2.3.3 Use in relation to goods or services
Uporaba v zvezi z blagom ali storitvami
2.3.3.1 Use in relation to goods
Uporaba v zvezi z blagom
Trade marks have traditionally been used on goods (printed on the goods, on labels, etc.) or their packaging.
Blagovne znamke se tradicionalno uporabljajo na blagu (natisnjene so na blago, etikete itd.) ali njegovi embalaži.
However, showing use on goods or their packaging is not the only way of proving use in relation to goods.
Vendar dokazovanje uporabe na blagu ali njegovi embalaži ni edini način za dokazovanje uporabe v zvezi z blagom.
It is sufficient, if there is a proper connection between the mark and the goods, for the mark to be used ‘in relation to' the goods or services, such as on brochures, flyers, stickers, signs inside places of sale, etc.
Če med znamko in blagom obstaja ustrezna povezava, zadostuje, da se blagovna znamka uporablja v zvezi z blagom ali storitvami, na primer na brošurah, letakih, nalepkah, znakih v notranjosti prodajnih mest itd.
For example, when the opponent sells its goods only through catalogues (mail-order sales) or the internet, the mark may not always appear on the packaging or even on the goods themselves.
Če na primer vložnik ugovora prodaja blago le prek katalogov (prodaja po pošti) ali spleta, znamka na embalaži ali celo na blagu morda ni vedno prikazana.
In such cases, use on the (internet) pages where the goods are presented - provided it is otherwise genuine in terms of time, place, extent and nature (see paragraph 2.3.4.4 below) - will generally be considered sufficient.
V takšnih primerih se bo na splošno štelo, da zadostuje uporaba na (spletnih) straneh, kjer je predstavljeno blago, če je sicer resna in dejanska v smislu časa, kraja, obsega in narave (glej odstavek 2.3.4.4 v nadaljevanju).
The owner of the mark will not have to provide proof that the mark actually appeared on the goods themselves.
Imetniku znamke ne bo treba predložiti dokaza, da je bilo blago dejansko opremljeno z znamko.
However, the situation is different when a trade mark is used, for example, in a catalogue or advertisements, or on bags or invoices, to designate the retailer of the goods and not the goods themselves.
Vendar je položaj drugačen, če se blagovna znamka uporablja na primer v katalogu ali oglasnih sporočilih oziroma na vrečkah ali računih, da se označi trgovca z blagom na drobno, ne pa blago.
2.3.3.2 Use in relation to services
Uporaba v zvezi s storitvami
Marks cannot be directly used ‘on' services.
Znamk ni mogoče uporabljati neposredno s storitvami.
Therefore, use of marks registered for services will generally be on business paper, in advertising, or in some other way directly or indirectly related to the services.
Znamke, registrirane za storitve, se bodo zato na splošno uporabljale na poslovnih dokumentih, v oglaševanju ali na drug način, ki je neposredno ali posredno povezan s storitvami.
Where the use on such items demonstrates genuine use, such use will be sufficient.
Če se na takšnih elementih dokaže resna in dejanska uporaba, bo takšna uporaba zadostovala.
2.3.3.3 Use in advertising
Uporaba v oglaševanju
Trade marks fulfil their function of indicating the commercial origin of goods or services and symbols of the goodwill of their owner not only when they are actually used on or for goods or services, but also when they are used in advertising.
Blagovne znamke svoje funkcije označevanja trgovskega izvora blaga ali storitev in simbolov dobrega imena imetnika ne izpolnjujejo le, kadar se dejansko uporabljajo na blagu ali storitvah ali v zvezi z njimi, temveč tudi takrat, kadar se uporabljajo v oglaševanju.
In fact, the advertising or market communication function of trade marks is one of their most important functions.
Dejansko je oglaševalska ali tržnokomunikacijska funkcija blagovnih znamk ena od njihovih najpomembnejših funkcij.
