natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
However, in some cases, for example, such as when the relevant goods or services are used by a given professional on a daily basis, the level of attention paid may be average or even low even in relation to those professional consumers.
V nekaterih primerih, na primer kadar neki strokovnjak zadevno blago ali storitve uporablja vsak dan, je njegova stopnja pozornosti lahko povprečna ali celo nizka, čeprav je strokovni potrošnik.
Properly defining the degree of attention of the relevant public is necessary, as this factor can weigh for or against a finding of a likelihood of confusion.
Stopnjo pozornosti upoštevne javnosti je treba ustrezno opredeliti, saj ima lahko ta dejavnik odločilno vlogo pri ugotavljanju verjetnosti zmede.
Whilst the relevant consumer only rarely has the chance to make a direct comparison between the different signs and must rely on an imperfect recollection of them, a high level of attention of the relevant consumer may lead to conclude that the relevant consumer will not confuse the marks, despite the lack of direct comparison between the trade marks (22/03/2011, T486/07, CA, EU:T:2011:104, § 95).
Čeprav upoštevni potrošnik le v redkih primerih lahko neposredno primerja različne znake in se mora zanašati na nepopoln spomin v zvezi z njimi, se lahko zaradi visoke stopnje pozornosti upoštevnega potrošnika ugotovi, da upoštevni potrošnik ne bo zamenjal blagovnih znamk, čeprav ni neposredne primerjave med blagovnimi znamkami (22/03/2011, T486/07, CA, EU:T:2011:104, § 95).
Therefore, the degree of attention will be established in the decision.
Stopnja pozornosti se zato določi v okviru odločbe.
However, a high degree of attention does not automatically lead to a finding of no likelihood of confusion.
Visoka stopnja pozornosti sama po sebi ne vodi do ugotovitve, da ni verjetnosti zmede.
All the other factors have to be taken into account (interdependence principle) (see the Guidelines, Part C, Opposition, Section 2, Double Identity and Likelihood of Confusion, Chapter 7, Global Assessment).
Treba je upoštevati še vse druge dejavnike (načelo medsebojne odvisnosti) (glej Smernice, del C: Ugovor, razdelek 2: Dvojna enakost in verjetnost zmede, poglavje 7: Celovita presoja).
For example, in view of the specialised nature of the relevant goods and/or services and the high degree of attention of the relevant public, likelihood of confusion may be ruled out (26/06/2008, T79/07, Polaris, EU:T:2008:230, § 50-51).
Na primer, glede na specializirano naravo zadevnega blaga in/ali storitev in visoko stopnjo pozornosti upoštevne javnosti se lahko verjetnost zmede izključi (26/06/2008, T79/07, Polaris, EU:T:2008:230, § 50-51).
However, a likelihood of confusion can exist despite a high degree of attention.
Verjetnost zmede lahko obstaja kljub visoki stopnji pozornosti.
For example, when there is a strong likelihood of confusion created by other factors, such as identity or close overall similarity of the marks and the identity of the goods, the attention of the relevant public alone cannot be relied upon to prevent confusion (21/11/2013, T443/12, ancotel, EU:T:2013:605, § 53-56; 06/09/2010, R 1419/20094, Hasi (fig.) / Hasen IMMOBILIEN).
Kadar je verjetnost zmede na primer velika zaradi drugih dejavnikov, kot sta enakost ali velika splošna podobnost znamk in enakost blaga, pri preprečevanju zmede ni mogoče računati le na pozornost upoštevne javnosti (21/11/2013, T443/12, ancotel, EU:T:2013:605, § 53-56; 06/09/2010, R 1419/20094, Hasi (fig.) / Hasen IMMOBILIEN).
3.1 Higher degree of attention
Višja stopnja pozornosti
A higher degree of attention is usually connected with the following types of purchases: expensive purchases, the purchase of potentially hazardous or technically sophisticated goods.
Višja stopnja pozornosti se navadno povezuje z dragimi nakupi in nakupi potencialno nevarnega ali tehnično dovršenega blaga.
The average consumer often seeks professional assistance or advice when choosing or buying certain types of goods and services (e.g. cars, pharmaceutical products).
Povprečni potrošnik pri izbiranju ali kupovanju nekaterih vrst blaga in storitev (npr. avtomobilov, farmacevtskih proizvodov) pogosto poišče strokovno pomoč ali svetovanje.
