Each of the documents submitted has to be carefully evaluated as to whether it really reflects use in the 5 years preceding the date of filing or the date of priority of the EUTM application (see paragraph 2.5 below) and use in the relevant territory (see paragraph 2.4 below).
V zvezi z vsemi predloženimi dokumenti je treba skrbno presoditi, ali dejansko izražajo uporabo v petih letih pred datumom vložitve ali datumom prijave za prednostno pravico blagovne znamke EU (v zvezi s tem glej odstavek 2.5 v nadaljevanju) ali uporabo na upoštevnem ozemlju (glej odstavek 2.4 v nadaljevanju).
In particular, the dates and place of use shown on orders, invoices and catalogues are carefully examined.
Zlasti je treba skrbno preveriti datume in kraj uporabe, navedene na naročilnicah, računih in v katalogih.
[4: Publication date of the contested EUTM application in the event of oppositions filed before 23/03/2016, see paragraph 2.5.2 below.]
[4: V primeru ugovorov, vloženih pred 23. marcem 2016, datum, ko je bila objavljena izpodbijana prijava blagovne znamke EU, glej odstavek 2.5.2 v nadaljevanju.]
Material submitted without any indication of date of use may, in the context of an overall assessment, still be relevant and taken into consideration in conjunction with other pieces of evidence that are dated (17/02/2011, T324/09, Friboi, EU:T:2011:47, § 33).
Gradivo, ki je bilo predloženo brez navedbe datuma uporabe, je lahko še vedno pomembno v okviru celovite presoje in ga je mogoče upoštevati v povezavi z drugimi dokazi, ki so opremljena z datumom (17/02/2011, T324/09, Friboi, EU:T:2011:47, § 33).
This is the case in particular if it is common in a particular market sector for the samples of the goods and services themselves not to bear indications of time (05/09/2001, R 608/20004, PALAZZO / HELADERIA PALAZZO, § 16, noting that ice-cream menus are rarely dated).
To še zlasti velja, če je v nekem tržnem sektorju običajno, da na vzorcih blaga in storitev čas ni naveden (05/09/2001, R 608/20004, PALAZZO / HELADERIA PALAZZO, § 16, v kateri je bilo ugotovljeno, da so meniji sladoledov le redko opremljeni z datumom).
For implementation of the abovementioned general principles in practice, see the examples in paragraph 3.7.5 below.
V zvezi z izvajanjem zgoraj navedenih splošnih načel v praksi glej primere v odstavku 3.7.5 v nadaljevanju.
2.3 Nature of use
Narava uporabe
The term ‘nature of use' refers to:
Izraz narava uporabe se nanaša na:
use of a mark in accordance with its essential function (paragraph 2.3.1 below);
uporabo znamke v skladu z njeno bistveno funkcijo (odstavek 2.3.1 v nadaljevanju),
use of the mark as registered or of a variation thereof in accordance with Article 18(1)(a) EUTMR (paragraph 2.7 below); and
uporabo znamke, kot je bila registrirana, ali njene različice v skladu s členom 18(1)(a) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU (odstavek 2.7 v nadaljevanju) in
use in connection with the goods and services for which it is registered (paragraph 2.8 below).
uporabo v povezavi z blagom in storitvami, za katere je registrirana (odstavek 2.8 v nadaljevanju).
2.3.1 Use of a mark in accordance with its function
Uporaba znamke v skladu z njeno funkcijo
2.3.1.1 Use of individual marks
Uporaba posameznih znamk
Article 18 and Article 47(2) EUTMR require proof of genuine use in connection with the goods or services for which the trade mark is registered and which the opponent cites as justification for its opposition.
V členu 18 in členu 47(2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU se zahteva dokaz o resni in dejanski uporabi za blago ali storitve, za katere je blagovna znamka registrirana in ki jih je vložnik ugovora navedel kot podlago za ugovor.
Hence, the opponent has to show that the mark has been used as a trade mark on the market.
Vložnik ugovora mora zato dokazati, da se je blagovna znamka kot taka uporabljala na trgu.
