The regulations governing use form an integral part of the collective mark.
Pravilnik o uporabi je sestavni del kolektivne znamke.
They must specify the persons authorised to use the mark and the conditions for membership of the association, and can also include the conditions of use of the mark (Article 16 EUTMIR).
Določati mora osebe, pooblaščene za uporabo znamke, in pogoje za članstvo v združenju, ter vključevati pogoje uporabe znamke (člen 16 Izvedbene uredbe).
The regulations governing use should reflect the specific kind of mark of the application and the fact that the mark is indeed a collective mark, which will be used by the members of the association.
Pravilnik o uporabi mora navajati posebno vrsto znamke iz prijave in dejstvo, da je znamka dejansko kolektivna znamka, ki jo bodo uporabljali člani združenja.
In addition, where the collective mark is applied for by making use of the ‘geographical derogation' (see paragraph 4.1 below), the regulations governing use must explicitly authorise any person whose goods or services originate in the geographical area concerned to become a member of the association that is the proprietor of the mark.
Poleg tega mora pravilnik, če se pri prijavi kolektivne znamke izkoristi „geografsko odstopanje“ (glej odstavek 4.1 v nadaljevanju), vsaki osebi, katere blago ali storitve izvirajo z zadevnega geografskega območja, izrecno omogočati, da postane član združenja, ki je nosilec blagovne znamke.
Substantive examination of the application will begin only once the regulations governing use have been received.
Vsebinsko preizkušanje prijave se začne šele po prejemu pravilnika o uporabi.
3.2.3 Compliance with public policy and morality
Skladnost z javnim redom in moralo
If the regulations governing use of the mark are contrary to public policy or to accepted principles of morality, the EU collective mark application must be refused under Article 76(1) EUTMR.
Če je pravilnik o uporabi znamke v nasprotju z javnim redom ali sprejetimi moralnimi načeli, je treba prijavo kolektivne znamke EU zavrniti na podlagi člena 76(1) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
This ground for refusal applies in addition to Article 7(1)(f) EUTMR, which relates in the first place to the sign applied for.
Ta razlog za zavrnitev se uporablja dodatno k členu 7(1)(f) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU, ki se nanaša predvsem na znak, za katerega je bila vložena prijava.
It refers to situations where, regardless of the trade mark, the regulations governing use of the mark contain a provision that is contrary to public policy or to accepted principles of morality.
Zadeva situacije, v katerih pravilnik o uporabi znamke ne glede na blagovno znamko vsebuje določbo, ki je v nasprotju z javnim redom ali sprejetimi moralnimi načeli.
This would be the case, for example, where the authorisation or conditions of use discriminate between market operators without due justification (such as a lack of objective criteria or the application of inadmissible criteria) or where the regulations governing use establish manifestly discriminatory fees.
Tako je, na primer kadar pooblastilo ali pogoji uporabe razlikujejo med udeleženci na trgu brez ustrezne utemeljitve (kot je neobstoj objektivnih meril ali uporaba nedopustnih meril) ali kadar pravilnik o uporabi določa očitno diskriminatorne pristojbine.
3.2.4 Remedies
Pravna sredstva
In some cases, it will be possible to amend the regulations governing use in order to remove a ground for refusal of an EU collective mark application (Article 76(3) EUTMR) raised by the Office under Articles 76(1) and (2) EUTMR.
V nekaterih primerih je mogoče spremeniti pravilnik o uporabi, da se odpravi razlog za zavrnitev kolektivne znamke EU (člen 76(3) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU), ki ga Urad vloži na podlagi člena 76(1) in (2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
4 Specificities as Regards the General Absolute Grounds for Refusal
Posebnosti v zvezi s splošnimi absolutnimi razlogi za zavrnitev
In addition to the specific grounds for refusal applicable to collective marks, applications for this kind of mark need to be examined with regard to the absolute grounds for refusal listed in Article 7(1) EUTMR (Article 74(3) EUTMR).
Razen v zvezi s posebnimi razlogi za zavrnitev, ki se uporabljajo za kolektivne znamke, je treba prijave za tovrstne znamke preizkusiti tudi v zvezi z absolutnimi razlogi za zavrnitev, navedenimi v členu 7(1) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU (člen 74(3) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU).
This means that EU collective mark applications will, like any other EUTM application, be assessed on all general grounds for refusal laid down in Article 7(1) EUTMR.
