Low turnover and sales, in absolute terms, of a medium- or low-priced product might support the conclusion that use of the trade mark in question is not genuine. 
Majhen obseg prometa in prodaje proizvoda srednjega ali nizkega cenovnega razreda, izražen v absolutni vrednosti, bi lahko podpiral sklepno ugotovitev, da uporaba zadevne blagovne znamke ni resna in dejanska.
However, with regard to expensive goods or an exclusive market, low turnover figures can be sufficient (04/09/2007, R 35/20072, DINKY, § 22). 
Vendar lahko v zvezi z dragim blagom ali ekskluzivnim trgom zadostujejo podatki o majhnem obsegu prometa (04/09/2007, R 35/20072, DINKY, § 22).
It is, therefore, always necessary to take the characteristics of the market in question into account (08/07/2004, T334/01, Hipoviton, EU:T:2004:223, § 51). 
Zato je treba vedno upoštevati značilnosti zadevnega trga (08/07/2004, T334/01, Hipoviton, EU:T:2004:223, § 51).
A de minimis rule cannot be laid down. 
Pravila de minimis ni mogoče določiti.
Use of the mark by a single client, which imports the products for which the mark is registered, can be sufficient to demonstrate that such use is genuine if it appears that the import operation has a genuine commercial justification for the proprietor of the mark (27/01/2004, C259/02, Laboratoire de la mer, EU:C:2004:50, § 24 et seq.). 
Uporaba blagovne znamke s strani ene stranke, ki uvaža blago, za katero je znamka registrirana, lahko zadostuje za dokaz, da je takšna uporaba resna in dejanska, če se zdi, da je dejavnost uvoza za imetnika blagovne znamke pristen poslovni razlog (27/01/2004, C259/02, Laboratoire de la mer, EU:C:2004:50, § 24 et seq.).
Genuine use is not excluded only because all use involves the same customer, as long as the trade mark is used publicly and outwardly and not solely within the undertaking that owns the earlier trade mark or within a distribution network owned or controlled by that undertaking (08/07/2004, T203/02, Vitafruit, EU:T:2004:225, § 50; 08/10/2014, T300/12, Fairglobe, EU:T:2014:864, § 36). 
Resna in dejanska uporaba ni izključena le zato, ker vsa uporaba vključuje isto stranko, če se blagovna znamka uporablja javno in zunanje, in ne le v podjetju, ki je imetnik prejšnje znamke, ali v distribucijskem omrežju, ki ga ima to podjetje v lasti ali ga nadzira (08/07/2004, T203/02, Vitafruit, EU:T:2004:225, § 50; 08/10/2014, T300/12, Fairglobe, EU:T:2014:864, § 36).
The smaller the commercial volume of the exploitation of the mark, the more necessary it is for the opposing party to produce additional evidence to dispel any doubts as to its genuineness (08/07/2004, T334/01, Hipoviton, EU:T:2004:223, § 37). 
Vendar manjši ko je tržni obseg uporabe znamke, bolj se zahteva, da vložnik ugovora predloži dodatne dokaze za odpravo morebitnih dvomov glede resne in dejanske uporabe zadevne blagovne znamke (08/07/2004, T334/01, Hipoviton, EU:T:2004:223, § 37).
Concerning the ratio between the turnover generated by the sales of products under the earlier mark and the applicant's annual turnover, it should be noted that the degree of diversification of the activities of undertakings operating in one and the same market varies. 
V zvezi z razmerjem med prometom, ustvarjenim s prodajo proizvodov pod prejšnjo znamko, in letnim prometom tožeče stranke je treba opozoriti, da je stopnja razvejanosti dejavnosti podjetij, ki nastopajo na istem trgu, različna.
Moreover, the obligation to produce evidence of genuine use of an earlier trade mark is not designed to monitor the commercial strategy of an undertaking. 
Poleg tega obveznost predložitve dokazov o resni in dejanski uporabi prejšnje blagovne znamke ne pomeni spremljanja poslovne strategije podjetja.
It may be economically and objectively justified for an undertaking to market a product or a range of products even if their share in the annual turnover of the undertaking in question is minimal (08/07/2004, T334/01, Hipoviton, EU:T:2004:223, § 49). 
Morda je za podjetje gospodarsko in stvarno upravičeno, da trži proizvod ali raznovrstne proizvode, čeprav je njihov delež v letnem prometu zadevnega podjetja minimalen (08/07/2004, T334/01, Hipoviton, EU:T:2004:223, § 49).