As a trade mark has, inter alia, the function of operating as a link between the goods and services and the person responsible for their marketing, the proof of use must establish a clear link between the use of the mark and the relevant goods and services.
Ker ima blagovna znamka med drugim funkcijo povezovanja blaga in storitev z osebo, odgovorno za njihovo trženje, je treba z dokazom o uporabi opredeliti jasno povezavo med uporabo blagovne znamke ter upoštevnim blagom in storitvami.
As clearly indicated in Article 10(4) EUTMDR, it is not necessary for the mark to be affixed to the goods themselves (12/12/2014, T105/13 TrinkFix, EU:T:2014:1070, § 2838).
Kot je jasno navedeno v členu 10(4) Delegirane uredbe, ni nujno, da je znamka nameščena na blago (12/12/2014, T105/13 TrinkFix, EU:T:2014:1070, § 2838).
A representation of the mark on packaging, catalogues, advertising material or invoices relating to the goods and services in question constitutes direct evidence that the mark has been put to genuine use (see also paragraph 2.3.3.2 below).
Prikaz znamke na embalaži, v katalogih, na oglaševalskem gradivu ali računih, povezanih z zadevnim blagom in storitvami, je neposreden dokaz, da se je znamka resno in dejansko uporabljala (glej tudi odstavek 2.3.3.2 v nadaljevanju).
Genuine use requires that use is made as a trade mark:
Za resno in dejansko uporabo se zahteva, da se blagovna znamka uporablja kot:
not for purely illustrative purposes or on purely promotional goods or services,
ne le izključno za ponazoritev ali na povsem promocijskem blagu ali storitvah,
in accordance with its essential function, which is to guarantee the identity of the origin of the goods or services for which it is registered (11/03/2003, C40/01, Minimax, EU:C:2003:145, § 43).
v skladu z njeno bistveno funkcijo, ki je zagotavljati istovetnost izvora blaga ali storitev, za katere je registrirana (11/03/2003, C40/01, Minimax, EU:C:2003:145, § 43).
Therefore, by way of example, the following are not suitable for supporting genuine use of a trade mark.
Zato naslednji primeri niso ustrezni v podporo resni in dejanski uporabi blagovne znamke.
Use as a certification mark.
Uporaba znamke kot certifikacijske znamke.
Certification marks can be obtained in some jurisdictions for compliance with defined standards.
V nekaterih jurisdikcijah se lahko certifikacijske znamke pridobijo na podlagi skladnosti z določenimi standardi.
The holder of a certification mark is not the authorised user, producer or provider of the certified goods or services, but rather the certifier, which exercises legitimate control over use of the certification mark.
Imetnik certifikacijske znamke ni pooblaščeni uporabnik, proizvajalec ali ponudnik certificiranega blaga ali storitev, temveč je izdajatelj certifikata, ki izvaja legitimen nadzor nad uporabo certifikacijske znamke.
Certification marks may be used together with the individual trade mark of the producer of the certified goods or of the provider of the certified services.
Certifikacijske znamke se lahko uporabljajo skupaj s posamezno blagovno znamko proizvajalca certificiranega blaga ali ponudnika certificiranih storitev.
The essential function of a certification mark is different from the essential function of an individual trade mark: while the latter primarily serves to identify the origin of goods and services, the former serves to certify that the goods or services meet certain established standards and possess particular characteristics.
Bistvena funkcija certifikacijske znamke se razlikuje od bistvene funkcije posamezne blagovne znamke: zadnjenavedena se uporablja predvsem za opredelitev izvora blaga in storitev, prvonavedena pa certificira, da blago ali storitve izpolnjujejo nekatere veljavne standarde in imajo posebne značilnosti.
Therefore, use as a certification mark does not serve as use as an individual trade mark, which is the use required by Article 47(2) and (3) EUTMR (16/08/2011, R 87/20102, DVC DIGITAL VIDEO CALLING (fig.) / DVB DIGITAL VIDEO BROADCASTING (fig.), § 32).
