The Court observed that the Member States have the power to define broadcasting SGEIs in such away as to include broadcasting a wide range of programmes, whilst authorising the operator in charge of the SGEI to carry on commercial activities, such as the sale of advertising space.
Poleg tega je Sodišče prve stopnje v sodbi z dne 2. decembra 2008 v zadevi Harman International Industries proti UUNT – Becker (Barbara Becker) (T-212/07, še neobjavljena) presodilo, da kadar je besedna znamka sestavljena iz dveh sestavnih delov, od katerih en sam sestavlja prejšnjo besedno znamko, za ugotovitev verjetnosti zmede ni nujno, da je skupni sestavni del nasprotujočih si znamk prevladujoči del v celotnem vtisu sestavljene znamke.
If that were not the case, the very definition of the broadcasting SGEI would be dependent on its method of financing, whilst an SGEI, ex hypothesi, is defined in relation to the general interest which it is designed to satisfy and not in relation to the means which will ensure its provision.
Če bi se namreč tak pogoj zahteval, čeprav bi skupni del v sestavljeni znamki ohranil samostojni razlikovalni položaj, bi bil imetnik prejšnje znamke prikrajšan za izključno pravico, ki mu jo zagotavlja ta znamka.
The Commission must confine itself to finding that there is an independent monitoring mechanism at the national level, which was the case in this instance.
Nazadnje je Sodišče prve stopnje pojasnilo raven pozornosti povprečnega potrošnika ob nakupu poceni dela notranje opreme.
So far as concerns whether the funding was proportionate to the public service costs, the Court held that, by not asking the Portuguese Republic to send certain RTP audit reports, the Commission infringed its obligation to investigate. The Commission cannot omit to require the disclosure of information which appears likely to confirm or to refute other information which is relevant for the examination of the measure at issue, but whose reliability cannot be considered to be sufficiently established.
Ker se ta potrošnik odloči na podlagi več funkcionalnih in estetskih preudarkov, da bi ustvaril skladnost z drugimi elementi notranje opreme, ki jih že ima, je Sodišče prve stopnje v sodbi z dne 16. januarja 2008 v zadevi Inter-IKEA proti UUNT –Waibel (idea) (T-112/06, neobjavljena) presodilo, da čeprav se lahko nakup v ožjem smislu nekaterih kosov pohištva opravi hitro, je za postopek primerjave in razmišljanja pred odločitvijo per de ê niti o nem potrebna višja raven pozornosti.
The Court also stated, in TV 2/Danmark andOthers vCommission, that the broadcasting SGEI does not necessarily have to be limited to the broadcasting of non-profitable programming.
V sodbi z dne 10. septembra 2008 v zadevi Boston S ci en ti ê c proti UUNT – Terumo (CAPIO) (T-325/06, neobjavljena) je Sodišče prve stopnje presodilo, da se dokazna vrednost zneskov na seznamu prodaje proizvodov, za katere velja prejšnja znamka, in ki ga je imetnik prejšnje znamke predložil UUNT, lahko ugotovi tudi z drugimi sredstvi, ne samo z notarskim zapisom ali pisno izjavo iz člena 76(1) Uredbe št. 40/94 ali pravila 22 Uredbe (ES) št. 2868/9524.
The claim that TV2 , which has been entrusted with the (TV 2 ) SGEI, would inevitably be led to subsidise its commercial activity through the State funds received for the public service, was considered by the Court to refer at the very most to a risk which it was for the Member States to prevent and, where necessary, for the Commission to penalise.
Dejstvo, da so na seznamu nekateri elementi računov, ki ustrezajo tem prodajam, kaže na njegovo skladnost in resničnost.
Further, regarding the latitude left to TV2 by the Danish authorities as regards its actual programming choices, the Court held that it is not unusual for a public service broadcaster to enjoy editorial independence from political authority in the choice of its programmes, provided that it satisfies the qualitative requirements.
Poleg tega je iz izdaje računa razvidno, da se je prejšnja znamka uporabljala javno in v zunanjem okolju, ne samo znotraj podjetja, ki je imetnik znamke, ali v distribucijski mreži, ki jo ta ima ali nadzira.
