natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
The Office will exercise its duties in respect of ‘bad faith filings' only when a request for a declaration of invalidity is filed (Article 59(1)(b) EUTMR).
Urad bo izpolnil svoje dolžnosti v zvezi z vložitvami v slabi veri le v primeru vložene zahteve za ugotovitev ničnosti (člen 59(1)(b) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU).
The national offices of the new Member States are equally determined to act against bad faith in the context of enlargement.
Nacionalni uradi v novih državah članicah so enako odločni, da ukrepajo proti slabi veri v okviru širitve.
EUTM applicants should, therefore, bear in mind that, even if there are no grounds for refusal during the registration procedure, their EUTM registrations may be contested at a later date on the basis of Article 59(1)(b) EUTMR.
Prijavitelji blagovnih znamk EU se morajo torej zavedati, da tudi če ni razloga za zavrnitev med postopkom registracije, je mogoče njihovo registrirano blagovno znamko EU pozneje izpodbijati na podlagi člena 59(1)(b) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
2.5 Conversion
Konverzija
Conversion of an EUTM application into national trade mark applications for new Member States may be requested as from the accession date of those States.
Od datuma pristopa novih držav članic se lahko zahteva konverzija prijav za blagovno znamko EU v prijave za nacionalno blagovno znamko.
Conversion is also possible when a converted EUTM has a filing date prior to the accession date.
Konverzija je mogoča tudi, če je bila spremenjena blagovna znamka EU vložena pred datumom pristopa.
However, in the case of a new Member State, the converted application will have the effect of an earlier right under national law.
Vendar ima spremenjena prijava v primeru nove države članice na podlagi nacionalne zakonodaje učinek prejšnje pravice.
National law in new Member States has enacted provisions equivalent to Article 209 EUTMR providing that extended EUTMs have the effect of earlier rights in the new Member States only with effect from the accession date.
Nacionalna zakonodaja v novih državah članicah je uvedla določbe, ki so enakovredne členu 209 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU in določajo, da imajo razširjene blagovne znamke EU učinek prejšnje pravice v novih državah članicah, kar velja samo od datuma pristopa.
In practice, this means that the ‘conversion date' in a new Member State cannot be earlier than that State's accession date.
V praksi to pomeni, da datum konverzije v novi državi članici ne more biti pred datumom pristopa.
Taking Croatia's accession as an example, this means that even if a converted EUTM has a filing date of 01/05/2005, in Croatia the conversion date will not be 01/05/2005 but 01/07/2013, that is to say, Croatia's accession date.
Na primeru pristopa Hrvaške to pomeni, da tudi če je bila spremenjena blagovna znamka EU vložena 1. maja 2005, na Hrvaškem datum konverzije ne bo 1. maj 2005, ampak 1. julij 2013, tj. datum pristopa Hrvaške.
The date of enlargement does not trigger a new 3-month time limit for requesting conversion under Article 139(4) EUTMR.
Datum širitve ne pomeni začetka novega trimesečnega roka za vložitev zahteve za konverzijo v skladu s členom 139(4) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
2.6 Other practical consequences
Druge praktične posledice
2.6.1 Professional representation
Poklicno zastopanje
As from the accession date of a new Member State, applicants (as well as other parties to proceedings before the Office) with their seat or domicile in that State need no longer be represented by a professional representative.
Z dnem pristopa nove države članice prijavitelji (ter druge stranke v postopku pred Uradom) s sedežem ali stalnim prebivališčem v tej državi za zastopanje ne potrebujejo več poklicnega zastopnika.
As from the accession date of a new Member State, professional representatives from that State may be entered on the list of professional representatives maintained by the Office pursuant to Article 120 EUTMR and may then represent third parties before the Office.
Z dnem pristopa nove države članice se lahko poklicni zastopniki iz navedene države vpišejo na seznam poklicnih zastopnikov, ki ga vodi Urad v skladu s členom 120 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU, in lahko nato zastopajo tretje osebe pred Uradom.
2.6.2 First and second language
Prvi in drugi jezik
As of the accession date of a new Member State (see Annex 1), the official language(s) of that State may be used as the first language for EUTM applications filed on or after that date.