Zato se uporaba znamke kot certifikacijske znamke ne šteje za uporabo posamezne blagovne znamke, ki je uporaba, zahtevana v členu 47(2) in (3) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU (16/08/2011, R 87/20102, DVC DIGITAL VIDEO CALLING (fig.) / DVB DIGITAL VIDEO BROADCASTING (fig.), § 32).
Use as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI)/Protected Denomination of Origin (PDO).
Uporaba znamke kot zaščitene geografske označbe (ZGO)/zaščitene označbe porekla (ZOP).
The essential function of PGIs/PDOs is to designate the origin of goods as being from a particular region or locality.
Bistvena funkcija ZGO/ZOP je označevanje porekla blaga iz zadevne regije ali kraja.
This is in contrast with the main function of an individual trade mark, namely to serve as an indicator of commercial origin.
To je v nasprotju z glavno funkcijo posamezne blagovne znamke, in sicer označevati trgovski izvor.
When a PGI/PDO has been registered as an individual mark (and not, for example, as a collective mark), the opponent has to submit proof of use as an individual mark.
Če je bila ZGO/ZOP registrirana kot posamezna znamka (ne na primer kot kolektivna znamka), mora vložnik ugovora predložiti dokaz o uporabi označbe kot posamezne blagovne znamke.
Evidence of use as a PGI/PDO (e.g. general statements of Regulatory Councils) cannot serve for proving use as an individual mark.
Dokazov o uporabi kot ZGO/ZOP (npr. splošne izjave regulativnih svetov) ni mogoče uporabljati za dokaz o uporabi kot posamezne znamke.
Use of a sign as a business, company or trade name can be regarded as trade mark use provided that the relevant goods or services themselves are identified and offered on the market under this sign (13/04/2011, T209/09, Alder Capital, EU:T:2011:169, § 5556).
Uporabo znaka kot poslovnega imena, imena podjetja ali trgovskega imena je mogoče šteti za uporabo blagovne znamke, če so tudi upoštevno blago ali storitve opredeljene in se ponujajo na trgu pod tem znakom (13/04/2011, T209/09, Alder Capital, EU:T:2011:169, § 5556).
In general, this is not the case when the business name is merely used as a shop sign (except when proving use for retail services), or appears on the back of a catalogue or as an incidental indication on a label (18/01/2011, T382/08, Vogue, EU:T:2011:9, § 47).
To na splošno ne velja, če se poslovno ime uporablja samo kot ime trgovine (razen kadar se uporablja za dokazovanje uporabe za storitve trgovine na drobno) ali se pojavi na zadnji strani kataloga ali kot naključna navedba na etiketi (18/01/2011, T382/08, Vogue, EU:T:2011:9, § 47).
In principle, use of the sign as a company name or trade name, is not, of itself, intended to distinguish goods or services.
Uporaba znaka kot imena podjetja ali trgovskega imena kot taka načeloma ni namenjena razlikovanju blaga ali storitev.
The purpose of a company name is to identify a company, whereas the purpose of a trade name or a shop name is to designate a business that is being run.
Namen imena podjetja je identifikacija podjetja, namen trgovskega imena ali imena trgovine pa je označevanje poslovne dejavnosti, ki se izvaja.
Accordingly, where use of a company name, trade name or shop name is limited to identifying a company or designating a business that is being run, such use cannot be considered as being ‘in relation to goods or services' (11/09/2007, C17/06, Céline, EU:C:2007:497, § 21; 13/05/2009, T183/08, Jello Schuhpark II, EU:T:2009:156, § 3132).
V skladu s tem ni mogoče šteti, da je takšna uporaba povezana z blagom ali storitvami, če je uporaba imena podjetja, trgovskega imena ali imena trgovine omejena na identifikacijo podjetja ali označevanje poslovne dejavnosti, ki se izvaja (11/09/2007, C17/06, Céline, EU:C:2007:497, § 21; 13/05/2009, T183/08, Jello Schuhpark II, EU:T:2009:156, § 3132).
