Where a mark is composed of several elements, only one or some of which are distinctive and have rendered the mark as a whole registrable, an alteration of that distinctive element(s) or its omission or replacement by another element will generally mean that the distinctive character is altered.
Če je blagovna znamka sestavljena iz več elementov, od katerih je le eden razlikovalen ali pa jih je razlikovalnih več in tako omogočajo, da je mogoče znamko kot celoto registrirati, bo sprememba navedenega razlikovalnega elementa oziroma več takšnih elementov ali njegova (njihova) opustitev ali nadomestitev z drugim elementom na splošno pomenila, da je razlikovalni značaj spremenjen.
In order to determine whether the use of a variation of the mark should be accepted or whether the distinctive character is altered, account must be taken of the practices in the branch of business or trade concerned and the relevant public.
Za opredelitev, ali je treba uporabo različice znamke sprejeti in ali je razlikovalni značaj spremenjen, je treba upoštevati prakse v zadevni veji poslovne dejavnosti ali pri trgovanju in upoštevni javnosti.
The following paragraphs contain a number of practical guidelines for assessing whether additions (paragraph 2.7.3.1), omissions (paragraph 2.7.3.2) and alterations in the form of the sign as used (paragraph 2.7.3.3) alter the distinctive character of the registered trade mark.
Naslednji razdelki vsebujejo več praktičnih smernic za presojo, ali dodatki (odstavek 2.7.3.1), opustitve (odstavek 2.7.3.2) in spremembe v zvezi z obliko znaka, kot se uporablja (odstavek 2.7.3.3), spreminjajo razlikovalni značaj registrirane blagovne znamke.
2.7.3.1 Additions
Dodatki
As indicated above, with regard to additions, (i) several signs may be used simultaneously without altering the distinctive character of the registered sign and (ii) if the addition is non-distinctive or weak and/or not dominant, it does not alter the distinctive character of the registered trade mark.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, je mogoče v zvezi z dodatki (i) uporabljati več znakov hkrati brez spremembe razlikovalnega značaja registriranega znaka, in (ii) če je dodatek nerazlikovalen, šibek in/ali ni prevladujoč, ne spreminja razlikovalnega značaja registrirane blagovne znamke.
The following paragraphs provide examples of these two types of scenarios:
V naslednjih odstavkih so ponazorjeni primeri teh treh vrst možnosti:
use of several signs simultaneously;
hkratna uporaba več znakov,
additions of other verbal elements;
dodani drugi besedni elementi,
additions of figurative elements.
dodani figurativni elementi.
Use of several marks or signs simultaneously
Hkratna uporaba več blagovnih znamk ali znakov
It is quite common in some market areas for goods and services to bear not only their individual mark, but also the mark of the business or product group (‘house mark').
Na nekaterih tržnih področjih je zelo običajno, da so blago in storitve opremljeni z individualno znamko in znamko skupine podjetij ali proizvodov (v nadaljnjem besedilu: krovna znamka).
In these cases, the registered mark is not used in a different form, but the two independent marks are validly used at the same time.
V teh primerih se registrirana znamka ne uporablja v drugačni obliki, temveč se neodvisni znamki veljavno uporabljata hkrati.
There is no legal precept in the European Union trade mark system that obliges the opponent to provide evidence of the earlier mark alone when genuine use is required within the meaning of Article 47 EUTMR.
V sistemu blagovne znamke Evropske unije ni pravnega predpisa, v skladu s katerim bi moral vložnik ugovora zagotoviti dokaze le za prejšnjo znamko, kadar se zahteva resna in dejanska uporaba v smislu člena 47 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU.
Two or more trade marks may be used together in an autonomous way, or with the company name, without altering the distinctive character of the earlier registered trade mark (06/11/2014, T463/12, MB, EU:T:2014:935, § 43).
Dve blagovni znamki ali več je mogoče uporabljati skupaj samostojno, skupaj z imenom podjetja ali brez njega, ne da bi se spremenil razlikovalni značaj prejšnje registrirane blagovne znamke (06/11/2014, T463/12, MB, EU:T:2014:935, § 43).
It is common practice in the trade to depict independent marks in different sizes and typeface, so these clear differences, which emphasise the house mark, indicate that two different marks are being used jointly but autonomously (07/08/2014, R 1880/20131, HEALTHPRESSO / PRESSO, § 42).
Običajna praksa v gospodarskem prometu je, da so neodvisne znamke prikazane v različnih velikostih in pisavi, zato te jasne razlike, ki poudarjajo krovno znamko, kažejo, da se različni znamki uporabljata skupaj, vendar neodvisno (07/08/2014, R 1880/20131, HEALTHPRESSO / PRESSO, § 42).