To pomeni, da se prijava kolektivne znamke EU tako kot vsaka druga prijava blagovne znamke EU preizkusi glede vseh splošnih razlogov za zavrnitev iz člena 7(1) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
If, for example, a collective mark is not inherently distinctive under Article 7(1)(b) EUTMR, it will be refused (18/07/2008, R 229/20064, CHARTERED MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTANT, § 7).
Če na primer kolektivna znamka v skladu s členom 7(1)(b) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU nima svojstvenega razlikovalnega učinka, bo zavrnjena (18/07/2008, R 229/20064, CHARTERED MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTANT, § 7).
4.1 Descriptive signs and the ‘geographical derogation'
Opisni znaki in „geografsko odstopanje“
Pursuant to Article 74(2) EUTMR, signs or indications that may serve, in trade, to designate the geographical origin of the goods or services may constitute EU collective marks.
V skladu s členom 74(2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU so znaki in označbe, ki v gospodarskem prometu lahko označujejo geografski izvor blaga ali storitev, lahko kolektivne znamke EU.
As a result, a sign that describes the geographical origin of the goods or services (and that would be refused if it were applied for as an individual EUTM) can be accepted if:
Zato se lahko sprejme znak, ki opisuje geografski izvor blaga ali storitev (in bi bil zavrnjen, če bi bila zanj vložena prijava za posamezno blagovno znamko EU), če:
it is validly applied for as an EU collective mark; and
je zanj veljavno vložena prijava za kolektivno znamko EU in
it complies with the authorisation set out in Article 75(2) EUTMR (05/10/2006, R 280/20061, VINO NOBILE, § 16-17).
je skladen s pooblastilom iz člena 75(2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU (05/10/2006, R 280/20061, VINO NOBILE, § 16-17).
According to this provision, the regulations governing use of an EU collective mark that is descriptive must authorise any person whose goods or services originate in the geographical area concerned to become a member of the association that is the proprietor of the mark.
V skladu s to določbo mora pravilnik o uporabi kolektivne znamke EU, ki je opisna, vsaki osebi, katere blago ali storitve izvirajo z zadevnega geografskega območja, omogočiti, da postane član združenja, ki je nosilec znamke.
For example, an application for the word mark ‘Alicante', specifying tourist services, should be refused under Article 7(1)(c) EUTMR if it is applied for as an individual EUTM, given that it describes the geographical origin of the services.
Tako je treba na primer prijavo za besedno znamko Alicante, ki opredeljuje turistične storitve, zavrniti na podlagi člena 7(1)(c) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU, če je bila zanjo vložena prijava za posamezno blagovno znamko EU, ker opisuje geografsko poreklo storitev.
However, as an exception, if it is validly applied for as an EU collective mark (i.e. it is applied for by an association or a legal person governed by public law and it complies with the other requirements of EU collective marks) and the regulations governing use of the mark contain the authorisation set out in Article 75(2) EUTMR, it will be accepted for registration.
Vendar bo registracija izjemoma sprejeta, če je zanjo veljavno vložena prijava za kolektivno znamko EU (tj. če prijavo vloži združenje ali javnopravne osebe in če so izpolnjene druge zahteve glede kolektivnih znamk EU) in če pravilnik o uporabi znamke vključuje pooblastilo iz člena 75(2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
This exception only applies to those signs that are descriptive of the geographical origin of the goods and services.
Ta izjema se uporablja samo za znake, ki opisujejo geografsko poreklo blaga in storitev.
If the EU collective mark is descriptive of other characteristics of the goods or services, this exception does not apply and the application will be refused under Article 7(1)(c) EUTMR (08/07/2010, R 934/20101, ENERGY WINDOW, § 38; 12/12/2014, R1360/20145, DOWNMARK, § 35; 15/11/2012, T278/09, GG, EU:T:2012:601, § 48, 49; 17/05/2011, T341/09, Txakoli, EU:T:2011:220, § 33-35).
Če kolektivna znamka EU opisuje druge značilnosti blaga ali storitev, se ta izjema ne uporablja, prijava pa se zavrne na podlagi člena 7(1)(c) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU (08/07/2010, R 934/20101, ENERGY WINDOW, § 38; 12/12/2014, R1360/20145, DOWNMARK, § 35; 15/11/2012, T278/09, GG, EU:T:2012:601, § 48, 49; 17/05/2011, T341/09, Txakoli, EU:T:2011:220, § 33-35).
