Article 13U.K.Restrictions on the use of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications

1.Without prejudice to Article 102 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the [F35Secretary of State may, by regulations, grant] a transitional period of up to five years to enable products originating in [F36the United Kingdom] or a third country, the designation of which consists of or contains a name that contravenes Article 103(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, to continue to use the designation under which they were marketed.

The granting of such transitional period is conditional upon the submission of an admissible statement of objection under F37... Article 98 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 showing that the decision conferring protection over the name would jeopardise the existence:

(a)of an entirely identical name or of a compound name, one term of which is identical to the name to be registered; or

(b)of partially homonymous names or of other names similar to the name to be registered which refer to grapevine products which have been legally on the market [F38in Great Britain] for at least five years preceding the date of the publication provided for in Article 97(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

2.The [F39Secretary of State may, by regulations, extend] the transitional period referred to in paragraph 1 up to 15 years in duly justified cases where it is shown that:

(a)the designation referred to in paragraph 1 has been in legal use consistently and fairly for at least 25 years before the application for protection was submitted to the [F40Secretary of State];

(b)the purpose of using the designation referred to in paragraph 1 has not, at any time, been to profit from the reputation of the registered name and it is shown that the consumer has not been nor could have been misled as to the true origin of the product.

3.When using a designation referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, the indication of the country of origin shall clearly and visibly appear on the labelling.

4.To overcome temporary difficulties, with the long-term objective of ensuring that all producers in the area concerned comply with the product specification, [F41the Secretary of State may use any power the Secretary of State has to make regulations to] grant protection for a transitional period, starting from the date on which the application is forwarded to the [F42Secretary of State], on condition that the operators concerned have legally marketed the grapevine products in question using the names concerned continuously for at least the five years prior to the lodging of the application [F43with the Secretary of State] and that these temporary difficulties had been raised in the F44... objection procedure referred to in Article [F4598] of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. The transitional period shall be as short as possible and shall not exceed 10 years.

The first subparagraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to a protected geographical indication or protected designation of origin referring to a geographical area situated in a third country, with the exception of the objection procedure.

Such transitional periods shall be indicated in the application file referred to in Article 94(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

[F465.The powers to make regulations conferred on the Secretary of State by paragraphs 1 and 2 are exercisable by statutory instrument.

6.A statutory instrument containing regulations made under paragraph 1 or 2 is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.

7.Such regulations may contain supplementary, incidental or consequential provision.]

Article 14U.K.Types of amendments

1.For the purposes of Article 105 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 amendments to a product specification are classified into two categories as regards their importance: amendments requiring an objection procedure [F47under Article 98 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, as applied to applications for amendments by Article 15 (‘non-standard amendments’), and amendments that do not (‘standard amendments’). Standard amendments for a product specification for a protected designation of origin or protected geographical indications relating to an area in a third country are] to be dealt with at F48... third country level (‘[F49third country] standard amendments’).

[F501a.]An amendment is considered to be a [F51non-standard] amendment where:

(a)it includes a change in the name of the protected designation of origin or protected geographical indication;

(b)it consists of a change, a deletion or an addition of a category of grapevine product, as referred to in Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013;

(c)it could potentially void the link referred to in point (a)(i) or in point (b)(i) of Article 93(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013;

(d)it entails further restrictions on the marketing of the product.

[F521b.]Applications for [F53non-standard] amendments submitted by third countries or by third country producers shall contain proof that the requested amendment complies with the laws on the protection of designations of origin or geographical indications in force in that third country.

[F541c.]All other amendments are considered standard amendments.

2.[F55Standard amendments are classified into four sub-categories taking into account the geographical area of the designation of origin or geographical indication affected by the amendment and whether the amendments are temporary as follows:

(a)UK standard amendments;

(b)UK temporary amendments;

(c)third country standard amendments;

(d)third country temporary amendments.

2a.A UK standard amendment is a standard amendment of a product specification for a designation of origin or geographical indication relating to a geographical area in the United Kingdom.

2b.A UK temporary amendment is a standard amendment concerning a temporary change in a product specification for a designation of origin or geographical indication for a geographical area in the United Kingdom:

(a)resulting from the imposition of obligatory sanitary or phytosanitary measures, or linked to natural disasters formally recognised, by the Secretary of State, or imposed or formally recognised by:

(i)the Environment Agency in a case where, and to the extent that, a relevant geographical area in England is affected;

(ii)the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, or the Department of Health, in a case where, and to the extent that, a relevant geographical area in Northern Ireland is affected;

(iii)the Scottish Ministers, Food Standards Scotland or the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, in a case where, and to the extent that, a relevant geographical area in Scotland is affected;

(iv)the Welsh Ministers, or the Natural Resources Body for Wales, in a case where, and to the extent that, a relevant geographical area in Wales is affected;

(v)the Food Standards Agency in a case where, and to the extent that, a relevant geographical area in England, Northern Ireland or Wales is affected, or

(b)linked to adverse weather conditions formally recognised by the Met Office of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.

2c.A third country standard amendment is a standard amendment of a product specification for a designation of origin or geographical indication relating to a geographical area in a third country.]

[F562d.][F57A third country] temporary amendment is a standard amendment concerning a temporary change in the product specification [F58for a designation of origin or geographical indication relating to a geographical area in a third country] resulting from the imposition of obligatory sanitary and phytosanitary measures by the public authorities [F59of the third country] or linked to natural disasters or adverse weather conditions formally recognised by the competent authorities [F59of the third country].