(f) Aid designed to make good damage caused by exceptional occurrences
(b) Funkcionalna kontinuiteta
According to Article 87(2)(b) EC, aid granted to make good the damage caused by exceptional occurrences must be declared compatible with the common market.
Sodišče prve stopnje je uporabilo načela, določena v sodbi Sodišča z dne 13. marca 2007 v zadevi UUNT proti Kaul25, in v sodbi z dne 17. junija 2008 v zadevi El Corte Inglés proti
Following the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, the Commission adopted, on 10 October 2001, a communication (21) in which it considered that that provision could authorise compensation, inter alia, for the costs caused by the closure of American airspace from 11 to 14 September 2001.
UUNT – Abril Sánchez in Ricote Saugar (BOOMERANGTV) (T-420/03, še neobjavljena) pojasnilo, da čeprav odbor za pritožbeni dolžan upoštevati dejstev in dokazov, ki so bili prvič predloženi pred njim, je vendar treba preveriti, ali ni sto zavrnitvijo kršil člena 74(2) Uredbe št. 40/94, ker je menil, da nima nobenega pooblastila za odločanje po prostem preudarku.
The Court held that, although Article 87(2)(b) EC makes it possible to compensate only for damage caused directly by exceptional occurrences, the existence of a direct connection can be recognised even where the loss arises, as in this instance, shortly after the abovementioned period.
Sodišče prve stopnje je menilo, da je značilnost zadevnih dejstev in dokazov le eden od dejavnikov, ki jih lahko UUNT upošteva v okviru izvrševanja pooblastila za odločanje po prostem preudarku, ki ga ima.
Lastly, the 2008 case-law afforded the opportunity to clarify the obligations incumbent on the Commission when it adopts a second decision relating to State aid which has been the subject of a decision annulled by the Court.
Ker se je odbor za pritožbe oprl na dejstvo, da je tožeča stranka že imela možnost, da vse zadevne dokumente predloži pred oddelkom za ugovore, je implicitno menil, da zadevnih dokumentov glede na okoliščine obravnavanega primera ni mogoče upoštevati.
In Alitalia vCommission, the Court held that therewas no obligation on the Commission to reopen in such a case the formal investigation procedure, since the illegalities censured by the Court did not go back as far as the opening of the procedure.
Tako odbor za pritožbe dokumentov, ki jih je tožeča stranka prvič predložila pred njim, načeloma ni štel za nedopustne, ampak je svojo odločbo glede tega vprašanja obrazložil.
Decisions relating to the application of Regulation No 40/94 (22) continued to represent in 2008 a significant number (171) of the cases disposed of by the Court of First of Instance, although they accounted for a lower percentage of the total number of cases in comparison with 2007.
V sodbi z dne 8. julija 2008 v zadevi Lancômeproti UUNT –CMSHasche Sigle (COLOR EDITION) (T-160/07, še neobjavljena, v pritožbenem postopku) je Sodišče prve stopnje presodilo, da je iz strukture člena 55(1) Uredbe št. 40/94 razviden zakonodajalčev namen, da vsem ê z ič nim ali pravnim osebam in skupinam, ki imajo sposobnost biti stranka v postopku, omogoči vložiti zahteve za ugotovitev ničnosti, ki temeljijo na absolutnih razlogih za ničnost, ne da bi bilo treba izkazati pravni interes, v zvezi z zahtevami za ugotovitev ničnosti, ki temeljijo na relativnih razlogih za ničnost, pa je krog tistih, ki lahko zahtevajo ugotovitev ničnosti, izrecno omejil na imetnike znamk ali prejšnjih pravic in na imetnike licenc.
Absolute grounds for refusal of registration
(d) Obveznosti odborov za pritožbe
For the first time, in Case T-270/06 Lego Juris vOHIM—Mega Brands (Lego brick) (judgment of 12 November 2008), concerning invalidity proceedings, the Court ruled on the scope of the absolute ground for refusal provided for in Article 7(1)(e)(ii) of Regulation No 40/94, according to which signs which consist exclusively of the shape of goods which is necessary to obtain a technical result are not to be registered. The Court held that that provision precludes registration of any shape consisting exclusively, in its essential characteristics, of the shape of the goods which is technically causal of, and sufficient to obtain, the intended technical result, even if that result can be achieved by other shapes using the same or another technical solution.