Therefore, use in advertising will generally be considered as amounting to genuine use:
Zato se bo na splošno upoštevalo, da uporaba v oglaševanju pomeni resno in dejansko uporabo:
if the volume of advertising is sufficient to constitute genuine public use of the mark; and
če obseg oglaševanja zadostuje za resno in dejansko javno uporabo znamke in
if a relation can be established between the mark and the goods or services for which the mark is registered.
če je mogoče opredeliti povezavo med znamko in blagom ali storitvami, za katere je znamka registrirana.
The Court confirmed this approach in the Minimax case, where it held that use of the mark must relate to goods or services already marketed or about to be marketed and for which preparations by the undertaking to secure customers are under way, particularly in the form of advertising campaigns (11/03/2003, C40/01, Minimax, EU:C:2003:145, § 37).
Sodišče je ta pristop potrdilo v zadevi Minimax, v kateri je odločilo, da se mora uporaba znamke nanašati na blago ali storitve, ki se že tržijo ali se bodo kmalu začeli tržiti in v zvezi s katerimi podjetje že izvaja dejavnosti za pritegnitev strank, zlasti z oglaševalskimi kampanjami (11/03/2003, C40/01, Minimax, EU:C:2003:145, § 37).
However, the outcome in a particular case will depend very much on the individual circumstances, as demonstrated by the following examples:
Vendar bo izid v zadevnem primeru zelo odvisen od posameznih okoliščin, kot ponazarjajo naslednji primeri:
Where advertising is carried out in parallel with the marketing of goods and services and there is proof of both activities, advertising will support the genuineness of the use.
Če oglaševanje poteka vzporedno s trženjem blaga in storitev ter obstaja dokaz o obeh dejavnostih, bo oglaševanje podprlo resnost in dejanskost uporabe.
Advertising in advance of the actual marketing of goods and services - if it is with a view to establishing a market for the goods or services - will generally be considered to constitute genuine use.
Oglaševanje pred dejanskim trženjem blaga in storitev - če je njegov namen vzpostavitev trga za blago ali storitve - se bo na splošno štelo za resno in dejansko uporabo.
Whether mere advertising, without any current or future plans to actually market goods or services, constitutes genuine use appears doubtful.
Zdi se dvomljivo, da bi bilo mogoče za resno in dejansko uporabo šteti le oglaševanje brez vsakršnih obstoječih ali prihodnjih načrtov za dejansko trženje blaga ali storitev.
As in most other situations, the outcome will depend on the circumstances of each case.
Izid bo tako kot v večini drugih primerov odvisen od okoliščin posameznega primera.
For example, where the goods or services are available abroad, such as holiday accommodation or particular products, advertising alone may be sufficient to amount to genuine use.
Na primer, če so blago ali storitve na voljo v tujini, kot so hotelska nastanitev ali posebni proizvodi, lahko že oglaševanje zadostuje za ugotovitev resne in dejanske uporabe.
2.3.3.4 Use on the internet
Uporaba na spletu
The standard applied when assessing evidence in the form of printouts from the internet is no stricter than when evaluating other forms of evidence.
Standard, ki se uporablja pri presoji dokazov v obliki izpisov s spleta, ni nič strožji od standarda, ki se uporablja pri presoji drugih oblik dokazov.
Consequently, the presence of the trade mark on websites can show inter alia the nature of its use or the fact that products or services bearing the mark have been offered to the public.
Zato lahko prisotnost blagovne znamke na spletnih straneh med drugim kaže naravo njene uporabe ali dejstvo, da so se proizvodi ali storitve, opremljeni z znamko, ponujali javnosti.
However, the mere presence of a trade mark on a website is, of itself, not sufficient to prove genuine use unless the website also shows the place, time and extent of use or unless this information is otherwise provided.
Vendar prisotnost blagovne znamke na spletni strani kot taka ne zadostuje za dokaz o resni in dejanski uporabi, razen če spletna stran prikazuje tudi kraj, čas in obseg uporabe ali če so te informacije predložene kako drugače.
