Cancellation proceedings are initiated with the submission of an application for revocation or for a declaration of invalidity (the ‘application for cancellation') against a registered EUTM.
Postopek izbrisa se začne s predložitvijo zahteve za razveljavitev ali ugotovitev ničnosti (v nadaljnjem besedilu: zahteva za izbris) registrirane blagovne znamke EU.
An application for cancellation against an EUTM application that has not yet been registered or a trade mark that is no longer registered is not admissible.
Zahteva za izbris prijave blagovne znamke EU, ki še ni bila registrirana, ali blagovne znamke, ki ni več registrirana, ni dopustna.
Once the application for cancellation is received, the Office checks that the corresponding cancellation fee has been paid.
Ko Urad prejme zahtevo za izbris, preveri, ali je bila plačana ustrezna pristojbina za izbris.
If the fee has not been paid, the application is deemed not to have been filed.
Če pristojbina ni bila plačana, se šteje, da zahteva ni bila vložena.
Next, the Office carries out a preliminary assessment of the admissibility requirements, which includes, in particular, those stated under Article 12 EUTMDR.
Urad nato izvede predhodno presojo zahtev glede dopustnosti, ki zajema zlasti tiste zahteve, ki so navedene v členu 12 Delegirane uredbe.
The Office also notifies the EUTM proprietor of the application.
Urad o zahtevi uradno obvesti tudi imetnika blagovne znamke EU.
Absolute deficiencies, that is, deficiencies that cannot be remedied after the filing of the application.
absolutne pomanjkljivosti so pomanjkljivosti, ki jih po vložitvi zahteve ni več mogoče odpraviti.
These deficiencies will automatically lead to the application being considered inadmissible.
Zaradi teh pomanjkljivosti se bo neposredno štelo, da je zahteva nedopustna;
Relative deficiencies, that is, deficiencies that can be remedied after the filing of the application.
relativne pomanjkljivosti so pomanjkljivosti, ki jih je mogoče odpraviti po vložitvi zahteve.
The Office invites the cancellation applicant to remedy the deficiency in a non-extendable time limit of 2 months, failing which the application will be rejected as inadmissible.
Urad vložnika zahteve za izbris pozove, naj pomanjkljivosti odpravi v dveh mesecih, tega roka pa ni mogoče podaljšati, sicer bo zahteva zavržena kot nedopustna.
In parallel, the adversarial part of the proceedings is opened and the parties are invited to submit observations (and, if applicable, proof of use).
Hkrati s tem se začne kontradiktorni del postopka in stranke so pozvane, naj predložijo pripombe (ter po potrebi dokaz o uporabi).
There are usually two rounds of observations, after which the adversarial part is closed and the file is ready for a decision.
Predložitev pripomb navadno poteka v dveh krogih, nato se kontradiktorni del postopka konča, spis pa je pripravljen za odločanje.
In many respects, cancellation proceedings follow the same or analogous procedural rules as those established for opposition proceedings (e.g. friendly settlement, withdrawals of the application for cancellation, correction of mistakes and revocation, time limits, multiple cancellations, change of parties, restitutio).
Pri postopku izbrisa se z več vidikov upoštevajo enaka ali podobna postopkovna pravila kot pri postopku ugovora (npr. poravnava, umik zahteve za izbris, poprava napak in razveljavitev, roki, večkratni izbrisi, sprememba strank, vrnitev v prejšnje stanje (restitutio in integrum)).
For all these matters, see the relevant sections of the Guidelines and in particular Part C, Opposition, Section 1, Procedural Matters.
Vse to je podrobneje opisano v ustreznih razdelkih Smernic, zlasti v delu C: Ugovor, razdelek 1: Postopkovne zadeve.
This section of the Guidelines will therefore only focus on those aspects of the cancellation proceedings that are different from opposition proceedings.
Zato se ta razdelek Smernic osredotoča samo na tiste vidike postopka izbrisa, ki se razlikujejo od postopka ugovora.