The Court has confirmed that the condition of genuine use of a registered trade mark may be satisfied both where it has been used as part of another composite mark or where it is used in conjunction with another mark, even if the combination of marks is itself registered as a trade mark (18/04/2013, C12/12, Colloseum Holding, EU:C:2013:253, § 36.).
Sodišče je potrdilo, da je lahko pogoj resne in dejanske uporabe blagovne znamke izpolnjen, kadar se registrirana znamka uporablja kot del druge sestavljene znamke ali kadar se uporablja le skupaj z drugo znamko, tudi če je sama kombinacija teh znamk registrirana kot blagovna znamka (18/04/2013, C12/12, Colloseum Holding, EU:C:2013:253, § 36).
Similarly, the Court has clarified that use can be genuine where a figurative mark is used in conjunction with a word mark superimposed over it, even if the combination of those two marks is itself registered, to the extent that the differences between the form in which that trade mark is used and that in which it was registered do not change the distinctive character of that trade mark as registered (18/07/2013, C252/12, Specsavers, EU:C:2013:497, § 31).
Sodišče je podobno pojasnilo, da je uporaba lahko resna in dejanska, kadar se figurativna znamka uporablja v kombinaciji z besedno znamko, ki prekriva figurativno znamko, tudi če je kombinacija obeh znamk tudi sama registrirana, kolikor razlike med obliko, v kateri se navedena blagovna znamka uporablja, in obliko, v kateri je bila registrirana, ne spremenijo razlikovalnega značaja navedene blagovne znamke, kakor je bila registrirana (18/07/2013, C252/12, Specsavers, EU:C:2013:497, § 31).
It is up to the opponent to provide evidence that the additional sign is in fact an independent mark or sign, which refers, for instance, to the company mark, the manufacturer, etc.
Vendar mora vložnik ugovora predložiti dokaze, da je dodatni znak dejansko neodvisna znamka ali znak, ki se na primer nanaša na znak podjetja, proizvajalca itd.
On the other hand, doubt could be cast on the genuineness of use in cases where the registered mark, when used together with another mark is perceived as a mere decorative element.
Po drugi strani bi lahko bila resna in dejanska uporaba vprašljiva, kadar se registrirana znamka, ki se uporablja z drugo znamko, dojema le kot okrasni element.
Addition of other verbal elements
Dodani drugi besedni elementi
In principle, a difference in words or even letters constitutes an alteration of the distinctive character of the mark.
Razlika v besedah ali celo črkah načeloma pomeni spremembo razlikovalnega značaja znamke.
However, in the following three paragraphs a number of situations are described where additions are acceptable.
Vendar je v naslednjih treh odstavkih opisanih več primerov, kadar so dodatki sprejemljivi.
The fourth paragraph provides examples of unacceptable additions.
V četrtem odstavku so na voljo primeri nesprejemljivih dodatkov.
Addition of non-dominant elements
Dodani neprevladujoči elementi
Additions with generic or descriptive meaning
Dodatki s splošnim ali opisnim pomenom
Use of a registered word mark (or any other mark) together with a generic indication of the product or descriptive term will be considered as use of the registered mark.
Uporaba registrirane besedne znamke (ali katere druge znamke) skupaj s splošno navedbo proizvoda ali opisnega izraza se bo štela za uporabo registrirane znamke.
Additions that are just indications of characteristics of the goods and services, such as their kind, quality, quantity, intended purpose, value, geographical origin or the time of production of the goods or of rendering of the services, do not in general constitute use of a variant but use of the mark itself.
Dodatki, ki so le navedbe značilnosti blaga in storitev, kot so njihova vrsta, kakovost, količina, namen, vrednost, geografsko poreklo ali čas proizvodnje blaga ali opravljenih storitev, na splošno ne pomenijo uporabe različice, temveč uporabo znamke.
Other acceptable additions
Drugi sprejemljivi dodatki
The addition of insignificant elements such as punctuation marks does not alter distinctive character:
Dodani nepomembni elementi, kot so ločila, ne spremenijo razlikovalnega značaja:
The addition of the ‘type of enterprise' is also acceptable:
Sprejemljivo je tudi dodajanje vrste podjetja:
Unacceptable additions
Nesprejemljivi dodatki
Addition of figurative elements
Dodani figurativni elementi
In cases where the figurative element plays only a minor role, being merely decorative, the distinctive character of the sign as registered is not affected.
Kadar ima figurativni element le manjšo vlogo in je le okrasen, razlikovalni značaj znaka, kot je bil registriran, ni spremenjen.
