In the world of intellectual property, the recent case of registering the trademark PABLO ESCOBAR has induced lively debate and raised many questions about the practice and fundamental principles of trademark protection.
Specifically, Escobar Inc., based in Puerto Rico (USA), filed an application for the registration of the trademark to the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), consisting of the words PABLO ESCOBAR for classes of goods and services of the Nice Classification no. 3, 5, 9, 10, 12-16, 18, 20, 21, 24-26, and 28-45, which encompass a wide range of goods and services such as non-medicated toiletries, pharmaceutical products, jewelry, clothing, footwear, alcoholic drinks and banking services. EUIPO, by decision No. R 1364/2022-5 from June 1st, 2022. rejected the application on the grounds that it was contrary to public policy and accepted principles of morality. The applicant Escobar Inc. has filed an appeal against this decision, and the EUIPO Board of Appeals dismissed the appeal by decision from February 21st, 2023. The General Court of the European Union issued a Judgment on April 17th, 2024, dismissing the action filed by Escobar Inc., stating in its reasoning that the name of the mark is associated with “drug trafficking and narco-terrorism and with the crimes and suffering resulting therefrom”. An appeal against this Judgment may be lodged with the Court of Justice of the European Union.
During the proceedings, Escobar Inc. argued that in this manner EUIPO violates the presumption of innocence, considering that Pablo Escobar was never convicted of the crimes attributed to him, and that the names like Bonnie and Clyde, Al Capone, or Che Guevara are already registered as EU trademarks. They also argued that there is no definition of the terms “public policy” and “accepted principles of morality”, and practice indicates that the examination of whether a mark is contrary to public policy or accepted principles of morality must be conducted in relation to the perception of the relevant public in the European Union. On the other hand, EUIPO states that previous registrations are merely a circumstance that may be taken into account, but without a mandatory decisive role.
It’s interesting to note that EUIPO has previously approved and registered trademarks such as THE GODFATHER, EL CHAPO, MAFIA, and YAKUZA. This raises a legitimate question about how the concepts of public policy and accepted principles of morality are interpreted, and why there is inconsistency in the practices of the authorities. The rejection of the application for the mark PABLO ESCOBAR may be seen as a newer trend indicating that EUIPO is now applying the conditions for trademark protection more strictly in the context of “public policy” and “accepted principles of morality” and additionally, this may have broader implications, including the possibility of cancellation of a previously registered trademarks that would be considered unacceptable in light of new interpretations of public policy and moral principles.
In light of this case, it is important to note the recent decision regarding the domain PabloEscobar.com, where through the UDRP procedure, it was determined that the domain belongs to Escobar Inc. The company argued that the domain was previously used for cybersquatting, meaning the unauthorized use of a famous name for the purpose of benefiting from it by the previous domain owners, Neil Okrent and Ivan Munguia. As a result, it was ordered that the domain be transferred to the company, recognizing it is legitimate interest and rights to the name Pablo Escobar. This decision was made considering that Escobar Inc. held the rights to the registered trademark PABLO ESCOBAR with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and additionally, this trademark is also registered in Austria.
The debate over the interpretation of the terms “public policy” and “accepted principles of morality” in the context of trademark registration clearly highlights the need for more precise guidelines in this area of law. While expecting a potential decision from the Court of Justice of the European Union, PABLO ESCOBAR remains without a trademark in the EU, yet paradoxically, the recognition of this mark is growing.
Žig i Moralni Principi – Saga EskobarU svetu intelektualne svojine, nedavni slučaj registracije žiga PABLO ESCOBAR izazvao je živu raspravu i postavio mnoga pitanja o praksi i osnovnim principima zaštite oznaka.