2 Applications for Cancellation
Zahteve za izbris
2.1 Persons entitled to file an application for cancellation
Osebe, ki lahko vložijo zahtevo za izbris
Articles 46(1) and 63(1) EUTMR
Člen 46(1) in člen 63(1) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU
Cancellation proceedings can never be initiated ex officio by the Office but only upon receipt of an application from a third party.
Urad ne more začeti postopka izbrisa po uradni dolžnosti, temveč samo na podlagi zahteve tretje osebe.
Applications for revocation or for invalidity based on absolute grounds (Articles 58 and 59 EUTMR) may be filed by:
Zahtevo za razveljavitev ali ugotovitev ničnosti, ki temelji na absolutnih razlogih (člena 58 in 59 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU), lahko vloži:
1. any natural or legal person, or
katera koli fizična ali pravna oseba ali
2. any group or body set up for the purpose of representing the interests of manufacturers, producers, suppliers or services, traders or consumers, which under the terms of the law governing it has the capacity in its own name to sue and be sued.
katera koli skupina ali telo, ustanovljeno za zastopanje interesov proizvajalcev, izdelovalcev, izvajalcev storitev, trgovcev ali potrošnikov, ki je po pravu, ki velja zanj, sposoben biti stranka v postopku.
As regards applications for revocation or for invalidity based on absolute grounds, the applicant does not need to demonstrate an interest in bringing proceedings (08/07/2008, T160/07, Color Edition, EU:T:2008:261, § 22-26, confirmed by 25/02/2010, C408/08 P, Color Edition, EU:C:2010:92, § 37-40).
Kar zadeva zahteve za razveljavitev ali ugotovitev ničnosti, ki temeljijo na absolutnih razlogih, vložniku zahteve ni treba dokazati interesa za sprožitev postopka (sodba z dne 08/07/2008, T160/07, Color Edition, EU:T:2008:261, § 22-26, potrjena s sodbo z dne 25/02/2010, C408/08 P, Color Edition, EU:C:2010:92, § 37-40).
This is because, while relative grounds for invalidity protect the interests of proprietors of certain earlier rights, the absolute grounds for invalidity and for revocation aim to protect the general interest (including, in the case of revocations based on lack of use, the general interest in revoking the registration of trade marks that do not satisfy the use requirement) (30/05/2013, T396/11, Ultrafilter International, EU:T:2013:284, § 17-18).
Relativni razlogi za ugotovitev ničnosti namreč varujejo interese imetnikov nekaterih prejšnjih pravic, predmet absolutnih razlogov za ugotovitev ničnosti in razveljavitev pa je varovanje splošnega interesa (pri razveljavitvah zaradi neuporabe tudi splošnega interesa za razveljavitev registracije blagovnih znamk, ki ne ustrezajo zahtevi glede uporabe) (30/05/2013, T396/11, Ultrafilter International, EU:T:2013:284, § 17-18).
In contrast, applications for invalidity based on relative grounds (Article 60 EUTMR) may only be filed by the persons mentioned in Article 46(1) EUTMR (in the case of applications based on Article 60(1) EUTMR) or by those entitled under European Union legislation or under the law of the Member State concerned to exercise the rights in question (in the case of applications based on Article 60(2) EUTMR).
Nasprotno pa lahko zahteve za ugotovitev ničnosti, ki temeljijo na relativnih razlogih (člen 60 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU) vložijo samo osebe, ki so navedene v členu 46(1) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU (pri zahtevah, ki temeljijo na členu 60(1) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU), ali osebe, ki imajo v skladu z zakonodajo Evropske unije ali pravom zadevne države članice pravico do uveljavljanja zadevnih pravic (pri zahtevah, ki temeljijo na členu 60(2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU).
Applications for revocation or invalidity based on Articles 81, 82, 91 or 92 EUTMR (in particular specific revocation and absolute grounds for collective marks and certification marks) follow the same rules, regarding entitlement, as applications for revocation or for invalidity based on absolute grounds (Article 74(3) EUTMR).
