkušanje, razdelek 2: Formalnosti, odstavek 8.2.)
The substantive exceptions and particularities that apply to an EU collective mark are described below.
Vsebinske izjeme in posebnosti, ki se uporabljajo za kolektivne znamke EU, so opisane v nadaljevanju.
2 Ownership
Lastništvo
Ownership of EU collective marks is limited to (i) associations of manufacturers, producers, suppliers of services, or traders that, under the terms of the law governing them, have the capacity in their own name to have rights and obligations of all kinds, to make contracts or accomplish other legal acts and to sue and be sued; and (ii) legal persons governed by public law (Article 74 EUTMR).
Lastništvo kolektivnih znamk EU je omejeno na (i) združenja izdelovalcev, proizvajalcev, izvajalcev storitev ali trgovcev, ki imajo po pravu, ki velja zanje, sposobnost, da imajo pravice in obveznosti vseh vrst, pravice do sklepanja pogodb ali izvrševanja drugih pravnih dejanj ter sposobnost, da tožijo in so tožene, in (ii) javnopravne osebe (člen 74 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU).
The first type of owner typically comprises private associations with a common purpose or interest.
Prva vrsta imetnikov običajno vključuje zasebna združenja s skupnim namenom ali interesom.
As set out in the Guidelines, Part B, Examination, Section 2, Formalities, paragraph 8.2.1, ‘[c]ollective does not mean that the mark belongs to several persons [co-applicants/co-owners] nor that it designates/covers more than one country'.
Kot je določeno v Smernicah, del B: Preizkušanje, razdelek 2: Formalnosti, odstavek 8.2.1, „[i]zraz ,kolektivna‘ ne pomeni, da znamka pripada več osebam [soprijaviteljem/soimetnikom] ali da označuje/zajema več kot eno državo“.
Associations may be organised under different legal forms, including that of private corporations (such as Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung).
Združenja so lahko organizirana kot drugačne pravne oblike, tudi zasebne družbe (kot so Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung).
However, as the latter are generally not organised as associations, the Office considers that a private corporation cannot be the owner of an EU collective mark unless it shows that its internal structure is of an associative nature.
Ker pa te običajno niso organizirane kot združenja, Urad meni, da zasebna družba ne more biti imetnik kolektivne znamke EU, če ne dokaže, da je njegova notranja zgradba združevalna.
The same applies to the second type of owners.
Enako velja za drugo vrsto imetnikov.
‘Legal persons governed by public law' have to be either associations in a formal sense or need to have an internal structure of an associative nature (the broader approach, in decision of 10/05/2012, R 1007/20112, REPRESENTATION OF A FLAG WITH STARS (fig.), § 17, relates to the state of the law prior to the creation of the EU certification mark by Regulation 2015/2424).
Javnopravne osebe morajo biti združenja v formalnem smislu ali pa imeti notranjo zgradbo združevalne narave (širši pristop v odločbi z dne 10/05/2012, R 1007/20112, REPRESENTATION OF A FLAG WITH STARS (fig.), § 17, se nanaša na stanje prava pred uvedbo certifikacijske znamke EU z Uredbo (EU) 2015/2424).
This concept includes, for example, associations or corporations governed by public law, such as the consejos reguladores or colegios profesionales under Spanish law.
Ta koncept na primer vključuje združenja ali družbe javnega prava, kot so consejos reguladores ali colegios profesionales na podlagi španskega prava.
3 Specific Absolute Grounds of Refusal
Posebni absolutni razlogi za zavrnitev
3.1 Misleading as to the character or meaning of the mark
Zavajanje glede značaja ali pomena znamke
Under Article 76(2) EUTMR, the examiner must refuse the application if the public is liable to be misled as regards the character or the meaning of the mark, in particular if it is likely to be perceived as something other than a collective mark.
V skladu s členom 76(2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU mora preizkuševalec prijavo zavrniti, če obstaja verjetnost zmede v javnosti glede značaja ali pomena blagovne znamke, še zlasti, če je verjetno, da jo bo javnost razumela kot nekaj drugega kot kolektivno blagovno znamko.
This refers to the situation where the mark will not be perceived as a collective mark by the public, but rather as an individual or certification mark.
To se nanaša na situacije, v katerih javnost znamke ne bo razumela kot kolektivno znamko, ampak kot posamezno ali certifikacijsko znamko.
For example, a collective mark that is available for use only by members of an association that owns the mark could be liable to mislead if it gives the impression that it is available for use by anyone that is able to meet certain objective standards.
Na primer, kolektivna znamka, ki je na voljo za uporabo le članom združenja, ki je imetnik znamke, bi lahko bila zavajajoča, če vzbuja vtis, da jo lahko uporabljajo vsi, ki izpolnjujejo določene objektivne standarde.
It could also mislead if it conveys a strong certification message (for example, (invented example), which is a clear contradiction of the function of the collective mark).
Zavajajoča bi lahko bila tudi, če ima močno certifikacijsko sporočilo (na primer, (izmišljeni primer), ki je v jasnem nasprotju s funkcijo kolektivne znamke).
A collective mark would not, as such, be considered misleading as to its character by the sole fact that the regulations governing use may also include specific requirements of use with respect to the quality of the goods and services protected by the mark.
Značaj kolektivne znamke ni zavajajoč samo zaradi dejstva, da lahko pravilnik o uporabi vključuje tudi posebne zahteve za uporabo v zvezi s kakovostjo blaga in storitev, zaščitenih z znamko.
However, where examination of the regulations governing use reveals that the mark is actually to be used as a certification mark and not as an indicator that the goods and services come from the members of the association, it will be considered to mislead the public.
Če pa preizkušanje pravilnika o uporabi razkrije, da se namerava znamka dejansko uporabljati kot certifikacijska znamka in ne kot kazalnik, da blago in storitve izvirajo od članov združenja, se šteje, da zavaja javnost.
3.2 Regulations governing use
Pravilnik o uporabi
3.2.1 Filing
Predložitev
The regulations governing use may be filed within 2 months of the application of the collective mark (Article 75(1) EUTMR) and their content must comply with the requirements of Article 16 EUTMIR.
Pravilnik o uporabi se lahko predloži v dveh mesecih po datumu vložitve prijave kolektivne znamke (člen 75(1) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU), njegova vsebina pa mora biti skladna z zahtevami iz člena 16 Izvedbene uredbe.