Naime, kompanija Escobar Inc., sa sedištem u Portoriku (SAD) je podnela prijavu za priznanje žiga Zavodu za intelektualnu svojinu EU (u daljem tekstu: EUIPO) i to znaka koji se sastoji iz reči PABLO ESCOBAR za klase roba i usluga Ničanske klasifikacije br. 3, 5, 9, 10, 12-16, 18, 20, 21, 24-26 i 28-45, koje obuhvataju širok spektar robe i usluga kao npr. nemedicinske toaletne proizvode, farmaceutske proizvode, nakit, odeću, obuću, alkoholna pića, bankarske usluge. EUIPO je odlukom br. R 1364/2022-5 od dana 01.06.2022. godine odbio prijavu sa obrazloženjem da je ista u suprotnosti sa javnom politikom i prihvaćenim moralnim principima. Podnosilac prijave Escobar Inc. je izjavio žalbu na takvu odluku, a Odbor za žalbe EUIPO je odbio žalbu odlukom od dana 21.02.2023. godine. Opšti sud EU je dana 17.04.2024. godine doneo Presudu kojom je odbio tužbu Escobar Inc., gde je u obrazloženju naveo da je naziv znaka povezan sa “trgovinom droge i narko-terorizmom i sa zločinima i patnjom koje proizilaze”. Protiv ove Presude je moguće podneti žalbu Sudu pravde Evropske unije.
Tokom postupaka, kompanija Escobar Inc. je isticala da na navedeni način EUIPO krši prezumpciju nevinosti, imajući u vidu da Pablo Eskobar nikada nije osuđen za zločine koji mu se stavljaju na teret, te da su nazivi poput Bonnie i Clyde, Al Kaponea ili Če Gevare već registrovani kao EU žigovi, kao i da nema definicije pojmova “javne politike” i “prihvaćenih moralnih principa”, a praksa navodi da se ispitivanje da li je znak suprotan javnoj politici ili prihvaćenim moralnim principima mora sprovesti u odnosu na percepciju relevantne javnosti u Evropskoj uniji. EUIPO, s druge strane, navodi da prethodne registracije samo predstavljaju okolnost koja može biti uzeta u obzir, ali bez obavezne odlučujuće uloge.
Zanimljivo je primetiti da je EUIPO prethodno odobrio i registraciju žigova kao što su THE GODFATHER, EL CHAPO, MAFIA i YAKUZA. Postavlja se opravdano pitanje kako se tumače pojmovi javne politike i prihvaćenih moralnih principa, kao i zašto postoji neujednačenost u praksi organa. Odbijanje prijave za znak PABLO ESCOBAR može se smatrati novijim trendom koji ukazuje na to da EUIPO sada strože primenjuje uslove zaštite žiga u kontekstu “javne politike” i “prihvaćenih moralnih principa”, a pored toga ovo može imati šire implikacije, uključujući i mogućnost poništaja već registrovanih žigova koji bi se smatrali neprihvatljivim u svetlu novih tumačenja javne politike i moralnih principa.
U svetlu ovog slučaja, važno je napomenuti i nedavnu odluku koja se odnosila na domen PabloEscobar.com, gde je putem postupka UDRP-a utvrđeno da domen pripada kompaniji Escobar Inc., kompanija je argumentovala da je domen prethodno korišćen u svrhu cybersquattinga, odnosno zloupotrebe poznatog imena radi neovlašćenog sticanja koristi od strane prethodnih vlasnika domena Neil Okrent i Ivan Munguia. Kao rezultat, naloženo je da se domen prenese kompaniji, priznajući njen legitimni interes i prava nad imenom Pablo Escobar. Na ovaj način je odlučeno s obzirom na to da je kompanija Escobar Inc. bila nosilac prava registrovanog žiga PABLO ESCOBAR pred američkim Zavodom za patente i žigove, a dodatno, ovaj žig je registrovan i u Austriji.
Rasprava o tumačenju pojmova “javne politike” i “prihvaćenih moralnih principa” u kontekstu registracije žiga jasno ukazuje na potrebu za preciznijim smernicama u ovoj oblasti prava. Dok se očekuje eventualna odluka Suda pravde Evropske unije, Pablo Escobar ostaje bez žiga u EU, a paradoksalno, prepoznatljivost ove oznake je sve veća.