Pri zahtevah za razveljavitev ali ugotovitev ničnosti, ki temeljijo na členu 81, 82, 91 ali 92 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU (zlasti posebna razveljavitev ter absolutni razlogi za kolektivne in certifikacijske znamke), se uporabljajo enaka pravila glede upravičenosti kot pri zahtevah za razveljavitev ali ugotovitev ničnosti, ki temeljijo na absolutnih razlogih (člen 74(3) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU).
2.2 Written applications
Pisne zahteve
Article 63(2) EUTMR
Člen 63(2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU
An application for cancellation has to be filed in writing.
Zahtevo za izbris je treba vložiti pisno.
It is not obligatory to use the forms provided by the Office, as long as all the admissibility requirements are met.
Obrazci, ki jih zagotavlja Urad, niso obvezni, pomembno je samo, da so izpolnjene vse zahteve glede dopustnosti.
However, the use of the official forms is highly recommended.
Vendar je uporaba uradnih obrazcev zelo priporočljiva.
Applications for cancellation may be submitted electronically.
Zahteve za izbris se lahko vložijo elektronsko.
2.3 Payment
Plačilo
Articles 63(2) and 180(3) EUTMR
Člen 63(2) in člen 180(3) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU
Articles 15(1) and 18(2) EUTMDR
Člen 15(1) in člen 18(2) Delegirane uredbe
For general rules on payments, see the Guidelines, Part A, General Rules, Section 3, Payment of Fees, Costs and Charges.
Več informacij v zvezi s splošnimi pravili glede plačil je na voljo v Smernicah, del A: Splošna pravila, razdelek 3: Plačilo pristojbin, stroškov in taks.
An application for cancellation is not deemed to have been filed until the fee has been paid.
Zahteva za izbris se do plačila pristojbine ne šteje za vloženo.
For this reason, before examining the admissibility of the application, the Office will first check that the fee has been received.
Zato bo Urad pred preverjanjem dopustnosti zahteve preveril, ali je prejel plačilo za pristojbino.
Where the Office finds that the fee has not been paid, it will invite the applicant to pay it within a given time limit.
Če Urad ugotovi, da pristojbina ni bila plačana, bo vložnika zahteve pozval, naj jo plača v določenem roku.
If the required fee is not paid within the time limit, the Office will inform the applicant that the application for cancellation is deemed not to have been filed.
Če zahtevana pristojbina ni plačana v roku, bo Urad vložnika zahteve obvestil, da se zahteva za izbris ne šteje za vloženo.
If the fee is paid, but after the specified time limit, it will be refunded to the applicant.
Če je bila pristojbina plačana, vendar po preteku določenega roka, bo vložniku povrnjena.
In cases where the fee is received after the expiry of the time limit specified by the Office but the applicant provides proof that, within the time limit, it duly gave an order to a banking establishment to transfer the amount of the payment in a Member State, Article 180(3) EUTMR will be applied, including the payment of a surcharge where applicable (see the Guidelines, Part A, General Rules, Section 3, Payment of Fees, Costs and Charges).
Če Urad prejme pristojbino po preteku določenega roka zapadlosti, vendar vložnik zahteve dokaže, da je pred pretekom roka bančni ustanovi v državi članici ustrezno predložil nalog za nakazilo zneska plačila, se uporabi člen 180(3) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU, to velja tudi za morebitno plačilo doplačila (glej Smernice, del A: Splošna pravila, razdelek 3: Plačilo pristojbin, stroškov in taks).
The filing date of an application for cancellation is not affected by the date of payment of the fee, since Article 63(2) EUTMR does not establish any consequence as regards the filing date of the application.
Datum plačila pristojbine ne vpliva na datum vložitve zahteve za izbris, saj v členu 63(2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU niso predvidene nobene posledice v zvezi z datumom vložitve zahteve.