A higher degree of attention can also apply to goods when brand loyalty is important for the consumer.
Višja stopnja pozornosti je mogoča tudi pri blagu, pri katerem je za potrošnika pomembna zvestoba znamki.
3.1.1 Expensive purchases
Dragi nakupi
When purchasing expensive goods, the consumer will generally exercise a higher degree of care and will buy the goods only after careful consideration.
Potrošnik je pri kupovanju dragega blaga navadno bolj skrben in blago kupi šele po temeljitem premisleku.
Non-specialised or non-professional consumers often seek professional assistance or advice when choosing or buying certain types of goods and services.
Nespecializirani ali nestrokovni potrošniki pri izbiranju ali kupovanju nekaterih vrst blaga in storitev pogosto poiščejo strokovno pomoč ali svetovanje.
The attention may be enhanced in cases of luxury goods and where the specific product is regarded as reflecting the social status of its owner.
Bolj pozorni so lahko pri luksuznem blagu ali kadar velja, da neki proizvod izkazuje socialni status lastnika.
Cars.
Avtomobili.
Taking into consideration their price, consumers are likely to pay a higher degree of attention than for less expensive purchases.
Glede na njihovo ceno bodo potrošniki verjetno bolj pozorni kot pri cenejših nakupih.
It is to be expected that these consumers will not buy a car, either new or second-hand, in the same way as they would buy articles purchased on a daily basis.
Pričakuje se, da avtomobila, ne glede na to, ali je nov ali rabljen, ne bodo kupovali enako, kot kupujejo izdelke, ki jih nabavljajo vsak dan.
The consumer will be an informed one, taking all relevant factors into consideration, for example, price, consumption, insurance costs, personal needs or even prestige (22/03/2011, T486/07, CA, EU:T:2011:104, § 27-38; 21/03/2012, T63/09, Swift GTi, EU:T:2012:137, § 39-42).
Potrošnik bo obveščen in bo upošteval vse upoštevne dejavnike, na primer ceno, porabo, stroške zavarovanja, osebne potrebe in celo prestiž (22/03/2011, T486/07, CA, EU:T:2011:104, § 27-38; 21/03/2012, T63/09, Swift GTi, EU:T:2012:137, § 39-42).
Diamonds, precious and semi-precious stones.
Diamanti, dragi in poldragi kamni.
In its decision of 09/12/2010, R 900/20101, Leo Marco (fig.) / LEO, § 22, the Board held that consumers generally put a certain amount of thought into the selection of these goods.
Odbor je v odločbi z dne 09/12/2010, R 900/20101, Leo Marco (fig.) / LEO, § 22, menil, da potrošniki na splošno takšno blago izbirajo po razmisleku.
In many cases the goods will be luxury items or will be intended as gifts.
Blago je velikokrat luksuzno ali namenjeno za darilo.
A relatively high degree of attention on the part of the consumer may be assumed.
Zato lahko domnevamo, da potrošnik temu nameni razmeroma visoko stopnjo pozornosti.
Financial services.
Finančne storitve.
These services target the general public, which is reasonably well informed and reasonably observant and circumspect.
Te storitve so namenjene širši javnosti, ki je razmeroma dobro obveščena ter razumno pozorna in preudarna.
However, since such services are specialised services that may have important financial consequences for their users, the consumers' level of attention would be rather high when choosing them (03/02/2011, R 719/20101, f@ir Credit (fig.) / FERCREDIT, § 15) (appealed 19/09/2012, T220/11, F@ir Credit, EU:T:2012:444, dismissed; appealed 14/11/2013, C524/12 P, F@ir Credit, EU:C:2013:874, dismissed).
Ker so takšne storitve specializirane in imajo lahko pomembne finančne posledice za uporabnike, bo stopnja pozornosti potrošnikov pri njihovem izbiranju precej visoka (03/02/2011, R 719/20101, f@ir Credit (fig.) / FERCREDIT, § 15) (pritožba na 19/09/2012, T220/11, F@ir Credit, EU:T:2012:444, zavrnjena; pritožba na 14/11/2013, C524/12 P, F@ir Credit, EU:C:2013:874, zavrnjena).
In the overall impression combined by the signs at issue, the visual and conceptual differences between the signs are sufficient to outweigh their limited phonetic similarity, particularly since the relevant public is highly attentive and well informed (22/06/2010, T563/08, Carbon Capital Markets, EU:T:2010:251, § 33, 61).