Sodišče prve stopnje se je oprlo na stalno sodno prakso v zvezi z obveznostjo obrazložitve26 in v sodbi z dne 9. julija 2008 v zadevi Reber proti UUNT – Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli (Mozart) (T-304/06, še neobjavljena) potrdilo, da odbor za pritožbe v svoji odločbi na splošno ni dolžan podati posebnega odgovora na vsako trditev o tem, da obstajajo v drugih podobnih zadevah odločbe njegovih organov ali nacionalnih organov in sodišč, ki vodijo v določeno smer, če so iz obrazložitve odločbe, ki jo sprejme v konkretni zadevi, vsaj implicitno, vendar jasno in nedvoumno, razvidni razlogi, zakaj te druge odločbe niso ustrezne oziroma se ne upoštevajo pri njegovi presoji.
Those characteristics are to be determined objectively, on the basis of the graphic representation of the shape concerned and any descriptions filed at the time of the trademark application, and not on the basis of the perception of the target consumer.
V zgoraj navedeni sodbi COYOTE UGLY je Sodišče prve stopnje presodilo, da odbor za pritožbe, ko odkrije podobnost, čeprav le delno, med zadevnimi proizvodi in storitvami v okviru postopka z ugovorom, sicer lahko po uradni dolžnosti loči storitve, na katere se nanaša prijavljena znamka, in pri tem natančno navede enote, ki se ujemajo s prejšnjo znamko, vendar tega ni dolžan storiti.
In another case involving invalidity proceedings, the Court, in Case T-405/05 Powerserv Personalservice v OHIM—Manpower (MANPOWER) (judgment of 15October 2008, under appeal), defined the geographical area over which the relevant public might perceive as descriptive the sign constituted by the English word ‘manpower’.
Z Uredbo (ES) št. 2100/9427 je bil uveden sistem žlahtniteljskih pravic v Skupnosti, ki omogoča podelitev pravice industrijske lastnine za sorte rastlin, ki velja na celotnem ozemlju Skupnosti.
In that connection, it held that that may even be the case in non-English-speaking Member States, provided that, first, that English word has been received into the language of the country in question and can be used thereto replace whatever word or phrase in that language means ‘workforce’or‘labour’, or that, second, in the context of the goods and services protected by the mark MANPOWER, English is used — albeit only as an alternative to the national language — to address the members of the relevant public.
Izvajanje in uporabo tega sistema Skupnosti zagotavlja Urad Skupnosti za rastlinske sorte (v nadaljevanju: USRS), ki je decentralizirana agencija Skupnosti s sedežem v Angersu (Francija) in deluje od 27. aprila 1995.
In accordance with those criteria, the Court held that the Board of Appeal was right to find that the sign at issue is descriptive in Germany and Austria, whereas it was wrong to find that that is also the case in the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark.
V okviru USRS je bil ustanovljen odbor za pritožbe, ki je pristojen za odločanje o pritožbah zoper nekatere vrste odločb, ki jih sprejme USRS.
Another significant contribution made by the case-law in 2008 in this field concerns the scope of the reference that Article 7(1)(h) of Regulation No 40/94 makes to the absolute grounds for refusal referred to in Article 6 ter of the Paris Convention (23).
Potem ko se je v sodbi z dne 31. januarja 2008 v zadevi Federación de Cooperativas Agrarias dela Comunidad Valenciana proti USRS – Nador Cott Protection (Nadorcott) (T-95/06, še neobjavljena) Sodišče prve stopnje lahko izreklo predvsem o dopustnosti, je v sodbi z dne 19. novembra 2008 v zadevi Schräder proti USRS (SUMCOL 01) (T-187/06, še neobjavljena) opredelilo obseg sodnega nadzora, ki ga izvaja na tem področju.