Special circumstances, for example, lower sales figures during the initial marketing phase of a product, could be of relevance when assessing the genuineness of use (08/07/2004, T334/01, Hipoviton, EU:T:2004:223, § 53). 
Pri presoji resne in dejanske uporabe so lahko pomembne posebne okoliščine, na primer manjši obseg prodaje v začetni fazi trženja proizvoda (08/07/2004, T334/01, Hipoviton, EU:T:2004:223, § 53).
The initial phase of marketing a product may last more than a few months but it cannot be prolonged indefinitely (18/03/2015, T250/13, SMART WATER, EU:T:2015:160, § 54-55; confirmed 17/03/2016, C252/15 P, SMART WATER, EU:C:2016:178). 
Začetna faza trženja proizvoda lahko traja več kot nekaj mesecev, vendar je ni mogoče podaljševati v nedogled (18/03/2015, T250/13, SMART WATER, EU:T:2015:160, § 54-55; potrjena 17/03/2016, C252/15 P, SMART WATER, EU:C:2016:178).

2.7 Use of the mark in forms different from that registered 
Uporaba blagovne znamke v oblikah, ki se razlikujejo od registrirane oblike
2.7.1 Introduction 
Uvod
Article 18 EUTMR states that use of the mark in a form different from that registered still constitutes use of the trade mark as long as the differing elements do not alter the distinctive character of the trade mark, regardless of whether or not the trade mark in the form as used is also registered in the name of the proprietor. 
Člen 18 Uredbe o blagovni znamki EU določa, da uporaba znamke v obliki, ki se razlikuje od registrirane oblike, še vedno pomeni uporabo blagovne znamke, če elementi, ki so različni, ne spreminjajo razlikovalnega značaja blagovne znamke, ne glede na to, ali je blagovna znamka v obliki, v kateri se uporablja, tudi registrirana v imenu imetnika.
The purpose of this provision is to allow its proprietor to make variations in the sign that, without altering its distinctive character, enable it to be better adapted to the marketing and promotion requirements of the goods or services concerned (23/02/2006, T194/03, Bainbridge, EU:T:2006:65, § 50). 
Namen te določbe je imetniku blagovne znamke omogočiti, da naredi spremembe na znaku, ki brez spremenjenega razlikovalnega značaja omogočajo boljše prilagajanje zahtevam trženja in oglaševanja zadevnega blaga ali storitev (23/02/2006, T194/03, Bainbridge, EU:T:2006:65, § 50).
The General Court further mentioned that strict conformity between the sign as used and the sign registered is not necessary. 
Splošno sodišče je poleg tega navedlo, da ni potrebna stroga skladnost med obliko, v kateri se znak uporablja, in registrirano obliko znaka.
However, the difference must be in negligible elements and the signs as used and registered must be broadly equivalent (23/02/2006, T194/03, Bainbridge, EU:T:2006:65, § 50). 
Razlika mora biti v zanemarljivih elementih, znaki, kot se uporabljajo, in registrirani znaki pa morajo biti na splošno enaki (23/02/2006, T194/03, Bainbridge, EU:T:2006:65, § 50).
In order to decide whether the sign as used and the sign as registered are broadly equivalent, it must first be established what elements are negligible. 
Za opredelitev, ali sta znak, ki se uporablja, in registrirani znak na splošno enaka, je treba najprej določiti, kateri elementi so zanemarljivi.
The General Court has developed criteria for doing so in several judgments. 
Splošno sodišče je zadevna merila razvilo v več sodbah.
Paragraph 2.7.2 will deal with these criteria. 
Ta merila bodo obravnavana v odstavku 2.7.2.
Paragraph 2.7.3 will describe Office practice in relation to the ‘variation' of marks, ‘additions' of elements to marks and ‘omissions' of elements of marks. 
V odstavku 2.7.3 bo opisana praksa Urada v zvezi z različicami znamk, dodatki elementov k znamkam in opustitvami elementov znamk.
2.7.2 Criteria of the Court 
Merila Sodišča
In brief, the test developed by the Court consists of first determining what the distinctive and dominant elements of the registered sign are and then verifying if they are also present in the sign as used. 