Z dnem pristopa nove države članice (glej Prilogo 1) se lahko uradni jezik(-i) navedene države uporablja(-jo) kot prvi jezik v prijavah blagovne znamke EU, vloženih na ta dan ali pozneje.
2.6.3 Translation
Prevajanje
EUTM applications with a filing date prior to the accession date of a new Member State and existing EUTM registrations will neither be translated into nor republished in the language of that State.
Prijave blagovne znamke EU, vložene pred datumom pristopa nove države članice, in obstoječe registracije blagovnih znamk EU, se ne prevajajo, niti se ne objavijo znova v jeziku navedene države.
EUTM applications filed after the accession date of a new Member State will be translated into and published in all official languages of the EU.
Prijave blagovne znamke EU, vložene po datumu pristopa nove države članice, se prevedejo in objavijo v vseh uradnih jezikih EU.
2.6.4 Seniority
Prednost starejše znamke
Seniority may be claimed from a national trade mark that was registered before the accession of the new Member State in question or even before the creation of the European Union.
Prednost starejše znamke se lahko zahteva za nacionalne blagovne znamke, ki so bile registrirane pred datumom pristopa zadevne nove države članice ali celo pred ustanovitvijo Evropske unije.
The seniority claim may, however, only be made after the accession date.
Vendar je mogoče zahtevo po prednosti starejše znamke vložiti le po datumu pristopa.
The mark registered in the new Member State must be ‘earlier' than the EUTM.
Znamka, registrirana v novi državi članici, mora biti „starejša“ od blagovne znamke EU.
As an extended EUTM has, in the new Member State, the effect of an earlier right as from the accession date, the seniority claim only makes sense when the earlier national mark has a filing or priority date prior to the accession date.
Ker ima razširjena blagovna znamka EU v novi državi članici od datuma pristopa učinek prejšnje pravice, je zahteva po prednosti starejše znamke smiselna le, kadar je datum vložitve ali datum prednostne pravice prejšnje nacionalne znamke pred datumom pristopa.
Example 1 The same person files an EUTM application on 01/04/1996 and a national trade mark application in Romania on 01/01/1999.
Primer 1: Ista oseba 1. aprila 1996 vloži prijavo blagovne znamke EU in 1. januarja 1999 prijavo nacionalne blagovne znamke v Romuniji.
After 01/01/2007 (Romania's date of accession), the seniority of the Romanian national trade mark application may be claimed.
Po 1. januarju 2007 (datum pristopa Romunije) se lahko uveljavlja prednost prijave za romunsko nacionalno znamko.
Example 2 The same person owns an international registration designating the EU on 01/01/2005 and subsequently designating Romania on 01/01/2006.
Primer 2: Ista oseba 1. januarja 2005 postane imetnik mednarodne registracije, v kateri je imenovana EU, in nato 1. januarja 2006 imetnik registracije, v kateri je imenovana Romunija.
After 01/01/2007, the seniority of that Romanian designation may be claimed even though the designation itself is later than the IR designating the EU.
Po 1. januarju 2007 se lahko prednost navedenega imenovanja Romunije uveljavlja tudi, če je bilo samo imenovanje po mednarodni registraciji, v kateri je imenovana EU.
This is because the extended EUTM takes effect from the accession date of the new Member State (in this case 01/01/2007).
To je posledica dejstva, da začne razširjena blagovna znamka EU veljati na dan pristopa nove države članice (v tem primeru 1. januarja 2007).
2.6.5 Search
Poizvedba
The national offices of a new Member State may carry out searches (Article 43(2) and (3) EUTMR) as from that State's accession date.
Nacionalni uradi nove države članice lahko opravljajo poizvedbe (člen 43(2) in (3) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU) od datuma pristopa navedene države članice.
Only EUTM applications with a filing date on or after the accession date are sent to national offices for a search.
Nacionalnim uradom se v poizvedbo pošljejo samo prijave blagovne znamke EU, ki so bile vložene na dan pristopa ali po njem.
3 Rules Concerning Oppositions and Cancellations
Pravila glede ugovorov in izbrisov
1. According to Article 209(4)(b) EUTMR, an EUTM application cannot be opposed or declared invalid on the basis of a national earlier right acquired in a new Member State prior to that State's accession date.