V celotnem vtisu, ki ga ustvarjajo zadevni znaki, vidne in pojmovne razlike med njimi namreč zadostujejo, da se nevtralizira njihova omejena zvočna podobnost, zlasti ker je v obravnavanem primeru upoštevna javnost zelo pozorna in dobro obveščena (22/06/2010, T563/08, Carbon Capital Markets, EU:T:2010:251, § 33, 61).
Real estate services.
Nepremičninske storitve.
The purchase and sale of property are business transactions that involve both risk and the transfer of large sums of money.
Nakup in prodaja nepremičnin spadata med poslovne transakcije, ki vključujejo tveganje in prenos velikih vsot denarja.
For these reasons, the relevant consumer is deemed to possess a higher-than-average degree of attention, since the consequences of making a poor choice through lack of attentiveness might be highly damaging (17/02/2011, R 817/20102, FIRST THE REAL ESTATE (fig.) / FIRST MALLORCA (fig.) et al., § 21).
Zato se šteje, da ima upoštevni potrošnik nadpovprečno stopnjo pozornosti, saj bi slaba odločitev zaradi nizke pozornosti lahko imela zelo škodljive posledice (17/02/2011, R 817/20102, FIRST THE REAL ESTATE (fig.) / FIRST MALLORCA (fig.) et al., § 21).
3.1.2 Potentially hazardous purchases
Potencialno tvegani nakupi
The impact on safety of goods covered by a trade mark (e.g. lights for vehicles, saws, electric accumulators, electric circuit breakers, electric relays) may result in an increase in the relevant consumer's degree of attention (22/03/2011, T486/07, CA, EU:T:2011:104, § 41).
Zaradi vpliva blaga, ki ga zajema blagovna znamka (na primer luči za vozila, žage, električni akumulatorji, prekinjevalci električnega kroga, električni releji), na varnost, se lahko poveča stopnja pozornosti upoštevnega potrošnika (22/03/2011, T486/07, CA, EU:T:2011:104, § 41).
3.1.3 Brand loyalty
Zvestoba znamki
Furthermore, a higher degree of attention can be the consequence of brand loyalty.
Višja stopnja pozornosti je lahko tudi posledica zvestobe znamki.
Although tobacco products are relatively cheap articles for mass consumption, smokers are considered particularly careful and selective about the brand of cigarettes they smoke, so a higher degree of brand loyalty and attention is assumed when tobacco products are involved.
Čeprav so tobačni izdelki razmeroma poceni izdelki za široko potrošnjo, velja, da so kadilci posebno previdni in izbirčni glede znamke cigaret, ki jih kadijo, zato se šteje, da sta zvestoba znamki in pozornost pri tobačnih izdelkih višji.
Therefore, in the case of tobacco products a higher degree of similarity of signs may be required for confusion to occur.
Zato je lahko pri tobačnih izdelkih za obstoj zmede potrebna višja stopnja podobnosti znakov.
This has been confirmed by several Board decisions: 26/02/2010, R 1562/20082, victory slims (fig.) / VICTORIA et al., where it was stated that the consumers of Class 34 goods are generally very attentive and brand loyal, and 25/04/2006, R 61/20052, Granducato / DUCADOS et al.
To je bilo potrjeno v več odločbah odbora: v odločbi z dne 26/02/2010, R 1562/20082, victory slims (fig.) / VICTORIA et al. v kateri je bilo navedeno, da so potrošniki blaga iz razreda 34 na splošno zelo pozorni in zvesti znamki, in odločbi z dne 25/04/2006, R 61/20052, Granducato / DUCADOS et al.
3.1.4 Pharmaceuticals
Farmacevtski proizvodi
It is apparent from the case-law that, insofar as pharmaceutical preparations are concerned, the relevant public's degree of attention is relatively high, whether or not issued on prescription (15/12/2010, T331/09, Tolposan, EU:T:2010:520, § 26; 15/03/2012, T288/08, Zydus, EU:T:2012:124, § 36 and quoted case-law).
Iz sodne prakse je razvidno, da je stopnja pozornosti upoštevne javnosti pri farmacevtskih proizvodov razmeroma visoka, ne glede na to, ali so izdani na zdravniški recept ali ne (15/12/2010, T331/09, Tolposan, EU:T:2010:520, § 26; 15/03/2012, T288/08, Zydus, EU:T:2012:124, § 36 in navedena sodna praksa).