In particular, the value in terms of evidence of internet extracts can be strengthened by submitting evidence that the specific website has been visited and, in particular, that orders for the relevant goods and services have been made through the website by a certain number of customers in the relevant period.
Dokazno vrednost izvlečkov s spleta je mogoče okrepiti zlasti s predložitvijo dokazov, da je bila zadevna spletna stran obiskana in zlasti da je v upoštevnem obdobju določeno število strank prek te spletne strani oddalo naročila za upoštevno blago in storitve.
For instance, useful evidence in this regard could be records that are generally kept when operating a business web page, for example records relating to the number of hits attained at various points in time or, in some cases, the countries from which the web page has been accessed.
Na primer, koristen dokaz v zvezi s tem bi lahko bila evidenca, ki se na splošno vodi pri upravljanju poslovne spletne strani, na primer evidenca v zvezi s številom obiskov v različnih obdobjih ali, v nekaterih primerih, državami, iz katerih se dostopa do spletne strani.
As to the relevant period, information on the internet or in online databases is considered to be of the date on which the information was posted.
Glede upoštevnega obdobja v zvezi z informacijami na spletu ali v spletnih podatkovnih zbirkah se šteje, da so z dne, ko so bile objavljene.
Internet websites often contain highly relevant information.
Spletna mesta pogosto vsebujejo zelo pomembne informacije.
Certain information may even be available only from such websites.
Nekatere informacije so lahko na voljo le na takšnih spletiščih.
This includes, for example, online catalogues that are not available in printed format.
To na primer vključuje spletne kataloge, ki niso na voljo v tiskani obliki.
The nature of the internet can make it difficult to establish the actual date on which information was in fact made available to the public.
Zaradi narave spleta je težko ugotoviti dejanski datum, ko so bile informacije dejansko dostopne javnosti.
For instance, not all web pages mention when they were published.
Na vseh spletnih straneh na primer ni navedeno, kdaj so bile objavljene.
In addition, websites are easily updated, yet most do not provide any archive of previously displayed material, nor do they display records that enable members of the public to establish precisely what was published when.
Poleg tega se spletne strani zlahka posodabljajo, pri čemer jih večina nima nikakršnega arhiva predhodno objavljenega gradiva, poleg tega ne vključujejo evidenc, ki bi javnosti omogočile, da natančno opredeli, kaj je bilo objavljeno in kdaj.
In this context, the date of use on the internet will be considered reliable in particular where:
V zvezi s tem se bo upoštevalo, da je datum uporabe na spletu zanesljiv, zlasti kadar:
the website time-stamps each entry and thus provides information relating to the history of modifications applied to a file or web page (for example, as available for Wikipedia or as automatically appended to content, e.g. forum messages and blogs); or
spletna stran označi vsak vnos s časovnim žigom in tako zagotavlja informacije o zgodovini sprememb, opravljenih na datoteki ali spletni strani (kot je na primer na voljo za Wikipedijo ali samodejno pripeto vsebini, npr. objavam na forumih ali spletnim dnevnikom), ali
indexing dates are given to the web page by search engines (e.g. from the Google™ cache); or
iskalniki spletni strani pripišejo datume indeksiranja (npr. iz predpomnilnika Google™), ali
a screenshot of a web page bears a given date.
je na posnetku zaslona spletne strani viden datum.
The evidence submitted must show that the online transactions were connected with the goods or services designated by the mark.
Iz predloženih dokazov mora biti razvidno, da so bile spletne transakcije povezane z blagom ali storitvami, označenimi z znamko.
Whereas the nature of the mark and, to a certain extent, the time (as seen above) and place are less complex elements to prove, the extent of use presents more difficulties if only evidence of internet use is provided.
Narava blagovne znamke ter deloma tudi čas (kot je razvidno zgoraj) in kraj so manj zapleteni elementi za dokazovanje, veliko težje pa je dokazati obseg uporabe, če so zagotovljeni le dokazi o spletni uporabi.