SECTION 3U.K.Protection

Article 32U.K.Relationship with trade marks

1.The registration of a trade mark that contains or consists of a traditional term which does not respect the definition and conditions of use of that traditional term as referred to in Article 112 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, and that relates to a product falling under one of the categories listed in Part II of Annex VII thereto shall be:

2.A name shall not be protected as a traditional term where, in the light of a trade mark's reputation and renown, such protection is liable to mislead the consumer as to the true identity, nature, characteristic or quality of the grapevine product.

3.Without prejudice to paragraph 2, a trade mark referred to in paragraph 1 which has been applied for, registered or established by use in good faith, F166... in the territory of the [F167United Kingdom], prior to the date of protection of the traditional term in the country of origin, may continue to be used and renewed notwithstanding the protection of a traditional term, provided that no grounds for the trade mark's invalidity or revocation exist [F168in, or under, the TMA].

In such cases, the use of the traditional term shall be permitted alongside the relevant trade marks.

[F169Article 32aU.K. Transitional provision: relationship with trade marks

1.Unless paragraph 4 applies, an application to register a trade mark that was pending immediately before IP completion day or filed during the relevant period must be refused where, if the trade mark is registered, the use of the trade mark will not respect the definition in Article 112 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and the conditions of use in Article 113 of that Regulation in relation to a category A traditional term.

2.Unless paragraph 4 applies, an application to register a trade mark that was pending immediately before IP completion day or filed during the relevant period must be refused where:

(a)if the trade mark is registered, the use of the trade mark will not respect the definition in Article 112 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and conditions of use in Article 113 of that Regulation in relation to a category B traditional term, and

(b)after the application for the trade mark is accepted but before the trade mark is registered:

(i)in the case of a type 2B traditional term:

(aa)the international agreement referred to in paragraph (c) of column 2 of row 2 of the Types Table enters into force or the bridging arrangements referred to in that column are made, and

(bb)the entry into force of the international agreement or the making of the bridging arrangements is brought to the attention of the registrar before the trade mark is registered;

(ii)in the case of any other category B traditional term:

(aa)the Secretary of State publishes an Article 115(2) approval notice relating to the traditional term, and

(bb)the Article 115(2) approval notice is brought to the attention of the registrar before the trade mark is registered.

3.Where an application for a declaration of invalidity is made under the TMA (as applied by Article 32b(1) and modified by Article 32b(2)) in relation to the registration of a trade mark, the registration of the trade mark must be declared to be invalid, unless paragraph 4 applies, if:

(a)the application to register the trade mark was pending immediately before IP completion day or filed during the relevant period,

(b)the use of the trade mark does not, or will not, if used, respect the definition in Article 112 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and conditions of use in Article 113 of that Regulation in relation to a category B traditional term, and

(c)in the case of a type 3B, 4B or 5B traditional term, the Secretary of State publishes an Article 115(2) approval notice relating to the traditional term on or after the day on which the trade mark application is accepted.

4.This paragraph applies where a column 5 date applies in relation to a category A or B traditional term and, taking account of any priority claimed in respect of an application to register the trade mark referred to in paragraph 1, 2 or 3(a) (as relevant) and on the basis of the information available to the registrar, it appears to the registrar that the date of filing of the trade mark application is earlier than the column 5 date that applies to the relevant traditional term.

5.As regards paragraphs 1 and 2, a column 5 date does not apply in relation to a type 2A, 3A or 4A traditional term where the EUIA referred to in paragraph (b) in column 2 of the row of the Types Table relating to the traditional term provides that an application for a trade mark must be refused, regardless of when that application is filed, if the trade mark, if registered, will contravene a provision in the EUIA providing for the protection of the use of the traditional term

6.As regards paragraph 3, a column 5 date does not apply in relation to a type 2B, 3B or 4B traditional term where the EUIA referred to in paragraph (b) in column 2 of the row of the Types Table relating to the traditional term provides that the registration of a trade mark must be invalidated if, regardless of when the application that resulted in the registration of the trade mark is filed, the use of the trade mark contravenes a provision in the EUIA providing for the protection of the use of the traditional term.

7.Where a traditional term falls within the definition of more than one type of traditional term in Article 1b, the column 5 date to be taken into account for the purpose of paragraph 4 is the earliest of the column 5 dates for the relevant types of traditional term.

8.In a case of a category A or B traditional term that is not on Great Britain's Traditional Terms Register at the time an assessment is carried out under paragraph 1, 2 or 3, the traditional term is to be treated, for the purpose of the assessment, as being a protected traditional term in determining whether the use of the trade mark will contravene Article 113 in relation to that traditional term.

9.A trade mark that could be used under Article 32(3) of EU Regulation 2019/33 in the United Kingdom immediately before IP completion day may continue to be used in Great Britain on and after IP completion day:

(a)notwithstanding that the use of the trade mark would not respect the definition in Article 112 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and conditions of use in Article 113 of that Regulation in relation to a traditional term registered by the Secretary of State under this Regulation;

(b)provided that no grounds for the invalidation or revocation of the trade mark exist in, or under, the TMA.

10.Nothing in this Regulation prevents a trade mark that could be renewed in the United Kingdom pursuant to Article 32(3) of EU Regulation 2019/33 immediately before IP completion day from being renewed after IP completion day:

(a)notwithstanding that the use of the renewed trade mark would not respect the definition in Article 112 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and conditions of use in Article 113 of that Regulation in relation to a traditional term registered by the Secretary of State under this Regulation;

(b)provided that no grounds for the invalidation or revocation of the trade mark exist in, or under, the TMA.

11.Where paragraph 9 or 10 applies to the use or renewal of a trade mark, this does not affect the use of:

(a)an established protected traditional term entered on Great Britain's Traditional Terms Register pursuant to Article 39;

(b)a traditional term entered on Great Britain's Traditional Terms Register by the Secretary of State following a decision by the Secretary of State to approve an application to protect the traditional term submitted under Article 21 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/34;