4.2 Objections raised under Article 7(1)(j), (k) or (l) EUTMR
Ugovori na podlagi člena 7(1)(j), (k) ali (l) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU
In the event that the goods and services have to be limited as a consequence of an objection raised under Article 7(1)(j) (geographical indication), 7(1)(k) (traditional terms for wines) or 7(1)(l) EUTMR (traditional specialities guaranteed), the applicant of the EU collective mark has to amend the regulations governing use accordingly (Article 16(h) EUTMIR).
Če je treba blago in storitve omejiti zaradi ugovora, vloženega na podlagi člena 7(1)(j) (geografska označba), člena 7(1)(k) (tradicionalni izrazi za vina) ali člena 7(1)(l) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU (zajamčene tradicionalne posebnosti), mora prijavitelj kolektivne znamke EU ustrezno spremeniti pravilnik o uporabi (člen 16(h) Izvedbene uredbe).
For further information regarding these objections, please see the Guidelines, Part B, Examination, Section 4, Absolute Grounds for Refusal, Chapters 10, 11 and 12.

Relevant Provisions
Zadevne določbe
As of 1 October 2017, the certification mark is codified as a new kind of European Union trade mark governed by specific provisions.
Certifikacijska znamka je od 1. oktobra 2017 kodificirana kot nova vrsta blagovne znamke Evropske unije, ki jo urejajo posebne določbe.
Until the latest amendment of the EUTMR by Amending Regulation (EU) 2015/2424, certification marks could not be protected as European Union trade marks.
Do zadnje spremembe Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU z Uredbo (EU) 2015/2424 o spremembi varstvo certifikacijskih znamk kot blagovnih znamk Evropske unije ni bilo mogoče.
The relevant specific provisions for certification marks have been laid down in Chapter VIII EUTMR and are completed by the provision of Article 17 EUTMIR.
Ustrezne specifične določbe za certifikacijske znamke so zajete v poglavju VIII Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU, dopolnjujejo pa jih določbe iz člena 17 Izvedbene uredbe.
EU designations in international registrations (IRs) are addressed in Article 194 EUTMR.
Mednarodne registracije, v katerih je imenovana EU, so obravnavane v členu 194 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
The general provisions of the EUTMR apply to EU certification marks as well, unless the specific provisions of Articles 83 to 93 EUTMR provide otherwise.
Splošne določbe Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU se uporabljajo tudi za certifikacijske znamke EU, če specifične določbe členov 83 do 93 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU ne določajo drugače.
The latter lay down some particularities and exceptions to the general EUTM regime as regards EU certification marks, which need to be taken into account when filing and examining such marks.
Ti členi določajo nekatere posebnosti in izjeme od splošne ureditve za blagovne znamke EU ter jih je treba upoštevati pri vložitvi prijave za te znamke in preizkušanju teh znamk.
Definition and Specific Function
Opredelitev in posebna funkcija
The certification mark is a third kind of European Union trade mark established by the EUTMR in addition to the individual trade mark and the collective trade mark.
Certifikacijska znamka je tretja vrsta blagovnih znamk Evropske unije, ki jo poleg posamezne blagovne znamke in kolektivne znamke uvaja Uredba o blagovni znamki EU.
Article 83(1) EUTMR defines the EU certification mark as a mark that ‘is capable of distinguishing goods or services which are certified by the proprietor of the mark in respect of material, mode of manufacture of goods or performance of services, quality, accuracy or other characteristics, with the exception of geographical origin, from goods and services which are not so certified'.
Člen 83(1) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU certifikacijsko znamko opredeljuje kot znamko, ki „omogoča razlikovanje med blagom ali storitvami, ki jih je imetnik znamke certificiral na podlagi materiala, načina proizvodnje blaga ali opravljanja storitev, kakovosti, natančnosti ali drugih značilnosti z izjemo geografskega porekla, na eni strani ter blagom in storitvami, ki niso certificirani, na drugi strani“.
The list of possible characteristics to be certified by an EU certification mark is non-exhaustive and can relate to characteristics other than material, mode of manufacture or performance, quality or accuracy.