When the fee is paid before the expiry of the time limit specified by Article 15(1) EUTMDR, the application is deemed to have been filed and the filing date will be that on which the written statement was received by the Office.
Pri plačilu pristojbine pred pretekom roka, opredeljenega v členu 15(1) Delegirane uredbe, se šteje, da je bila zahteva vložena, pri čemer se bo kot datum vložitve uporabljal tisti, na katerega je Urad prejel pisno izjavo.
As a general principle, the cancellation fee is an application fee due for the filing of the application regardless of the outcome of the proceedings.
Pristojbina za izbris je načeloma enaka pristojbini za prijavo, ki jo je treba plačati za vložitev prijave, ne glede na izid postopka.
Therefore, it will not be refunded in cases of inadmissibility.
Zato se v primerih nedopustnosti ne povrne.
Neither will the cancellation fee be refunded in cases where the application for cancellation is withdrawn at any stage.
Pristojbina za izbris se ne povrne niti, če se zahteva za izbris umakne na kateri koli stopnji postopka.
In this context, the only provisions that envisage the refund of the cancellation fee are Article 15(1) EUTMDR, applicable only in cases where the application is deemed not to have been filed as a result of a late payment, and Article 18(2) EUTMDR, which, applying Article 9(4) EUTMDR mutatis mutandis, envisages a refund of 50 % of the cancellation fee in the event of multiple applications, provided that the proceedings were suspended before the commencement of the adversarial part of the proceedings.
Glede na navedeno sta edini določbi, ki predvidevata vračilo pristojbine za izbris, člen 15(1) Delegirane uredbe, ki se uporablja samo, kadar se zaradi poznega plačila šteje, da zahteva ni bila vložena, in člen 18(2) Delegirane uredbe, ki - ob smiselni uporabi člena 9(4) Delegirane uredbe - predvideva povračilo 50 % pristojbine za izbris v primeru več zahtev, če je bil postopek prekinjen pred začetkom kontradiktornega dela postopka.
However, in the event of the withdrawal of the application for cancellation where the declaration of withdrawal reaches the Office on the same day as the original application, the fee will be refunded.
Vendar se v primeru umika zahteve za izbris pristojbina povrne, če Urad izjavo o umiku prejme isti dan kot prvotno zahtevo.
2.4 Languages and translation of the application for cancellation
Jeziki in prevod zahteve za izbris
2.4.1 Language of the proceedings
Jezik postopka
Article 146(5) to (7) EUTMR
Člen 146(5) do (7) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU
Article 15(2) and (3) EUTMDR
Člen 15(2) in (3) Delegirane uredbe
The application for revocation or invalidity must be filed in one of the five languages of the Office.
Zahtevo za razveljavitev ali ugotovitev ničnosti je treba vložiti v enem od petih uradnih jezikov Urada.
The rules regarding the language of proceedings are explained in detail in the Guidelines, Part A, General Rules, Section 4, Language of Proceedings.
Pravila o jeziku postopka so podrobno pojasnjena v Smernicah, del A: Splošna pravila, razdelek 4: Jezik postopka.
According to these rules, in cancellation proceedings there are cases where the applicant has a choice between two possible languages of proceedings (the first and second languages of the contested mark, both being languages of the Office), and cases where there is only one possible language of proceedings (when the first language is not one of the five languages of the Office, the language of the cancellation proceedings can only be the second language of the contested mark).
V skladu s temi pravili so lahko v postopku izbrisa primeri, v katerih lahko vložnik zahteve izbira med dvema možnima jezikoma postopka (prvim in drugim jezikom izpodbijane znamke, ki sta oba jezika Urada), in primeri, v katerih je le en možen jezik postopka (če prvi jezik ni eden od petih jezikov Urada, je lahko jezik postopka izbrisa samo drugi jezik izpodbijane znamke).
In cases where there is a choice, the language of proceedings will be that expressly indicated in the application for cancellation or, in the absence of an express indication, the language in which the application for cancellation was filed, in both cases provided that it is one of the possible languages of proceedings.