In Case T-215/06 American Clothing Associates vOHIM (Representation of amaple leaf) (judgment of 28 February 2008, under appeal), which arose from the action brought by an undertaking which had been refused by the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market ( TradeMarks and Designs) (‘OHIM’) registration of a sign consisting, inter alia, of amaple leaf, on the ground that the latter appears on the Canadian flag, the Court held that, because of the distinction
V zvezi s tem je opozorilo, da kadar sodišče Skupnosti presoja odločbe, ki jih je sprejel upravni organ Skupnosti na podlagi zapletenih tehničnih preudarkov, izvaja načeloma omejen nadzor in s svojo presojo dejanskega stanja ne nadomesti presoje navedenega organa, vendar pri tem ne opusti nadzora razlage tehničnih podatkov, ki jo je podal ta organ. Ta pristop se lahko uporabi tudi, kadar je upravna odločba rezultat zapletenih presoj, ki spadajo na druga znanstvena področja, kot sta botanika in genetika.
Proceedings that that convention establishes between‘trade marks’and‘service marks’, its Article 6 ter (a), which requires, inter alia, that flags and other State emblems be refused registration, does not apply to‘service marks’.
Dejavnost sodnega nadzora. S temi merili se namreč zahteva, da se preveri, ali se sorta kandidatka po izražanju lastnosti, ki izvirajo iz nekega genotipa ali kombinacije genotipov, jasno razlikuje od katere koli druge sorte.
If the Community legislature had intended to extend that prohibition to marks in respect of services, it would not merely have referred to Article 6 ter of the Paris Convention, but would have mentioned that prohibition in the wording of Article 7 of Regulation No 40/94.
Nasprotno pa presoja obstoja druge splošno znane sorte glede namerila iz člena 7(2) navedene uredbe ne zahteva strokovnih in posebnih tehničnih znanj ter ne pomeni zapletenosti, s katero bi se lahko utemeljila omejitev obsega sodnega nadzora.
Moreover, the Court established that, unlike what is provided for in respect of the assessment of the distinctive character of a complex mark, when applying Article 6 ter of the Paris Convention, regard must be had to each of the elements of that mark and it is sufficient that one of them is a State emblem or an imitation there of to preclude registration of the mark concerned, irrespective of its overall perception.
S temi merili se namreč zahteva le, da je treba preveriti, na primer, ali je bila na dan vložitve prijave za podelitev žlahtniteljske pravice za sorto kandidatko druga sorta predmet žlahtniteljske pravice ali vpisana v uradni register rastlinskih sort.
Lastly, the application of Article 6 ter(1)(a) of the Paris Convention is not subject to the condition that there be a possibility of error on the part of the public concerned as regards the origin of the goods designated by the mark applied for or as regards the existence of a connection between the proprietor of that mark and the State whose emblem appears in that mark.
V sodbi z dne 9. septembra 2008 v zadevi MyTravel proti Komisiji (T-403/05, še neobjavljena, v pritožbenem postopku) je Sodišče prve stopnje pojasnilo obseg pravice do dostopa – določene z Uredbo (ES) št. 1049/200128 – do nekaterih dokumentov v spisu Komisije v okviru presoje združljivosti koncentracije s skupnim trgom in do dokumentov, ki so jih pripravile službe Komisije, potem ko je Sodišče prve stopnje eno od njenih odločb razglasilo za nično.
In Case T-302/06 Hartmann vOHIM (E) (judgment of 9 July 2008, not published), the Court made a significant clarification to the case-law according to which OHIM may base its analysis on facts arising from practical experience generally acquired from the marketing of general consumer goods, without being obliged to give examples of such practical experience.
Ta sodba spada v okvir koncentracije med podjetjema Airtours in First Choice, ki jo je Komisija razglasila za nezdružljivo s skupnim trgom. Ker je Sodišče prve stopnje v sodbi z dne 6. junija 2002 v zadevi Airtours proti Komisiji (T-342/99, Recueil, str.
The Court held that, since the goods covered by the mark applied for had been defined by the departments of OHIM as not being intended for general consumption, but for a specialist public, it was not acceptable that those departments based their analysis on specific facts which might be known by anyone.