Seznam možnih značilnosti, ki jih certificira certifikacijska znamka EU, ni izčrpen in se lahko nanaša na druge značilnosti kot material, način proizvodnje blaga ali opravljanja storitev, kakovost ali natančnost.
It explicitly excludes, however, the possibility of certifying the geographical origin of goods or services.
Izrecno pa izključuje možnost certificiranja geografskega porekla blaga ali storitev.
The owner of the certification mark does not necessarily have to provide the certification services itself.
Ni nujno, da imetnik certifikacijske znamke sam zagotavlja storitve certificiranja.
It is sufficient that the certification process is conducted under its control and supervision (see paragraph 5.3.3 below).
Zadostuje, če kontrolira postopek certificiranja in se ta izvaja pod njegovim nadzorom (glej odstavek 5.3.3 v nadaljevanju).
Specific function
Posebna funkcija
A certification mark indicates that the goods or services bearing the mark (i) comply with a given standard set out by the owner of the mark (ii) as a result of a control set up by the certification mark owner, (iii) irrespective of the identity of the undertaking that actually produces or provides the goods and services at issue and actually uses the certification mark.
Certifikacijska znamka označuje, da so blago in storitve z znamko (i) skladni z zadevnim standardom, ki ga določi imetnik znamke, (ii) kot rezultat nadzora, ki ga vzpostavi imetnik certifikacijske znamke, (iii) ne glede na identiteto podjetja, ki dejansko proizvaja zadevno blago ali opravlja storitve ter dejansko uporablja certifikacijsko znamko.
The certification mark's essential distinguishing function, therefore, relates to the guarantee of specific characteristics of certain goods and services.
Bistvena razlikovalna funkcija certifikacijske znamke se tako nanaša na jamstvo posebnih značilnosti zadevnega blaga in storitev.
Sign and distinguishing capacity
Znak in razlikovalna sposobnost
First, as with any EUTM, a certification mark needs to be a sign capable of being represented on the Register of European Union trade marks.
Prvič, certifikacijska znamka mora biti kot vse blagovne znamke EU znak, ki se lahko prikaže v registru blagovnih znamk Evropske unije.
In this respect, the general rules apply (Article 83(3) and Article 4 EUTMR).
V zvezi s tem se uporabljajo splošna pravila (člen 83(3) in člen 4 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU).
Second, the sign should have the capacity to fulfil the certification mark's specific function of distinguishing goods or services that are certified with respect to a given standard from those that are not so certified (Article 83(1) and (3), Article 4(a) and Article 7(1)(a) EUTMR).
Drugič, znak mora biti sposoben izpolniti posebno funkcijo certifikacijske znamke in omogočati razlikovanje med blagom ali storitvami, ki so certificirani na podlagi določenega standarda, od tistih, ki niso certificirani (člen 83(1) in (3), člen 4(a) in člen 7(1)(a) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU).
Description as certification mark
Opis certifikacijske znamke
The applicant for a certification mark has to describe it as such in its application (Article 83 EUTMR).
Prijavitelj certifikacijske znamke mora znamko kot tako opisati v prijavi (člen 83 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU).
Therefore, when submitting an application, the applicant will include a statement to the effect that the application is for registration of an EU certification mark (Article 2(1)(i) EUTMIR).
Zato prijavitelj ob vložitvi prijave priloži izjavo o tem, da gre za prijavo registracije certifikacijske znamke EU (člen 2(1)(i) Izvedbene uredbe).
If the examination of the application reveals that the applicant indicated the wrong kind of mark, this might be adjusted in some specific cases (see the Guidelines, Part B, Examination, Section 2, Formalities, paragraph 8.4).
Če se ob preizkušanju prijave ugotovi, da je prijavitelj navedel napačno vrsto znamke, se to lahko v nekaterih specifičnih primerih popravi (glej Smernice, del B: Preizkušanje, razdelek 2: Formalnosti, odstavek 8.4).
List of goods and services
Seznam blaga in storitev
Certification marks should be applied for in respect of the goods and services that will be certified by the owner of the mark.
Prijava certifikacijske znamke se vloži za blago in storitve, ki jih bo certificiral imetnik znamke.
The list of goods and services has to comply with the general rules of precision and clarity (Article 33 EUTMR).
Seznam blaga in storitev mora biti skladen s splošnimi pravili o jasnosti in natančnosti (člen 33 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU).