V primerih, v katerih je mogoča izbira, bo jezik postopka jezik, ki je izrecno naveden v zahtevi za izbris, ali, če izrecne navedbe ni, jezik, v katerem je bila zahteva za izbris vložena, in sicer v obeh primerih pod pogojem, da je zadevni jezik eden od možnih jezikov postopka.
Where the wrong language of the proceedings has been chosen by the applicant, the EUTMR distinguishes between two different scenarios: where the incorrect language is a language of the Office, and where the incorrect language is one of the official languages of the European Union (but not of the Office).
Če vložnik zahteve izbere napačen jezik postopka, se v Uredbi o blagovni znamki EU razlikuje med dvema primeroma: kadar je nepravilni jezik jezik Urada in kadar je nepravilni jezik eden od uradnih jezikov Evropske unije (ne pa eden od jezikov Urada).
Depending on which of the above applies, there are different consequences for the applicant and time limits to respect when choosing the correct language of the proceedings and submitting the translation of the application for cancellation.
Odvisno od tega, za katerega od zgornjih primerov gre, obstajajo različne posledice za vložnika zahteve in roki, ki jih mora vložnik zahteve upoštevati pri izbiri ustreznega jezika postopka in predložitvi prevoda zahteve za izbris.
If the application has been filed in a language of the Office that is not one of the possible languages of the proceedings, of its own motion the applicant has to submit a translation of the application into the first language, provided that it is a language of the Office, or into the second language.
Če je zahteva vložena v jeziku Urada, ki ni eden od možnih jezikov postopka, mora vložnik zahteve na svojo pobudo predložiti prevod zahteve v prvi jezik, če je ta jezik Urada, ali v drugi jezik.
The translation must be produced within 1 month of the filing date of the application for cancellation, failing which the application will be rejected as inadmissible (Article 146(7) EUTMR; Article 15(2) and (3) EUTMDR).
Prevod je treba predložiti v enem mesecu od datuma vložitve zahteve za izbris, sicer bo zahteva zavržena kot nedopustna (člen 146(7) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU, člen 15(2) in (3) Delegirane uredbe).
Article 15(4) EUTMDR, regarding the invitation to the applicant to remedy deficiencies, does not refer to Article 146(7) EUTMR; therefore, in these cases the Office will not send a deficiency letter, it will wait for 1 month from the filing date for the translation of the cancellation application to be submitted.
Člen 15(4) Delegirane uredbe v zvezi s pozivom vložniku zahteve, naj odpravi pomanjkljivosti, se ne nanaša na člen 146(7) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU, zato v teh primerih Urad ne bo poslal poziva za dopolnitev zahteve in bo po datumu vložitve počakal en mesec, da se predloži prevod zahteve za izbris.
If the language chosen by the applicant is not a language of the Office, the application will be rejected as inadmissible.
Če jezik, ki ga izbere vložnik zahteve, ni jezik Urada, bo zahteva zavržena kot nedopustna.
Article 146(5) EUTMR applies, as it clearly specifies that the application for cancellation must be filed in a language of the Office.
Uporablja se člen 146(5) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU, saj je v njem jasno določeno, da je treba zahtevo za izbris vložiti v jeziku Urada.
As it has not been filed in a language of the Office, the 1month period to remedy the deficiency of Article 146(7) EUTMR does not apply.
Če zahteva za izbris ni vložena v jeziku Urada, se enomesečni rok za odpravo pomanjkljivosti iz člena 146(7) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU ne uporablja.
In the event that the language chosen by the applicant is not one of the possible languages of the proceedings, any correspondence issued by the Office in the cancellation proceedings will be in the first language of the contested mark, providing that it is a language of the Office, or in the second language if the first one is not one of the five languages of the Office.