2.4 Place of use
Kraj uporabe
2.4.1 Use on the ‘domestic' market
Uporaba na domačem trgu
Trade marks must be used in the territory where they are protected (European Union for EUTMs, the territory of the Member State for national marks or Benelux for Benelux marks, and the territories of the relevant countries for international registrations).
Blagovne znamke je treba uporabljati na ozemlju, kjer so zaščitene (ta so Evropska unija za blagovne znamke EU, ozemlje države članice za nacionalne znamke ali ozemlje Beneluksa za znamke Beneluksa in ozemlja ustreznih držav za mednarodne registracije).
As the Court held in para. 30 of Leno Merken, its judgment of 19/12/2012, C149/11, Onel / Omel, EU:C:2012:816, ‘the territorial scope of the use is only one of several factors to be taken into account in the determination of whether that use is genuine or not'.
Kot je Sodišče menilo v točki 30 sodbe v zadevi Leno Merken (19/12/2012, C149/11, Onel / Omel, EU:C:2012:816), je „ozemeljski obseg uporabe le eden od dejavnikov, ki jih je treba upoštevati pri ugotavljanju, ali je ta uporaba resna in dejanska“.
The Court further indicated that use of the mark in non-EU territories cannot be taken into account (para. 38).
Sodišče je poleg tega navedlo, da ni mogoče upoštevati uporabe te blagovne znamke v državah, ki niso članice EU (točka 38).
In view of the globalisation of trade, an indication of the registered seat of the owner of the mark may not be regarded as sufficient indication that the use has taken place in that particular country.
Navedba registriranega sedeža imetnika znamke se zaradi globalizacije trgovine morda ne upošteva kot zadosten dokaz, da je uporaba potekala v zadevni državi.
Even though Article 18(1)(b) EUTMR stipulates that the affixing of the trade mark to goods or to the packaging thereof in the European Union solely for export purposes is considered as use of the mark, mere indication of the opponent's seat as such does not constitute evidence of such acts.
Čeprav člen 18(1)(b) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU določa, da se namestitev blagovne znamke EU na blago ali njegovo embalažo v Evropski uniji zgolj za potrebe izvoza upošteva kot uporaba znamke, le navedba sedeža vložnika ugovora ni dokaz o takšnih dejavnostih.
On the other hand, the fact that clients that have their seats outside the relevant territory are listed in the documents for proving use of the earlier mark is in itself not sufficient to rule out that services (e.g. promotion services) may actually have been rendered in the relevant territory for the benefit of these companies located in other territories (09/06/2010, R 952/20091, GLOBAL (fig.) / GLOBAL TABACOS (fig.), § 16).
Po drugi strani le dejstvo, da so stranke, ki imajo sedež zunaj upoštevnega ozemlja, navedene v dokumentih za dokazovanje uporabe prejšnje znamke, ni dovolj za izključitev, da so bile morda na upoštevnem ozemlju dejansko opravljene storitve (npr. promocijske storitve) v korist teh podjetij, ki imajo sedež na drugih ozemljih (09/06/2010, R 952/20091, GLOBAL (fig.) / GLOBAL TABACOS (fig.), § 16).
2.4.2 EUTMs: use in the European Union
Blagovne znamke EU: uporaba v Evropski uniji
If the earlier mark is a European Union mark, it must be used ‘in the Union' (Articles 18(1) and 47(2) EUTMR).
Če je prejšnja znamka blagovna znamka Evropske unije, jo je treba uporabljati v Uniji (člen 18(1) in člen 47(2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU).
Following Leno Merken, Article 18(1) EUTMR must be interpreted as meaning that the territorial borders of the Member States should be disregarded when assessing whether an EUTM has been put to ‘genuine use' in the European Union (para. 44).
V skladu s sodbo v zadevi Leno Merken je treba člen 18(1) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU razlagati tako, da se pri presoji, ali se blagovna znamka EU resno in dejansko uporablja v Evropski uniji, ne upoštevajo meje ozemlja držav članic (točka 44).