Use of a business, company or trade name can be regarded as use ‘in relation to goods' where:
Uporabo poslovnega imena, imena podjetja ali trgovskega imena je mogoče šteti za uporabo v zvezi z blagom, če:
(a) a party affixes the sign constituting its company name, trade name or shop name to the goods or;
stranka na blago namesti znak, ki sestavlja ime podjetja, trgovsko ime ali ime trgovine, ali
(b) even though the sign is not affixed, the party uses the sign in such a way that a link is established between the company, trade or shop name and the goods or services (11/09/2007, C17/06, Céline, EU:C:2007:497, § 2123).
kljub temu, da znak ni nameščen, ga stranka uporablja tako, da je vzpostavljena povezava med imenom podjetja, trgovskim imenom ali imenom trgovine in blagom ali storitvami (11/09/2007, C17/06, Céline, EU:C:2007:497, § 2123).
Provided that either of these two conditions is met, the fact that a word element is used as the company's trade name does not preclude its use as a mark to designate goods or services (30/11/2009, T353/07, Coloris, EU:T:2009:475, § 38).
Če je izpolnjen kateri koli od teh pogojev, dejstvo, da se kot trgovsko ime podjetja uporablja besedni element, ne preprečuje njegove uporabe kot blagovne znamke za označevanje blaga ali storitev (30/11/2009, T353/07, Coloris, EU:T:2009:475, § 38).
For example, the presentation of the business name at the top of order forms or invoices, depending on how the sign appears on them may be suitable to support genuine use of the registered trade mark (06/11/2014, T463/12, MB, EU:T:2014:935, § 4445).
Na primer, prikaz poslovnega imena na vrhu naročilnic ali računov, odvisno od tega, kako je znak na njih prikazan, je lahko ustrezen v podporo resni in dejanski uporabi registrirane blagovne znamke (06/11/2014, T463/12, MB, EU:T:2014:935, § 4445).
However, mere use of a business name at the top of invoices without a clear reference to specific products/services is not sufficient.
Vendar ni dovolj le uporaba poslovnega imena na vrhu računov brez jasnega sklicevanja na posebne proizvode/storitve.
Use of a sign as a domain name or as part of a domain name primarily identifies the website as such.
Uporaba znaka kot domenskega imena ali dela domenskega imena v glavnem identificira spletišče kot tako.
However, depending on the circumstances, such use may also be use of a registered mark (this presupposes that it connects to a site on which the goods and services appear).
Vendar je lahko takšna uporaba glede na okoliščine tudi uporaba registrirane znamke (na podlagi domneve, da je povezana s spletnim mestom, na katerem so prikazani blago in storitve).
The mere fact that the opponent has registered a domain name containing the earlier trade mark is not sufficient in itself to prove genuine use of the trade mark.
Le dejstvo, da je vložnik ugovora registriral domensko ime, ki vključuje prejšnjo blagovno znamko, samo po sebi ne zadostuje za dokaz o resni in dejanski uporabi blagovne znamke.
It is necessary for the party to prove that the relevant goods or services are offered under the trade mark contained in the domain name.
Stranka mora dokazati, da se zadevno blago ali storitve ponujajo pod blagovno znamko, ki je del domenskega imena.
2.3.1.2 Use of collective and certification marks
Uporaba kolektivnih in certifikacijskih znamk
National and EU collective marks and certification marks can also constitute ‘earlier trade marks' within the meaning of Article 8(2) EUTMR on which an opposition can be based and, as such, be subject to the requirement of use pursuant to Article 47(2) and (3) EUTMR.
Nacionalne kolektivne in certifikacijske znamke ter kolektivne in certifikacijske znamke EU so lahko tudi prejšnje blagovne znamke v smislu člena 8(2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU, na katerih temelji ugovor, in zanje kot take lahko velja zahteva glede uporabe v skladu s členom 47(2) in (3) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
The requirements of the EUTMR relating to the conditions of use apply.
Uporabljajo se zahteve iz Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU v zvezi s pogoji uporabe.
However, the different function of these marks must be taken into account.
Vendar je treba upoštevati drugačno funkcijo teh znamk.
The opponent must demonstrate that the authorised persons (see paragraph 2.9.3 below) used the collective or certification mark in accordance with its essential function.
Vložnik ugovora mora dokazati, da so pooblaščene osebe (glej odstavek 2.9.3 v nadaljevanju) kolektivno ali certifikacijsko znamko uporabljale v skladu z njeno bistveno funkcijo.
