Community Collective Marks: Status, Scope and Rivals in the European Signs Landscape

 2014

Summary

Dieses Buch befasst sich mit der Art und dem Geltungsbereich von Gemeinschaftskollektivmarken und untersucht, inwieweit Zertifizierungszeichen im Rahmen des geltenden europäischen Markenrechts umfasst werden.

Auch wenn man den Vorschlag für eine neue europäische Markenverordnung 2013 befürwortet, so müssen die beiden Formen unterschieden werden, da sie unterschiedlichen Zwecken dienen. Ferner befasst sich das Werk mit der Rolle und der Bedeutung der geografischen Herkunftsangabe im Recht der Europäischen Union, ebenso wie mit der Frage, ob die Herkunftsangabe noch als eigenständiger Regelungsbereich erhalten bleiben soll.

Die Vorteile der verschiedenen Kennzeichen werden durch Diskrepanzen in der Terminologie und Unsicherheiten in Theorie und Praxis behindert. Das Werk untersucht das Potential eines jeden Systems durch die Analyse der Gemeinschaftsmarkenverordnung (GMV) in ihrer jetzigen Form und der Praxis des HABM, im Vergleich zu den nationalen Rechtsvorschriften und unter Zugrundelegung der Intention des europäischen Gesetzgebers.