In territorial terms and in view of the unitary character of the EUTM, the appropriate approach is not that of political boundaries but of market(s).
V smislu ozemlja in zaradi enotne narave blagovne znamke EU se ustrezni pristop nanaša na trg(-e), ne na politične meje.
Moreover, one of the aims pursued by the EUTM system is to be open to businesses of all kinds and sizes.
Poleg tega je eden od ciljev sistema blagovne znamke EU ta, da je sistem odprt za podjetja vseh vrst in velikosti.
Therefore, the size of an undertaking is not a relevant factor for establishing genuine use.
Zato velikost podjetja ni upoštevni dejavnik za ugotovitev resne in dejanske uporabe.
As the Court indicated in Leno Merken, it is impossible to determine a priori and in the abstract what territorial scope should be applied in order to determine whether the use of the mark is genuine or not (para. 55).
Kot je Sodišče navedlo v sodbi v zadevi Leno Merken, ni mogoče vnaprej abstraktno določiti, kolikšen ozemeljski obseg je treba doseči, da bi se lahko uporaba zadevne blagovne znamke štela za resno in dejansko (točka 55).
All the relevant facts and circumstances must be taken into account, including the characteristics of the market concerned, the nature of the goods or services protected by the trade mark and the territorial extent and scale of the use as well as its frequency and regularity (para. 58).
Upoštevati je treba vsa zadevna dejstva in okoliščine, vključno z značilnostmi zadevnega trga, naravo blaga ali storitev, zaščitenih z blagovno znamko, ozemeljskim in količinskim obsegom uporabe ter pogostostjo in rednostjo uporabe (točka 58).
Use of an EUTM in the UK (15/07/2015, T398/13, TVR ITALIA (fig.) / TVR et al., EU:T:2015:503, § 57) or even in London and its immediate surroundings may be geographically sufficient (30/01/2015, T278/13, now, EU:T:2015:57).
Uporaba blagovne znamke EU v Združenem kraljestvu (15/07/2015, T398/13, TVR ITALIA (fig.) / TVR et al., EU:T:2015:503, § 57) ali celo v Londonu in njegovi neposredni okolici lahko geografsko zadošča (30/01/2015, T278/13, now, EU:T:2015:57).
The Board of Appeal decision of 07/03/2013, R 234/20122, now (fig.) (confirmed 30/01/2015, T278/13, now, EU:T:2015:57), considered the use of an EUTM for wireless broadband services in Class 42 in the geographical area comprising London and the Thames Valley sufficient to constitute genuine use in the United Kingdom and also in the European Union, taking into account the territorial extent [London being ‘the largest city in the United Kingdom and the largest urban zone in the European Union', having ‘a metropolitan area … with an estimated total population of between 12 million and 14 million people', being ‘the world's leading financial centre along with New York', ‘a leading centre of arts, science, tourism and media and information technology', and having a profile on the European commercial scene ‘disproportionately high in respect to the services in question' (R 234/20122, para. 47), and the Thames Valley being ‘200 miles long and 30 miles wide' and including ‘populous towns and cities of significant economic activity' (R 234/20122, para. 4546)], the scale, frequency and regularity of use and the characteristics of the market concerned (R 234/20122, para. 52).
V odločbi odbora za pritožbe 07/03/2013, R 234/20122, now (fig.) (potrjena 30/01/2015, T278/13, now, EU:T:2015:57), se je štelo, da uporaba blagovne znamke EU za brezžične širokopasovne storitve iz razreda 42 na geografskem območju, ki zajema London in regijo Thames Valley, zadostuje za ugotovitev resne in dejanske uporabe v Združenem kraljestvu in v Evropski uniji, in sicer ob upoštevanju ozemeljskega obsega [London je največje mesto v Združenem kraljestvu in največje urbano območje v Evropski uniji, ki ima velemestno območje […], na katerem po ocenah živi med 12 in 14 milijonov prebivalcev, je poleg New Yorka najpomembnejše svetovno finančno središče, vodilno umetniško, znanstveno, turistično, medijsko in informacijsko-tehnološko središče in ima v zvezi z zadevnimi storitvami nesorazmerno velik delež v evropskem poslovnem okolju (R 234/20122, para. 47), pri čemer je regija Thames Valley dolga 200 milj in široka 30 milj ter zajema gosto naseljena mesta velikega gospodarskega pomena (R 234/20122, para. 45 in 46)], obsega, pogostnosti in rednosti uporabe ter značilnosti zadevnega trga (R 234/20122, para. 52).