The list does not need to contain an explicit statement that the goods and services listed are subject to certification (in general or against a particular standard), as a certification mark has in any case to be ‘described as such' in the application.
Ni nujno, da seznam zajema izrecno izjavo, da se certificirajo navedeno blago in storitve (na splošno ali na podlagi zadevnega standarda), saj je treba certifikacijsko znamko opisati kot tako v prijavi.
For example, if the sign were applied for as a certification mark for nuts, crackers and muffins (invented example), there would be no need to explicitly specify certified by ‘name of the applicant', nor under the certification of the certified vegan logo or any other indication relating to the certification process itself.
Na primer, če bi se vložila prijava za znak kot certifikacijska znamka za oreščke, krekerje in kolačke (izmišljen primer), ne bi bilo treba izrecno navesti certificiral „ime prijavitelja“ niti certificirano v skladu s certificiranim veganskim logotipom ali kakor koli drugače navesti postopek certificiranja.
The applicant could simply apply for the certification mark for vegan nuts, vegan crackers and vegan muffins.
Prijavitelj bi lahko preprosto vložil prijavo certifikacijske znamke za veganske oreščke, veganske krekerje in veganske kolačke.
The list of goods and services of an EU certification mark application must be included in the regulations of use (Article 17(d) EUTMIR).
Seznam blaga in storitev, ki jih zajema prijava certifikacijske znamke EU, je treba vključiti v pravilnik o uporabi znamke (člen 17(d) Izvedbene uredbe).
Regulations governing use
Pravilnik o uporabi znamke
The regulations governing use constitute an essential element of the certification mark since they contain information on the certification scheme and thus define its subject matter.
Pravilnik o uporabi znamke je bistveni element certifikacijske znamke, saj vsebuje informacije o certifikacijski shemi in tako opredeljuje vsebino znamke.
They need to contain, in particular, the characteristics of the goods or services to be certified, the conditions of use of the certification mark and the testing and supervision measures to be applied by the certification mark owner (Article 84(1) EUTMR, Article 17 EUTMIR).
Vsebovati mora predvsem značilnosti blaga ali storitev, ki se certificirajo, pogoje uporabe certifikacijske znamke ter ukrepe za preverjanje in nadzor, ki jih izvaja imetnik certifikacijske znamke (člen 84(1) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU in člen 17 Izvedbene uredbe).
Given their significance, the regulations of use should be drafted in a clear and accessible manner (see paragraph 5.3 below).
Pravilnik o uporabi znamke je treba glede na njegov pomen sestaviti jasno in zlahka dostopno (glej odstavek 5.3 v nadaljevanju).
The regulations governing use may be filed within 2 months of the application for the certification mark (Article 84(1) EUTMR); see the Guidelines, Part B, Examination, Section 2, Formalities, paragraph 8.3.
Pravilnik o uporabi znamke se lahko predloži v dveh mesecih po datumu vložitve prijave certifikacijske znamke (člen 84(1) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU); glej Smernice, del B: Preizkušanje, razdelek 2: Formalnosti, odstavek 8.3.
The substantive examination of the application will, however, only begin once the regulations governing use have been received.
Vsebinsko preizkušanje prijave pa se začne šele po prejemu pravilnika o uporabi znamke.
If the regulations governing use are amended, the modified version of the text must be submitted to the Office (Article 88(1) EUTMR), which will verify that the modifications satisfy the requirements of Article 84 EUTMR and do not raise any absolute ground applicable to EU certification marks.
Če se pravilnik o uporabi znamke spremeni, je treba besedilo spremenjene različice predložiti Uradu (člen 88(1) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU), ki preveri, ali spremembe izpolnjujejo zahteve iz člena 84 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU in ne pomenijo katerega koli absolutnega razloga, ki se uporablja za certifikacijske znamke EU.
When the regulations governing use refer to standards established in official or generally available sources, any changes of these standards automatically apply to the regulations governing use.
Če se pravilnik o uporabi znamke nanaša na standarde iz uradnih ali splošno dostopnih virov, vse spremembe teh standardov samodejno veljajo tudi za pravilnik o uporabi znamke.
In such cases, it is not necessary to amend the regulations governing use already filed at the Office.
V teh primerih ni treba spremeniti pravilnika o uporabi znamke, ki je že bil predložen Uradu.