V skladu s členom 209(4)(b) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU prijavi blagovne znamke EU ni mogoče ugovarjati ali je ugotoviti za nično na podlagi prejšnje nacionalne pravice, pridobljene v novi državi članici pred datumom njenega pristopa.
However, EUTM applications filed on or after the accession date are not subject to this ‘grandfathering clause' and may be rejected upon opposition, or declared invalid, on account of an earlier national right existing in a new Member State, provided that the earlier right is ‘earlier' when the two filing or priority dates are compared.
Vendar ta predhodna določba ne velja za prijave blagovne znamke EU, vložene na datum pristopa ali po njem, saj se lahko zavrnejo na podlagi ugovora ali ugotovijo za nične zaradi prejšnje nacionalne pravice, ki je obstajala v novi državi članici, če je prejšnja pravica pri primerjavi dveh datumov vložitve ali datumov prednostne pravice dejansko „starejša“.
2. An exception to this (transitional) rule is contained in Article 209(3) EUTMR regarding oppositions.
Izjema od tega (prehodnega) pravila je opisana v členu 209(3) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU glede ugovorov.
An EUTM application filed within the 6 months preceding the accession date may be challenged by an opposition based on a national right existing in a new Member State at the date of the accession, provided that this right
Prijava blagovne znamke EU, vložena v šestih mesecih pred datumom pristopa, se lahko izpodbija z ugovorom, ki temelji na veljavni nacionalni pravici v novi državi članici na dan pristopa, če ima ta pravica:
has an earlier filing or priority date, and
starejši datum vložitve ali datum prednostne pravice in
was acquired in good faith.
je bila pridobljena v dobri veri.
3. The filing date and not the priority date is the decisive element for determining when an EUTM application can be opposed on the basis of an earlier right in a new Member State.
Odločilni element pri odločanju, ali je mogoče prijavi blagovne znamke EU ugovarjati na podlagi prejšnje pravice v novi državi članici, je datum vložitve, in ne datum prednostne pravice.
In practice, the abovementioned provisions have the consequences illustrated in the following examples with reference to the accession of Croatia (01/07/2013).
V praksi imajo zgoraj navedene določbe posledice, ki so opisane v naslednjih primerih v zvezi s pristopom Hrvaške (1. julij 2013).
An EUTM application filed before 01/01/2013 (the priority date is irrelevant in this context) cannot be opposed or declared invalid on the basis of a national earlier right in a new Member State under any circumstances.
Prijavi blagovne znamke EU, vloženi pred 1. januarjem 2013 (datum prednostne pravice v tem okviru ni pomemben), ni mogoče v nobenih okoliščinah ugovarjati ali je ugotoviti za nično na podlagi prejšnje nacionalne pravice v novi državi članici.
An EUTM application with a filing date of 01/07/2013 or later may be opposed or declared invalid on the basis of a trade mark registered in Croatia if that mark has an earlier filing or priority date under the normal rules.
Prijavi blagovne znamke EU, vloženi 1. julija 2013 ali pozneje, je mogoče ugovarjati ali jo ugotoviti za nično na podlagi blagovne znamke, registrirane na Hrvaškem, če je datum vložitve ali datum prednostne pravice starejši na podlagi običajnih pravil.
Acquisition in good faith is not a condition.
Pridobitev v dobri veri ni pogoj.
This applies to all national marks and earlier non-registered rights filed or acquired in a new Member State prior to accession.
To velja za vse nacionalne znamke in prejšnje neregistrirane pravice, vložene ali pridobljene v novi državi članici pred njenim pristopom.
An EUTM application with a filing date of 01/07/2013 or later but with a priority date before 01/07/2013 may be opposed or declared invalid on the basis of a national trade mark registered in Croatia if that mark has an earlier filing or priority date under the normal rules.
Prijavi blagovne znamke EU, vloženi 1. julija 2013 ali pozneje, vendar z datumom prednostne pravice pred 1. julijem 2013, je mogoče ugovarjati ali jo ugotoviti za nično na podlagi nacionalne blagovne znamke, registrirane na Hrvaškem, če je datum vložitve ali datum prednostne pravice starejši na podlagi običajnih pravil.