Če jezik, ki ga izbere vložnik zahteve, ni eden od možnih jezikov postopka, bodo vsi dopisi, ki jih izda Urad v postopku izbrisa, v prvem jeziku izpodbijane blagovne znamke, če je ta jezik Urada, ali v drugem jeziku, če prvi jezik ni eden od petih jezikov Urada.
Concerning the use of official forms, Article 146(6) EUTMR states that when the form provided by the Office is used, it may be used in any official language of the European Union, provided that it is completed in one of the languages of the Office as far as textual elements are concerned.
Kar zadeva uporabo uradnih obrazcev, je v členu 146(6) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU določeno, da se v primeru uporabe obrazca Urada lahko obrazec uporabi v katerem koli uradnem jeziku Evropske unije, če je, kar zadeva besedilne elemente, izpolnjen v enem od jezikov Urada.
Where the applicant uses the official form in a language that cannot be the language of the proceedings, all textual elements are in the wrong language and a language has been chosen that cannot be the language of the proceedings, the above principles apply: where the incorrect language chosen is a language of the Office, the applicant has 1 month to submit a translation on its own motion; where the incorrect language chosen is not a language of the Office, the deficiency cannot be remedied and the application will be deemed inadmissible.
Če vložnik zahteve uporablja uradni obrazec v jeziku, ki ne more biti jezik postopka, so vsi besedilni elementi v napačnem jeziku in je bil izbran jezik, ki ne more biti jezik postopka, se uporabljajo zgornja načela: če je izbrani napačni jezik jezik Urada, mora vložnik zahteve v enem mesecu na svojo pobudo predložiti prevod, če izbrani napačni jezik ni jezik Urada, pomanjkljivosti ni mogoče odpraviti in zahteva se bo štela za nedopustno.
2.4.2 Translation of the evidence required for admissibility
Prevod dokazov, ki se zahtevajo za dopustnost
Articles 15(4) and 16(2) EUTMDR
Člen 15(4) in člen 16(2) Delegirane uredbe
Where evidence in support of the application is required to evaluate the admissibility of the case (e.g. the particulars of the earlier right on which the application is based), and this evidence is not in the language of the proceedings, or translated into that language, the Office will invite the applicant to remedy the deficiency pursuant to Article 15(4) EUTMDR (02/03/2007, R 300/20064, ACTILON / ACTELION (fig.)).
Če se zahtevajo dokazi v podporo zahtevi za presojo dopustnosti zadeve (npr. podrobnosti o prejšnji pravici, na kateri temelji zahteva) in dokazi niso v jeziku postopka ali niso prevedeni v navedeni jezik, bo Urad v skladu s členom 15(4) Delegirane uredbe vložnika zahteve pozval, naj odpravi pomanjkljivost (02/03/2007, R 300/20064, ACTILON / ACTELION (fig.)).
If the deficiency is not remedied, the application for cancellation will be rejected as totally or partially inadmissible (Articles 15(4) and 16(2) EUTMDR).
Če pomanjkljivost ni odpravljena, bo zahteva za izbris zavržena v celoti ali delno nedopustna (člen 15(4) in člen 16(2) Delegirane uredbe).
2.5 Admissibility check
Preverjanje dopustnosti
Article 58 and Articles 60(4), 63(3) and 66(2) EUTMR
Člen 58, člen 60(4), člen 63(3) in člen 66(2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU
Articles 12, 15 and 16 EUTMDR
Členi 12, 15 in 16 Delegirane uredbe
Once the Office has established that the corresponding fee has been duly paid, it checks the admissibility of the application.
Ko Urad ugotovi, da je bila ustrezna pristojbina plačana v celoti, preveri dopustnost zahteve.
In contrast to opposition proceedings, there is no cooling-off period and the applicant has until the closure of the adversarial part of the proceedings to submit evidence for substantiation.
V nasprotju s postopkom ugovora ni obdobja za pobotanje, vložnik zahteve pa mora dokaze za utemeljitev predložiti do konca kontradiktornega dela postopka.
