The protection afforded by an EU trade mark, the function of which is in particular to guarantee the trade mark as an indication of origin, should be absolute in the case of identity between the mark and the sign and the goods or services.
An chosaint a thugann trádmharc de chuid AE, a bhfuil sé mar fheidhm leis, go háirithe, an trádmharc a ráthú mar thásc tionscnaimh, ba cheart an chosaint sin a bheith ina lánchosaint i gcás céannacht idir an marc agus an comhartha agus na hearraí nó seirbhísí.
