This consultation procedure, which aims to amend Regulation (EC) No 40/94 on the Community trade mark, may seem unimportant. That, however, is not the case.
There is in fact a relationship here between Community trade marks and designations of origin or geographical indications, which brings to mind the case of Limiano cheese, from Ponte de Lima, and even the question of wines.
That is why Amendments Nos 1 and 2 in this report are dangerous. Although he states that a commercial trade mark may in no event be at the same time a geographical indication or designation of origin, the rapporteur also says that the indication or designation may be included in the trademark when the products covered have the right to bear it. The problem with this is that it may lead to trade protection for trade marks belonging to a titular holder, usually a company, thus threatening the designation of origin, as in the case of Limiano cheese. That is why we abstained from the vote."@en1
