where:  
(a) if the trade  mark  is registered,  the use of the trade  mark  will contravene  Article  21(2)  
in relation  to a category  B geographical  indication,  and 
(b) after  the application  for the trade  mark  is accepted  but before  the trade  mark  is

(aa) the Secretary  of State  publishes  an Article  30(5)  approval  notice  
relating  to the geographical  indication,  and 
(bb) the Article  30(5)  approval  notice  is brought  to the attention  of the 
registrar  before  the trade  mark  is registere d.

application  to register  the trade  mark  referred  to in paragraph  1, 2 or 3(a) (as releva nt)  a nd 
on the basis  of the information  available  to the registrar,  it appears  to the registrar  that the

the relevan t geographical  indication.  
5. As regards  paragraphs  1 and 2, a column  5 date does  not apply  in relation  to a type  
2A, 3A or 4A geographical  indication,  in the case of paragraph  1, or in relation  to a type 
2B, 3B or 4B geographical  indication,  in the case of paragraph  2, where  the EUIA  referred

EUIA  providing  for the protection  of the use of the geographical  indication . 
6. As regards  paragraph  3, a column  5 date does  not apply  in relation  to a type  2B, 3B 
or 4B geographical  indication  where  the EUIA  referred  to in paragraph  (b) in column  2 of 
the row of the Types  Table  relating  to the geographical  indication  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 made , the use of the trade  mark  contravenes  
a provision  in the EUIA  providing  for the protection  of the use of the geographical  
indication.  
7. Where  a geographical  indication  falls within  the definition  of more  than  one type  of 
geographical  indication  in Article  4, 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 
geographical  indication.  
8. In a case of a category  A or B geographical  indic ation  that is not on Great  Britain’s  
GIs Register  at the time an assessment  is carried  out under  paragraph  1, 2 or 3, the 
geographical  indication  is to be treated,  for the purpose  of the assessment,  as being  a 
geographical  indication  protected  under  this Regulation  in determining  whether  the use of 
the trade  mark  will contravene  Article  21(2)  in relation  to that geographical  indication.