This transitional exception is limited to the right to file an opposition and does not include the right to file an application for cancellation based on relative grounds.
Ta prehodna izjema je omejena na pravico do vložitve ugovora in ne vključuje pravice do vložitve zahteve za izbris na podlagi relativnih razlogov.
This means that once the abovementioned period of 6 months has expired without an opposition having been lodged, the EUTM application cannot be challenged any more by an opposition or by an application for a declaration of invalidity.
To pomeni, da prijave blagovne znamke EU ni več mogoče izpodbijati z ugovorom ali prijavo za ugotovitev ničnosti, ko poteče zgoraj navedeno šestmesečno obdobje, v katerem ni bil vložen noben ugovor.
4. According to Article 209(5) EUTMR, the use of an EUTM with a filing date prior to the date of accession of a new Member State, may be prohibited pursuant to Articles 137 and 138 EUTMR on the basis of an earlier national trade mark registered in the new Member State where the latter has a filing or priority date prior to the date of accession and was registered in good faith.
V skladu s členom 209(5) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU se lahko uporaba blagovne znamke EU, ki je bila vložena pred datumom pristopa nove države članice, prepove v skladu s členoma 137 in 138 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU na podlagi prejšnje nacionalne blagovne znamke, registrirane v novi državi članici, če je datum vložitve ali prednostne pravice zadnjenavedene znamke starejši od datuma pristopa te države in je bila ta znamka registrirana v dobri veri.
The above provision also applies to:
Zgornja določba velja tudi za:
applications for national marks filed in new Member States, provided that they have subsequently been registered;
prijave nacionalnih znamk, vložene v novih državah članicah, če so bile pozneje registrirane,
unregistered rights acquired in new Member States falling under Article 8(4) or Article 60(2) EUTMR with the proviso that the date of acquisition of the right under national law replaces the filing or priority date.
neregistrirane pravice, ki so bile pridobljene v novih državah članicah in so zajete v členu 8(4) ali členu 60(2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU, če se datum pridobitve pravice na podlagi nacionalne zakonodaje zamenja z datumom vložitve ali datumom prednostne pravice.
5. Where an opposition is based on a national registered mark or other right in a new Member State, whether or not that right may validly be invoked as a ground for opposition against an EUTM application depends on whether the opposition is well founded and is not an issue of admissibility.
V primeru ugovora na podlagi nacionalne registrirane znamke ali druge pravice v novi državi članici je to, ali je mogoče navedeno pravico veljavno uporabiti kot podlago za ugovor zoper prijavo blagovne znamke EU, odvisno od tega, ali je ugovor dobro utemeljen, in ni vprašanje dopustnosti.
6. The acquisition in good faith of the earlier national mark is presumed.
Domneva se, da je bila prejšnja nacionalna znamka pridobljena v dobri veri.
This means that, if good faith is questioned, the other party to the proceedings (the applicant for the opposed EUTM application in the case of Article 209(4) EUTMR or the owner of the registered EUTM in the case of Article 209(5) EUTMR) must prove that the owner of the earlier national right obtained in a new Member State acted in bad faith when filing the national application or otherwise acquiring the right.
To pomeni, da mora druga stranka v postopku (prijavitelj pri prijavi blagovne znamke EU, zoper katero je vložen ugovor, v primeru člena 209(4) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU ali imetnik registrirane blagovne znamke EU v primeru člena 209(5) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU), če obstaja dvom o dobri veri, dokazati, da je imetnik prejšnje nacionalne pravice, pridobljene v novi državi članici, ravnal v slabi veri, ko je vložil nacionalno prijavo ali kako drugače pridobil to pravico.
7. Article 209 EUTMR does not contain any transitional provisions concerning the use requirement (Articles 18 and 47 EUTMR).
Člen 209 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU ne vsebuje prehodnih določb v zvezi z zahtevo po uporabi (člena 18 in 47 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU).
In opposition proceedings, the obligation to make genuine use of the mark arises when the applicant for the opposed EUTM application requests that the opponent prove use of the earlier mark pursuant to Article 47(2) and (3) EUTMR and Article 10 EUTMDR.