The essential function of a collective mark is to distinguish the goods or services of the members of the association that is the proprietor of the mark from those of other undertakings.
Bistvena funkcija kolektivne znamke je razlikovati blago ali storitve članov združenja, ki je imetnik znamke, od blaga ali storitev drugih podjetij.
The specific characteristic of collective marks is to indicate the collective trade origin of the goods or services (and not an individual trade origin as is the case with individual marks).
Posebna značilnost kolektivnih znamk je, da označujejo kolektivni trgovski izvor blaga ali storitev (ne pa posamezni trgovski izvor kot v zvezi s posameznimi blagovnimi znamkami).
The essential function of a certification mark is not to indicate trade origin, as for individual and collective marks, but to differentiate the goods and services that are certified by the proprietor of the mark as meeting established standards and possessing particular characteristics from those that are not so certified.
Bistvena funkcija certifikacijske znamke ni označba trgovskega izvora kot pri posameznih in kolektivnih blagovnih znamkah, temveč razlikovanje blaga in storitev, v zvezi s katerimi imetnik znamke certificira, da izpolnjujejo veljavne standarde in imajo posebne značilnosti v primerjavi z blagom in storitvami, ki niso tako certificirani.
2.3.2 Public use in the course of trade
Javna uporaba v gospodarskem prometu
2.3.2.1 Public use versus internal use
Javna uporaba v primerjavi z notranjo uporabo
The use must be public, that is to say it must be external and apparent to actual or potential customers of the goods or services.
Uporaba mora biti javna, tj. biti mora zunanja in vidna dejanskim ali potencialnim strankam za blago ali storitve.
Use in the private sphere or purely internal use within a company or a group of companies does not amount to genuine use (09/12/2008, C442/07, Radetzky, EU:C:2008:696, § 22; 11/03/2003, C40/01, Minimax, EU:C:2003:145, § 37; 09/09/2015, T584/14, ZARA, EU:T:2015:604, § 33).
Zasebna uporaba ali uporaba za povsem notranje namene v podjetju ali skupini podjetij ne pomeni resne in dejanske uporabe (09/12/2008, C442/07, Radetzky, EU:C:2008:696, § 22; 11/03/2003, C40/01, Minimax, EU:C:2003:145, § 37; 09/09/2015, T584/14, ZARA, EU:T:2015:604, § 33).
The mark must be used publicly and outwardly in the context of commercial activity with a view to economic advantage for the purpose of ensuring an outlet for the goods and services that it represents (12/03/2003, T174/01, Silk Cocoon, EU:T:2003:68, § 39; 30/04/2008, T131/06, Sonia Sonia Rykiel, EU:T:2008:135, § 38).
Znamko je treba uporabljati javno in zunanje v okviru poslovne dejavnosti zaradi pridobivanja gospodarske koristi za zagotavljanje trga za blago in storitve, ki jih znamka označuje (12/03/2003, T174/01, Silk Cocoon, EU:T:2003:68, § 39; 30/04/2008, T131/06, Sonia Sonia Rykiel, EU:T:2008:135, § 38).
Outward use does not necessarily imply use aimed at end consumers.
Zunanja uporaba ne pomeni nujno uporabe, usmerjene na končne potrošnike.
For instance, the relevant evidence can validly stem from an intermediary, whose activity consists of identifying professional purchasers, such as distribution companies, to which the intermediary sells products it has had manufactured by original producers (21/11/2013, T524/12, RECARO, EU:T:2013:604, § 2526).
Ustrezni dokazi lahko na primer veljavno izhajajo od posrednika, čigar poslovna dejavnost zajema identifikacijo strokovnih kupcev, kot so distribucijske družbe, ki jim posrednik prodaja izdelke, ki so jih proizvedli prvotni proizvajalci (21/11/2013, T524/12, RECARO, EU:T:2013:604, § 2526).
Relevant evidence can also validly come from a distribution company that forms part of a group.
Ustrezni dokazi lahko veljavno izhajajo iz distribucijske družbe, ki je del skupine.