Družba MyTravel, ki je pravna naslednica družbe Airtours, je Komisijo zaprosila za dostop do dveh vrst dokumentov: pripravljalnih dokumentov in poročila delovne skupine na eni strani ter dokumentov iz spisa zadeve Airtours proti First Choice, na katerih je temeljilo poročilo, na drugi strani.
A series of judgments has enabled the Court to clarify the connection which must exist between a trademark and the goods or services covered in order for it to be considered descriptive, in particular Case T-181/07 Eurocopter vOHIM (STEADYCONTROL) (judgment of 2 April 2008, not published), Case T-248/05 HUP Uslugi Polska v OHIM—Manpower (I.T.@MANPOWER) (judgment of 24 September 2008, not published, under appeal), Case T-230/06 REWE-Zentral vOHIM (Port Louis) (judgment of 15October 2008, not published), Case T-325/07 CFCMCEE vOHIM (SURFCARD) (judgment of 25 November 2008, not published) and Case T-67/07 For d Motor vOHIM (FUN) (judgment of 2 December 2008).
Prvič, glede izjeme v zvezi z varstvom postopka odločanja je Sodišče prve stopnje poudarilo, da spada poročilo delovne skupine med popolnoma upravne, in ne zakonodajne naloge Komisije.
In particular, in that last judgment, the Court held that the connection between the meaning of the word‘fun’, on the one hand, and l and motor vehicles and parts and fittings thereof, on the other, is not sufficiently direct and specific to make it possible to refuse registration of the mark applied for, contrary to what the Board of Appeal decided.
Zato interes javnosti, da pride do dokumenta na podlagi načela transparentnosti, nima enake teže pri dokumentu, ki izhaja iz upravnega postopka, v katerem se uporabljajo pravila konkurenčnega prava, kot pri dokumentu v zvezi z zakonodajnim postopkom.
Lastly, in Case T-341/06 Compagnie générale de diététique vOHIM (GARUM) (judgment of 12 March 2008, not published), the Court stated that the analysis of the distinctive character of a sign must refer to a specific and current market experience or, at the very least, to a very probable and sufficiently recent market experience.
Ker bi razkritje poročila javnosti lahko razkrilo mnenje in morebiti kritiko uradnikov Komisije ter omogočilo primerjavo vsebine poročila z odločbo, ki jo je na koncu sprejela Komisija, je Sodišče prve stopnje presodilo, da je Komisija upravičeno zavrnila dostop do tega dokumenta na podlagi presoje, da bi njegovo razkritje resno ogrozilo možnost enega od njenih članov, da ima na voljo svobodno in popolno mnenje njenih služb.
On the other hand, an alleged or hypothetical evolution, without any connection to specific and verifiable elements, cannot, in principle, suffice.
Poleg tega je Sodišče prve stopnje v zvezi z notranjimi dokumenti o koncentraciji Airtours-First Choice menilo, da je Komisija upravičeno presodila, da bi razkritje teh
The dispute between the Czech company Budějovický Budvar and the United States company Anheuser-Busch, as in 2007, led the Court, in Joined Cases T-225/06, T-255/06, T-257/06 and T-309/06 Budějovický Budvar vOHIM— Anheuser-Busch (BUD) (judgment of 16 December 2008), to interpret Article 8(4) of Regulation No 40/94, which makes it possible to file a notice of opposition against registration of a Community trademark by invoking an earlier sign other than a mark.
Sodišče prve stopnje dokumentov zmanjšalo sposobnost njenih služb, da izrazijo svoje mnenje, in resno ogrozilo njen postopek odločanja v okviru nadzora koncentracij, ker so lahko iz njih razvidna mnenja služb Komisije, ki jih v končnih različicah odločb mogoče ne bo več.
First of all, the Court observed that OHIM must take into account earlier rights which are protected in the Member States, without calling in question their classification.
Tako razkritje bi spodbudilo samocenzuro in škodovalo svobodni in popolni komunikaciji med službami.
Thus, as long as the protection afforded in Austria and France to the appellation of origin‘bud’is valid under the national law of those States, OHIM must take account of the effects of that protection.