2.7.3.2 Omissions
Opustitve
When considering ‘omissions' of elements of a mark in its used form, care has to be taken to check that the distinctive character of the mark has not been altered.
Pri obravnavi opustitev elementov znamke v njeni uporabljeni obliki se je treba skrbno prepričati, da ni bil spremenjen razlikovalni značaj znamke.
If the omitted element is in a secondary position and not distinctive, its omission does not alter the mark (24/11/2005, T135/04, Online Bus, EU:T:2005:419).
Če ima opuščeni element podrejen položaj in ni razlikovalen, njegova opustitev ne spremeni znamke (24/11/2005, T135/04, Online Bus, EU:T:2005:419).
Omissions of non-dominant elements
Opustitve neprevladujočih elementov
Omissions of generic or descriptive elements
Opustitve splošnih ali opisnih elementov
Where a registered mark contains a generic indication of the product or descriptive term, and this term is omitted in the used form of the sign, such use will be considered as use of the registered mark.
Če registrirana znamka vključuje splošno navedbo proizvoda ali opisni izraz in se ta izraz v uporabljeni obliki znaka opusti, se bo takšna uporaba štela za uporabo registrirane znamke.
Omissions that are just indications of characteristics of the goods and services, such as their kind, quality, quantity, intended purpose, value, geographical origin or the time of production of the goods or of rendering of the services, in general constitute use of an acceptable variant.
Opustitve, ki so le navedbe značilnosti blaga in storitev, kot so njihova vrsta, kakovost, količina, namen, vrednost, geografsko poreklo ali čas proizvodnje blaga ali opravljenih storitev, na splošno pomenijo uporabo sprejemljive različice.
Other acceptable omissions
Druge sprejemljive opustitve
The omission of insignificant prepositions does not alter the distinctive character:
Opustitev nepomembnih predlogov ne spremeni razlikovalnega značaja:
There are instances where the earlier sign is composed of a distinctive verbal element (or several) and a figurative element (or several), with the latter perceived by the relevant public as banal.
Obstajajo primeri, v katerih je prejšnji znak sestavljen iz besednega razlikovalnega elementa (ali iz več takšnih elementov) in figurativnega elementa (ali iz več takšnih elementov), pri čemer upoštevna javnost zadnjenavedeni znak zaznava kot vsakdanjega.
Such banal elements are considered non-distinctive, and their omission does not change the distinctive character of the sign.
Takšni vsakdanji elementi se štejejo za nerazlikovalne, njihova opustitev pa ne spremeni razlikovalnega značaja znaka.
Therefore, it is important to establish which elements influence the distinctive character of the mark and how consumers will perceive them.
Zato je treba opredeliti, kateri elementi vplivajo na razlikovalni značaj znamke in kako jih bodo zaznavali potrošniki.
The omission of the transliteration of a term is generally considered as an acceptable alteration.
Opustitev prečrkovanja izraza se na splošno šteje za sprejemljivo spremembo.
Unacceptable omissions
Nesprejemljive opustitve
In cases where the figurative element is the dominant or distinctive element and not merely decorative or banal, its omission can alter the distinctive character of the sign.
Kadar je figurativni element prevladujoč ali razlikovalen in ne le okrasen ali vsakdanji, lahko njegova opustitev spremeni razlikovalni značaj znaka.
2.7.3.3 Other alterations
Druge spremembe
Acceptable alterations
Sprejemljive spremembe
Word marks
Besedne znamke
Word marks are considered used as registered regardless of typeface, use of upper/lower case or colour.
Šteje se, da se besedne znamke uporabljajo, kot so bile registrirane, ne glede na pisavo, uporabo velikih/malih črk ali barvo.
It would not be correct to analyse this type of use from the perspective of whether distinctive character is altered.
Analiza tovrstne uporabe z vidika spremembe razlikovalnega značaja ne bi bila primerna.
However, a very particular typeface (highly stylised) may lead to a different conclusion.
Vendar lahko zelo posebna pisava (zelo stilizirana) privede do drugačne ugotovitve.
Changing the letter size or switching between upper/lower case is customary when using word marks.
Pri uporabi besednih znamk je običajno spreminjati velikost črk ali izmenično uporabljati velike in male črke.
Therefore, such use is considered use of the registered mark.
Zato se takšna uporaba upošteva kot uporaba registrirane znamke.
Word marks are registered in black and white.
Besedne znamke so registrirane v črni in beli barvi.
It is customary to use marks in colour.
Običajno je, da se znamke uporabljajo v barvah.
Such use does not constitute a variant but use of the registered mark.
Takšna uporaba ne pomeni uporabe različice, temveč uporabo registrirane znamke.