The Office must determine on a case-by-case basis whether the various indications and evidence can be combined for the purpose of assessing the genuine character of use, the geographical dimension of which is only one of the aspects to be considered.
Urad mora za vsak primer posebej opredeliti, ali je mogoče združiti različne podatke in dokaze za presojo resne in dejanske uporabe, pri čemer je geografska razsežnost le eden od vidikov, ki jih je treba upoštevati.
In any event, it must be underlined that the European requirements or standards for genuine use are applicable (i.e. the conditions of Article 18 EUTMR) and not national standards or practices applied to EUTMs.
Vsekakor je treba poudariti, da se uporabljajo evropske zahteve ali standardi za resno in dejansko uporabo (tj. pogoji iz člena 18 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU), ne pa nacionalni standardi ali prakse, ki se uporabljajo za blagovne znamke EU.
2.4.3 National marks: use in the relevant Member State
Nacionalne blagovne znamke: uporaba v upoštevni državi članici
If the earlier mark is a national mark with effect in one of the Member States of the European Union, the mark must have been genuinely used in the country where it is protected (Article 47(3) EUTMR).
Če je prejšnja znamka nacionalna znamka z učinkom v eni od držav članic Evropske unije, jo je bilo treba resno in dejansko uporabljati v državi, v kateri je varovana (člen 47(3) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU).
Use in a part of the Member State, provided it is genuine, may be considered sufficient:
Uporaba v delu države članice se lahko upošteva kot zadostna, če je resna in dejanska.
If the earlier mark is an international mark or a Benelux mark, the mark must have been genuinely used in the territory of the relevant countries of the international registration or in Benelux, respectively.
Če je prejšnja znamka mednarodna znamka ali znamka Beneluksa, se je morala resno in dejansko uporabljati na ozemlju zadevnih držav mednarodne registracije oziroma v Beneluksu.
2.4.4 Use in the import and export trade
Uporaba pri uvozu in izvozu
According to Article 18(1)(b) EUTMR, the affixing of the European Union trade mark to goods or to the packaging thereof in the European Union solely for export purposes also constitutes use within the meaning of Article 18(1) EUTMR.
V skladu s členom 18(1)(b) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU se za uporabo v smislu člena 18(1) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU šteje tudi namestitev blagovne znamke Evropske unije na blago ali njegovo embalažo v Evropski uniji izključno za potrebe izvoza.
The mark has to be used (i.e. affixed to goods or their packaging) in the relevant market - that is, the geographical area where it is registered.
Znamka se mora uporabljati (tj. biti nameščena na blago ali njegovo embalažo) na upoštevnem trgu, tj. geografskem območju, kjer je registrirana.
Evidence relating only to the import of the goods in the relevant area may, depending on the circumstances of the case, suffice as proof of use in this area (see by analogy 09/07/2010, T430/08, Grain Millers, EU:T:2010:304, § 33, 40 et seq. regarding proof of use in the course of trade of a sign, on the basis of imports from Romania to Germany).
Dokazi, ki se nanašajo le na uvoz blaga na upoštevnem območju, lahko glede na okoliščine zadeve zadostujejo za dokaz o uporabi na tem območju (glej po analogiji sodbo 09/07/2010, T430/08, Grain Millers, EU:T:2010:304, § 33, 40 et seq., v zvezi z dokazom o uporabi znaka v gospodarskem prometu na podlagi uvoza iz Romunije v Nemčijo).