Na kratko, preizkus, ki ga je razvilo Sodišče, zajema najprej opredelitev, kateri so razlikovalni in prevladujoči elementi registriranega znaka, nato pa preverjanje, ali so prisotni tudi v znaku, kot se uporablja.
The General Court has held that: 
Splošno sodišče je menilo, da:
the assessment of the distinctive or dominant character of one or more components of a complex trade mark must be based on the intrinsic qualities of each of those components, as well as on the relative position of the different components within the arrangement of the trade mark (24/11/2005, T135/04, Online Bus, EU:T:2005:419, § 36). 
[…] je treba presojo o razlikovalnem in prevladujočem značaju enega ali več sestavnih delov sestavljene blagovne znamke utemeljiti z bistvenimi lastnostmi vsakega sestavnega dela in z relativnim položajem različnih sestavnih delov v sestavi blagovne znamke […] (24/11/2005, T135/04, Online Bus, EU:T:2005:419, § 36).
With regard to additions: 
V zvezi z dodatki je menilo:
several signs may be used simultaneously without altering the distinctive character of the registered sign (08/12/2005, T29/04, Cristal Castellblanch, EU:T:2005:438, § 34); 
hkrati je mogoče uporabljati več znakov, ne da bi ti spreminjali razlikovalni značaj registriranega znaka (08/12/2005, T29/04, Cristal Castellblanch, EU:T:2005:438, § 34);
if the addition is not distinctive, is weak and/or is not dominant, it does not alter the distinctive character of the registered trade mark (30/11/2009, T353/07, Coloris, EU:T:2009:475, § 2933 et seq.; 10/06/2010, T482/08, Atlas Transport, EU:T:2010:229, § 36 et seq.). 
če je dodatek nerazlikovalen, šibek in/ali ni prevladujoč, ne spreminja razlikovalnega značaja registrirane blagovne znamke (30/11/2009, T353/07, Coloris, EU:T:2009:475, § 2933 et seq.; 10/06/2010, T482/08, Atlas Transport, EU:T:2010:229, § 36 et seq.).
With regard to omissions: 
V zvezi z opustitvami pa je menilo:
if the omitted element is in a secondary position and not distinctive, its omission does not alter the distinctive character of the trade mark (24/11/2005, T135/04, Online Bus, EU:T:2005:419, § 37). 
če ima opuščeni element podrejen položaj in ni razlikovalen, njegova opustitev ne spreminja razlikovalnega značaja blagovne znamke (24/11/2005, T135/04, Online Bus, EU:T:2005:419, § 37).
2.7.3 Office practice 
Praksa Urada
In general, it has to be assessed whether use of the mark constitutes an acceptable or unacceptable ‘variation' of its registered form. 
Na splošno je treba presoditi, ali uporaba znamke pomeni sprejemljivo ali nesprejemljivo različico njene registrirane oblike.
Therefore, there are two questions to be answered. 
Zato je treba odgovoriti na dve vprašanji.
Firstly, it must be clarified what is to be regarded as the distinctive character of the mark as registered . 
Prvič, pojasniti je treba, kaj se bo upoštevalo kot razlikovalni značaj znamke, kot je registrirana.
Secondly, it must be evaluated whether the mark as used alters this distinctive character. 
Drugič, presoditi je treba, ali znamka, kot se uporablja, spreminja ta razlikovalni značaj.
These questions have to be answered on a case-by-case basis. 
Na ti vprašanji je treba odgovoriti za vsak primer posebej.
[6: See the Guidelines, Part C, Opposition, Section 2, Double Identity and Likelihood of Confusion, Chapter 4, Comparison of Signs.] 
[6: Glej Smernice, del C: Ugovor, razdelek 2: Dvojna enakost in verjetnost zmede, poglavje 4: Primerjava znakov.]
There is interdependence between the strength of the distinctive character of a mark and the effect of alterations. 
Moč razlikovalnega značaja znamke in učinek sprememb sta soodvisna.
Marks of strong distinctive character may be less influenced by changes than marks of limited distinctiveness. 
Na znamke z močnim razlikovalnim značajem bodo spremembe morda vplivale manj kot na znamke z omejenim razlikovalnim učinkom.
Adding elements to or omitting elements from the mark are more likely to affect the distinctive character of marks of limited distinctiveness. 
Dodajanje elementov znamki ali opustitev njenih elementov bosta verjetno bolj vplivala na razlikovalni značaj znamk, ki imajo omejen razlikovalni učinek.
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.