Med postopkom ugovora se pojavi obveznost resne in dejanske uporabe znamke, če prijavitelj pri prijavi blagovne znamke EU, zoper katero je vložen ugovor, zahteva, naj vložnik ugovora dokaže uporabo prejšnje znamke v skladu s členom 47(2) in (3) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU in členom 10 Delegirane uredbe.
Issues relating to enlargement could arise regarding the time and place of use of the earlier mark.
Težave v zvezi s širitvijo se lahko pojavijo glede časa in kraja uporabe prejšnje znamke.
Two cases can be distinguished.
Ločiti je mogoče dva primera.
The earlier mark is a national mark registered in a new Member State
Prejšnja znamka je nacionalna znamka, registrirana v novi državi članici
In this case, the opponent must prove genuine use of the earlier mark.
V tem primeru mora vložnik ugovora dokazati resno in dejansko uporabo prejšnje znamke.
This situation can only arise in the context of an opposition directed either against an EUTM application with a filing date after the date of accession or against an EUTM application filed within the period of 6 months preceding the date of accession.
Te okoliščine lahko nastanejo le v okviru ugovora zoper prijavo blagovne znamke EU, vloženo po datumu pristopa, ali zoper prijavo blagovne znamke EU, vloženo v šestih mesecih pred datumom pristopa.
The earlier national mark must have been put to genuine use in the territory in which it is protected during the 5 years preceding the date of publication of the opposed EUTM application.
Prejšnja nacionalna znamka se je morala pet let pred datumom objave prijave blagovne znamke EU, zoper katero je vložen ugovor, resno in dejansko uporabljati na ozemlju, kjer je zaščitena.
In this regard, it is immaterial whether the use relates to a period during which the State concerned was already a Member State of the European Union.
S tega vidika ni pomembno, ali se uporaba nanaša na obdobje, ko je zadevna država že bila država članica Evropske unije.
In other words, the proof of use may also relate to a period prior to the date of accession (in the case of Croatia before 01/07/2013).
Z drugimi besedami, dokaz o uporabi se lahko nanaša tudi na obdobje pred datumom pristopa (v primeru Hrvaške pred 1. julijem 2013).
The earlier mark is an EUTM
Prejšnja znamka je blagovna znamka EU
Where the owner of the earlier EUTM can prove use only in the territory of a new Member State or several new Member States, since the obligation of use relates to the period of 5 years preceding the date of publication of the opposed EUTM application, use in a new Member State (or several new Member States) can only be taken into account if the State concerned was a Member State of the European Union at the date of publication of the opposed EUTM application (Article 47(2) EUTMR requires use ‘in the Union').
Ker se obveznost uporabe nanaša na petletno obdobje pred datumom objave prijave blagovne znamko EU, zoper katero je vložen ugovor, se lahko uporaba v novi državi članici (ali več novih državah članicah), kadar lahko imetnik prejšnje blagovne znamke EU dokaže uporabo samo na ozemlju nove države članice ali več novih držav članic, upošteva le, če je bila zadevna država na dan objave prijave blagovne znamke EU, zoper katero je vložen ugovor (na podlagi člena 47(2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU se zahteva „uporaba v Uniji“), država članica Evropske unije.
Before their accession dates, the new States do not constitute ‘Member States of the Union'; therefore, it is not possible to prove use ‘in the Union'.
Zadevne države pred datumom pristopa še niso države članice Unije, zato ni mogoče dokazati uporabe v Uniji.
Therefore, the 5-year period should be counted only from the relevant date of accession.
Zato se lahko petletno obdobje šteje le od zadevnega datuma pristopa.
8. There are no particular transitional problems relating to the opposition proceedings.
Trenutno ni posebnih težav pri prehodu glede postopkov ugovora.
The right pursuant to Article 146(8) EUTMR to choose a language that is not one of the five languages of the Office as the language of the proceedings applies as from the date of accession in respect of the other official languages of the European Union.
Pravica iz člena 146(8) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU, da se za jezik postopka izbere drug uradni jezik, ki ni eden izmed petih uradnih jezikov Urada, velja za druge uradne jezike Evropske unije od datuma pristopa.