Figurative marks
Figurativne znamke
Using a purely figurative mark (without word elements) in a form other than registered often constitutes an unacceptable alteration.
Uporaba le figurativne znamke (brez besednih elementov) v obliki, ki ni registrirana oblika, na splošno pomeni nesprejemljivo spremembo.
In the case of composite marks (i.e. marks composed of word and figurative elements), changes to certain figurative elements do not normally affect the distinctive character of the marks.
V primeru sestavljenih znamk (tj. znamk, sestavljenih iz besednih in figurativnih elementov), spremembe nekaterih figurativnih elementov običajno ne vplivajo na razlikovalni značaj znamk.
This is particularly relevant in cases where the figurative element is mainly descriptive of the relevant goods and services.
To je še zlasti pomembno v primerih, kadar figurativni element predvsem opisuje zadevno blago in storitve.
This is also the case where the dominant elements remain unchanged (24/11/2005, T135/04, Online Bus, EU:T:2005:419 above).
To velja tudi, če prevladujoči elementi ostanejo nespremenjeni (zgoraj navedena sodba 24/11/2005, T135/04, Online Bus, EU:T:2005:419).
For alterations in colour specifically, the main question that needs to be addressed is whether the mark as used alters the distinctive character of the registered mark, that is to say whether use of the mark in colour, while being registered in black and white or greyscale (and vice versa) constitutes an alteration of the registered form.
Kar zadeva konkretno barvne spremembe, je glavno vprašanje, ki ga je treba obravnavati, ali znamka, kot se uporablja, spreminja razlikovalni značaj registrirane znamke, in sicer ali uporaba znamke v barvah, čeprav je registrirana v črno-beli barvi ali sivinah (in obratno), pomeni spremembo registrirane oblike.
The Office and a number of IP offices of the European Union have agreed on a common practice under the European Trade Mark and Designs Network, whereby a change only in colour does not alter the distinctive character of the trade mark as long as:
Urad in številni uradi za intelektualno lastnino iz Evropske unije so v okviru Evropske mreže blagovnih znamk in modelov sprejeli skupno prakso, v skladu s katero sprememba le barve ne spreminja razlikovalnega značaja blagovne znamke, če:
the word/figurative elements coincide and are the main distinctive elements;
se besedni/figurativni elementi skladajo in so glavni razlikovalni elementi,
the contrast of shades is respected;
je upoštevan kontrast senc,
the colour or combination of colours does not have distinctive character in itself;
barva ali kombinacija barv sama po sebi nima razlikovalnega značaja,
the colour is not one of the main contributors to the overall distinctiveness of the sign.
barva ni eden od dejavnikov, ki pomembno prispevajo k splošnemu razlikovalnemu učinku znaka.
3D marks
Tridimenzionalne znamke
The use of a 3D mark in varying sizes usually amounts to use of the mark as registered.
Uporaba tridimenzionalne znamke v različnih velikostih pomeni uporabo znamke, kot je bila registrirana.
The addition of a word/figurative element to such a mark does not generally alter the distinctive character of the sign.
Besedni/figurativni element, ki je dodan k takšni znamki, na splošno ne spremeni razlikovalnega značaja znaka.
Colour marks
Barvne znamke
Colour marks are marks consisting of one or more colours.
Barvne znamke so znamke, ki zajemajo eno ali več barv.
Where the mark is a colour combination, the registration must indicate the proportion of each colour and specify how they will appear.
Če je znamka barvna kombinacija, je treba v registraciji navesti delež vsake barve in podrobno opredeliti, kako bodo prikazane.
Colour marks must be used with the colours as registered.
Barvne znamke je treba uporabljati z barvami, ki so bile registrirane.
Insignificant variations in the colour shade and strength will not alter distinctive character.
Nepomembne razlike v odtenku in intenzivnosti barv ne bodo spremenile razlikovalnega značaja.
Where a colour combination is registered without specifying the respective proportions, use in varying proportions will not affect distinctive character.
Če je barvna kombinacija registrirana brez podrobne opredelitve zadevnih deležev, uporaba v različnih razmerjih ne bo vplivala na razlikovalni značaj.
The case is different when particular proportions were claimed and these are substantially altered in the variant as used.
To ne velja, če so bili opredeljeni posebni deleži, ki so bili bistveno spremenjeni v različici, ki se uporablja.
Where a colour or colour combination is registered, use in combination with a distinctive or descriptive word will not affect distinctive character.
Če je registrirana barva ali barvna kombinacija, uporaba v kombinaciji z razlikovalno ali opisno besedo ne bo vplivala na razlikovalni značaj.