In particular, medical professionals have a high degree of attentiveness when prescribing medicines.
Zlasti zdravstveni delavci imajo visoko stopnjo pozornosti pri predpisovanju zdravil.
With regard to non-professionals, they also show a higher degree of attention, regardless of whether the pharmaceuticals are sold without prescription, as these goods affect their state of health.
Tudi nestrokovni potrošniki kažejo višjo stopnjo pozornosti, ne glede na to, ali se farmacevtski pripravki prodajajo z receptom ali brez njega, saj ti proizvodi vplivajo na njihovo zdravstveno stanje.
3.2 Lower degree of attention
Nižja stopnja pozornosti
A lower degree of attention can be associated, in particular, with habitual buying behaviour.
Nižjo stopnjo pozornosti je mogoče zlasti povezovati z nakupovanjem iz navade.
Purchase decisions in this area relate to, for example, inexpensive goods purchased on a daily basis (15/06/2010, T547/08, Strumpf, EU:T:2010:235, § 43).
Odločitve za nakup na tem področju se na primer nanašajo na poceni proizvode, ki se kupujejo vsak dan (15/06/2010, T547/08, Strumpf, EU:T:2010:235, § 43).

1 General Principles of the Trade Mark Comparison
Splošna načela primerjave blagovnih znamk
This chapter deals with the comparison of signs.
To poglavje obravnava primerjavo znakov.
The purpose of comparing signs is to determine if the signs are identical (see paragraph 2 below), similar (see paragraph 3 below), or dissimilar (see paragraph 4 below).
Znaka se primerjata zato, da se ugotovi, ali sta enaka (glej odstavek 2 v nadaljevanju), podobna (glej odstavek 3 v nadaljevanju) ali različna (glej odstavek 4 v nadaljevanju).
The identity of trade marks is a prerequisite for applying the provision of Article 8(1)(a) EUTMR (‘double identity').
Enakost blagovnih znamk je temeljni pogoj za uporabo določbe člena 8(1)(a) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU (dvojna enakost).
Goods or services also have to be identical.
Enako mora biti tudi blago ali storitve.
The similarity (or identity) of signs is a necessary condition for it to be found that there is a likelihood of confusion for the purposes of Article 8(1)(b) EUTMR (23/01/2014, C558/12 P, WESTERN GOLD / WeserGold et al., EU:C:2014:22, § 44).
Podobnost (ali enakost) znakov je potreben pogoj za ugotovitev verjetnosti zmede za namene člena 8(1)(b) Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU (23/01/2014, C 558/12 P, WESTERN GOLD / WeserGold et al., EU:C:2014:22, § 44).
If the signs are dissimilar, an examination of likelihood of confusion will stop at this point.
Če sta si znaka različna, se preizkus verjetnosti zmede konča na tej stopnji.
Whether a likelihood of confusion exists depends on an assessment of several interdependent factors, including (i) similarity of the goods and services, (ii) the relevant public, (iii) similarity of the signs, taking into account their distinctive and dominant elements and (iv) the distinctiveness of the earlier mark.
Verjetnost zmede je odvisna od presoje več medsebojno odvisnih dejavnikov, ki vključujejo (i) podobnost blaga in storitev, (ii) upoštevno javnost, (iii) podobnost znakov, pri čemer se upoštevajo razlikovalni in prevladujoči elementi, ter (iv) razlikovalni učinek prejšnje znamke.
If the signs are not identical (see paragraph 2 below) it must be determined whether they are similar or dissimilar.
Če znaka nista enaka (glej odstavek 2 v nadaljevanju), je treba določiti, ali sta podobna ali različna.
A global appreciation of the visual, aural or conceptual similarity of the marks in question must be based on the overall impression given by them, bearing in mind their distinctive and dominant components (11/11/1997, C251/95, Sabèl, EU:C:1997:528, § 23).
Celovita presoja vizualne, zvočne ali pojmovne podobnosti zadevnih blagovnih znamk mora temeljiti na celotnem vtisu, ki ga ti ustvarjata, pri čemer je treba upoštevati njune razlikovalne in prevladujoče elemente (11/11/1997, C 251/95, Sabèl, EU:C:1997:528, § 23).