Ta nevarnost je razumno predvidljiva, ker je zelo verjetno, da bi se lahko taki dokumenti uporabili za vplivanje na stališče služb Komisije, ki morajo biti svobodne in neodvisne od zunanjega pritiska.
The Court then held that OHIM, instead of applying Article 43 of Regulation No 40/94 by analogy and requiring Budĕjovický Budvar to demonstrate‘genuine’use of the appellations‘bud’, ought to have determined whether the signs concerned were used in the context of a commercial activity with a view to economic advantage, and not as a private matter, whatever the territory concerned by that use.
Drugič, glede izjeme v zvezi z varstvom sodnih postopkov in pravnih nasvetov, v zvezi s katero je tožeča stranka trdila, da ne velja za pisne odgovore pravne službe, namenjene GD „Konkurenca“ v okviru izdelave odločbe Airtours, je Sodišče prve stopnje navedlo, da bi lahko razkritje navedenih odgovorov spodbudilo pravno službo, da bi bila v prihodnosti zadržana in previdna, da ne bi vplivala na sposobnost odločanja Komisije na področjih, kjer posreduje kot uprava.
The Court considered that the Czech company succeeded in proving that the appellations at issue are used in the course of trade.
Dodalo je, da bi lahko razkritje teh nasvetov postavilo Komisijo v kočljiv položaj, v katerem bi lahko bila njena pravna služba prisiljena pred Sodiščem prve stopnje braniti stališče, ki ni bilo njeno v notranjem postopku.
The Court also held that OHIM erred by not taking into account all the relevant elements of fact and law in determining whether the national laws concerned enable Budějovický Budvar to prohibit use of a subsequent mark.
Tako nasprotje lahko resno vpliva na svobodomnenja pravne službe in njenomožnost, da učinkovito, z enakimi izhodiščnimi možnostmi, kot jih imajo drugi zastopniki strank, brani končno stališče Komisije pred sodiščem Skupnosti.
In Case T-161/07 Group Lottuss vOHIM— Ugly (COYOTE UGLY) (judgment of 4November 2008, not published), the Court held that there is considerable complementarity between ‘beers’, on the one hand, and‘cocktail lounge services’ and‘entertainment services, services for discos, night clubs’, on the other.
V sodbi Sodiščaprvestopnje z dne 18. decembra 2008 v zadevi Muñiz proti Komisiji (T-144/05, neobjavljena) je tudi obravnavano vprašanje uporabe izjeme v zvezi z varstvom postopka odločanja v okviru prošnje za dostop do pripravljalnih dokumentov, ki jih je delovna skupina predložila odboru za nomenklaturo, ki sodeluje v zakonodajnem postopku v zvezi z ukrepi uvrstitve blaga, ki jih sprejme Komisija, kadar lahko uvrstitev nekega blaga povzroča težave.
Beer is consumed to quench thirst or for enjoyment, whilst those services cover the activity of preparing and serving alcoholic beverages in places where people go to enjoy themselves.
Sodišče prve stopnje je menilo, da je varstvo postopka odločanja pred zunanjim pritiskom sicer lahko legitimni razlog za omejitev dostopa do dokumentov, vendar pamora biti z gotovostjo ugotovljena resničnost tega pritiska in dokazana predvidljivost nevarnosti, da bo to bistveno vplivalo na odločitev o uvrstitvi.
The Court held that OHIM was therefore right to find that those goods and services are similar to a low degree.
Poleg tega, čeprav je treba upoštevati skrb Komisije, da ohrani možnost osebja in strokovnjakov, da svobodno izražajo svoja mnenja, je vendar treba presoditi, ali je ta zaskrbljenost objektivno utemeljena.
That is not the case in respect of the similarity between beers and‘cultural activities’, since those activities display a much lower degree of complementarity with beer than the services referred to above.
Sodišče prve stopnje je menilo, da v obravnavanem primeru to ni tako, ker Komisija svojih navedb ni utemeljila z nobenim dokazom, in je izpodbijano odločbo razglasilo za nično.