See, by analogy, the Court judgment below regarding the proof of acquired distinctiveness of a mark (examination).
Glej po analogiji v nadaljevanju navedeno sodbo Sodišča v zvezi z dokazom o pridobljenem razlikovalnem učinku znamke (preizkus).
Unacceptable alterations
Nesprejemljive spremembe
Where a mark is composed of several elements, only one or some of which are distinctive, that have rendered the mark as a whole registrable, an alteration of that element or its omission or replacement by another element will generally mean that the distinctive character is altered.
Če je znamka sestavljena iz več elementov, od katerih je le eden razlikovalen ali pa jih je razlikovalnih več in tako omogočajo, da je mogoče znamko kot celoto registrirati, bo sprememba navedenega elementa ali njegova opustitev ali nadomestitev z drugim elementom na splošno pomenila, da je razlikovalni značaj spremenjen.
2.8 Use for the goods or services for which the mark is registered
Uporaba za blago ali storitve, za katere je znamka registrirana
In accordance with Article 18 EUTMR, the mark must be used for the goods or services for which it is registered in order to be enforceable.
V skladu s členom 18 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU je treba znamko, da bi bila zaščitena, uporabljati za blago ali storitve, za katere je registrirana.
In accordance with the first sentence of Article 47(2) EUTMR, the earlier registered mark must have been put to genuine use in connection with the goods or services in respect of which it is registered and which the opponent cites as justification for its opposition.
V skladu s prvim stavkom člena 47(2) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU se je morala prejšnja registrirana znamka resno in dejansko uporabljati za blago ali storitve, za katere je registrirana in ki jih vložnik ugovora navaja kot razlog za ugovor.
As the General Court stated in the Aladin case:
Dejansko določbe člena 43 Uredbe št.
The provisions of Article 43 of Regulation No 40/94 [now Article 47 EUTMR] allowing an earlier trade mark to be deemed to be registered only in relation to the part of the goods or services in respect of which genuine use of the mark has been established (i) are a limitation on the rights which the proprietor of the earlier trade mark gains from his registration …, and (ii) must be reconciled with the legitimate interest of the proprietor in being able in the future to extend his range of goods or services, within the confines of the terms describing the goods or services for which the trade mark was registered, by using the protection which registration of the trade mark confers on him.
40/94 [zdaj člen 47 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU] s tem, da dopuščajo, da se prejšnja znamka upošteva kot registrirana samo za del proizvodov in storitev, za katere je bila dokazana resna in dejanska uporaba znamke, po eni strani omejujejo pravice, ki jih ima imetnik prejšnje znamke na podlagi njene registracije, […] po drugi strani pa morajo biti usklajene z legitimnim interesom, do katerega ima navedeni imetnik pravico, da v bodoče razširi svoj obseg proizvodov ali storitev v mejah pojmov, ki določajo proizvode ali storitve, za katere je bila blagovna znamka registrirana, s tem da je deležen varstva, ki mu ga podeljuje registracija navedene blagovne znamke.
That is particularly so when, as here, the goods and services for which the trade mark has been registered form a sufficiently narrowly-defined category.
To toliko bolj velja za primer, kadar, kot v obravnavani zadevi, proizvodi in storitve, za katere je bila znamka registrirana, sestavljajo dovolj omejeno [kategorijo]
(14/07/2005, T126/03, Aladin, EU:T:2005:288, § 51, emphasis added.)
(14/07/2005, T126/03, Aladin, EU:T:2005:288, § 51, dodan poudarek).
The analysis of genuine use must in principle extend to all of the registered goods and/or services on which the opposition is based and for which the EUTM applicant has made an explicit request for proof of use.
Analiza resne in dejanske uporabe mora načeloma zajemati vse registrirano blago in/ali storitve, na katerih temelji ugovor in za katere je prijavitelj blagovne znamke EU vložil izrecno zahtevo za dokaz o uporabi.
However, in situations where it is clear that likelihood of confusion can be established on the basis of some of the earlier goods and/or services, the Office's analysis of genuine use need not extend to all the earlier goods and/or services but instead may focus on only those goods and/or services sufficient for establishing identity/similarity to the contested goods and/or services.
Kadar pa je jasno, da je mogoče verjetnost zmede opredeliti na podlagi nekaterega prejšnjega blaga in/ali storitev, ni potrebno, da analiza Urada glede resne in dejanske uporabe zajema vse prejšnje blago in/ali storitve, temveč je lahko osredotočena samo na tisto blago in/ali storitve, ki zadostujejo za ugotovitev enakosti/podobnosti z izpodbijanim blagom in/ali storitvami.