Distribution is a method of business organisation that is common in the course of trade and implies use of the mark that cannot be regarded as purely internal use by a group of companies, since the mark is also used outwardly and publicly (17/02/2011, T324/09, Friboi, EU:T:2011:47, § 32).
Distribucija je način poslovne organizacije, ki je običajen v gospodarskem prometu in pomeni uporabo blagovne znamke, ki je ni mogoče šteti za uporabo za povsem notranje namene skupine podjetij, saj se blagovna znamka uporablja tudi zunanje in javno (17/02/2011, T324/09, Friboi, EU:T:2011:47, § 32).
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.
Uporaba blagovne znamke se mora 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.
Mere preparation to use the mark - such as the printing of labels, producing of containers, etc. - is internal use and, therefore, not use in the course of trade for the present purposes (11/03/2003, C40/01, Minimax, EU:C:2003:145, § 37).
Priprava na uporabo blagovne znamke, kot je tiskanje etiket, izdelava embalaže itd., je notranja uporaba in zato ni uporaba v gospodarskem prometu za zadevne namene (11/03/2003, C40/01, Minimax, EU:C:2003:145, § 37).
2.3.2.2 Commercial activity versus promotional activity
Poslovna dejavnost v primerjavi s promocijsko dejavnostjo
Where the mark is protected for goods or services of not-for-profit enterprises, and the mark has been used, the fact that there is no profit motive behind the use is irrelevant: ‘The fact that a charitable association does not seek to make profit does not mean that its objective cannot be to create and, later, to preserve an outlet for its goods or services' (09/12/2008, C442/07, Radetzky, EU:C:2008:696, § 17).
Če je blagovna znamka zaščitena za nepridobitna podjetja za njihovo blago ali storitve in se je uporabljala, je dejstvo, da uporaba nima pridobitnega namena, nepomembno: „Okoliščina, da dobrodelno združenje ne stremi k ustvarjanju dobička, namreč ne izključuje možnosti, da bi bil njegov cilj ustvariti in posledično ohraniti možnosti za prodajo svojega blaga ali storitev“ (09/12/2008, C442/07, Radetzky, EU:C:2008:696, § 17).
Goods and services offered free of charge may constitute genuine use when they are offered commercially, that is to say with the intention of creating or maintaining an outlet for those goods or services in the EU, as opposed to the goods or services of other undertakings, and therefore of competing with them (09/09/2011, T289/09, Omnicare Clinical Research, EU:T:2011:452, § 6768).
Blago in storitve, ki se ponujajo brezplačno, lahko pomenijo resno in dejansko uporabo, kadar se ponujajo v okviru trgovanja, tj. za ustvarjanje ali ohranjanje trga za zadevno blago ali storitve v EU glede na blago ali storitve drugih podjetij in zato za ustvarjanje konkurence (09/09/2011, T289/09, Omnicare Clinical Research, EU:T:2011:452, § 6768).
Mere use of the mark on promotional material for other goods cannot normally be considered as sufficient (indirect) evidence of use within the meaning of trade mark law for the type of promotional items on which the mark is or has been used.
Uporabe blagovne znamke le na promocijskem gradivu za drugo blago običajno ni mogoče šteti za zadosten (posreden) dokaz o uporabi v smislu prava o blagovnih znamkah za vrsto promocijskih izdelkov, na katerih se znamka uporablja ali se je uporabljala.
For example, giving away articles of clothing such as T-shirts and baseball caps at promotional events with the purpose of marketing a certain other product, such as a drink, cannot be considered as genuine use of the mark at issue for clothing.
Na primer, brezplačnega razširjanja kosov oblačil, kot so majice s kratkimi rokavi in kape s ščitnikom, na promocijskih dogodkih zaradi trženja nekega drugega proizvoda, kot je pijača, ni mogoče šteti za resno in dejansko uporabo zadevne znamke za oblačila.
The Office practice concerning ‘genuine use' with regard to promotional articles has been confirmed by the Court.
Sodišče je potrdilo prakso Urada glede resne in dejanske uporabe za promocijske izdelke.
