                      DECISION DEL CONSEJO
por la que se autoriza la firma, en nombre de la Comunidad Europea,
    del Tratado sobre el derecho de marcas concluido en Ginebra
       el 27 de octubre de 1994 bajo los auspicios de la OMPI
         (Organización Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual)
                    (presentada por la Comisión)
 ---pagebreak---                                  EXPOSICIÓN DE MOTIVOS
El 27 de octubre de 1994, la Conferencia diplomática convocada a tal efecto aprobó el
Tratado sobre el derecho de marcas elaborado bajo los auspicios de la OMPI
(Organización Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual). El Tratado quedará abierto a la firma
en la sede de la OMPI hasta el 27 de octubre de 1995.
La Comunidad Europea, representada por la Comisión, participó en la conferencia
diplomática en calidad de delegación especial. Por Decisión del Consejo de 19 de
septiembre de 1994, la Comisión había sido autorizada a negociar los aspectos del
Tratado relacionados con la marca comunitaria y la participación de la Comunidad. El 28
de octubre de 1994, la Comisión suscribió el Acta final de la conferencia diplomática,
aunque nofirmóel Tratado en sí.
Es importante señalar que a 16 de diciembre de 1994, el Actafinalhabía sidofirmadapor
sesenta y ocho delegaciones, mientras que el Tratado sólo había sido suscrito por treinta y
nueve, entre ellos nueve Estados miembros. Asimismo, el Tratado fue firmado por
algunos de los principales socios comerciales de la Comunidad, como Estados Unidos, la
Federación Rusa y China.
INTERÉS DE LA COMUNIDAD POR EL TRATADO SOBRE EL DERECHO DE MARCAS
La Comunidad se halla interesada por el Tratado en cuestión dado que puede aplicarse a
la marca comunitaria y a la Oficina de Armonización del Mercado Interior (marcas,
diseños y modelos) de Alicante. Sin embargo, en el actual estadio de armonización
comunitaria son los Estados miembros quienes deben decidir sobre la aplicación de dicho
Tratado a sus marcas y oficinas nacionales.
El Tratado sobre el derecho de marcas simplifica notablemente los procedimientos, así
por ejemplo:
• limita el número de documentos que el depositario de una marca debe presentar ante la
   oficina competente,
• suprime, a la larga, la obligación de autenticación o certificación de la firma del
   depositario por parte de una autoridad pública del Estado de depósito de la marca,
• introduce modelos de formularios mutuamente reconocidos por todas las partes
   contratantes.
La simplificación debería llevar aparejada una notable reducción de los costes que la
industria comunitaria tiene que soportar en el registro, la renovación o la cesión de
marcas en terceros países. Así pues, la industria comunitaria siempre ha apoyado este
instrumento.
Además, el Tratado constituye un complemento al acuerdo TRIPs (Trade Related
Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) y es compatible con él.
                                         -    S\
 ---pagebreak--- A lo largo de la conferencia diplomática, el derecho de voto autónomo de la Comunidad1
ha sido una de las cuestiones que ha polarizado el debate.
La Comunidad considera satisfactoria la solución adoptada al respecto en el Tratado. Al
no crearse la Asamblea compuesta por las partes contratantes que aparecía sin embargo
en el proyecto de Tratado (documento TLT/DC/3 de 28 de marzo de 1994), desaparece la
necesidad de prever un derecho de voto en la Asamblea. Ninguna de las partes
contratantes dispondrá de derecho de voto.
El Tratado podrá revisarse como resultado de una conferencia diplomática cuya
convocatoria decidirá, en su momento, la Asamblea General de la OMPI. Con ese
motivo, el problema del derecho de voto autónomo de la Comunidad se volverá a
plantear.
POSIBILIDAD DE QUE LA COMUNIDAD PASE A SER PARTE EN EL TRATADO
De conformidad con el artículo 19.1)ii) del Tratado, la Comunidad puede convertirse en
parte contratante2. En esta fase, parece prematuro que el Consejo proceda a la ratificación
del Tratado sobre el derecho de marcas. En efecto, parece necesario adoptar medidas que
garanticen la conformidad de la reglamentación sobre la marca comunitaria y la Oficina
de Alicante con este Tratado. Antes de proceder a ello, habrá que adoptar todas las
medidas previstas con objeto de que la Oficina de Alicante se convierta en un centro
plenamente operativo. A continuación, se podrá empezar a considerar la posibilidad de
ratificar el Tratado en nombre de la Comunidad.
Sin embargo, a la luz de todo lo expuesto, es fundamental que, antes del 27 de octubre de
1995, la Comunidad firme el Tratado sobre el derecho de marcas. Dicha firma constituirá
un testimonio de la importancia que la Comunidad concede a las marcas y a los
procedimientos relacionados con ellas y podrá servir de acicate para los demás Estados.
Al contribuir a crear un entorno favorable al Tratado sobre el derecho de marcas, la
Comunidad sentaría las bases para una amplia participación en dicho Tratado, en
consonancia con las expectativas e intereses económicos de la industria comunitaria.
