proper representation of a sound mark Explanation: Legal and practical criteria to be fulfilled for the registration of a sound mark - The mark must be distinctive The sound mark cannot consist of a noise or a combination of noises. OHIM has denied registrations of sound marks “consisting of a click”. - The mark must be capable of being represented graphically. - The mark must be clear, precise, self-contained, easily accessible, intelligible, durable and objective. The registration of a mark consisting of a sound may be sought for in three different forms: - Paper form: (sound spectrograms, onomatopoeias, description by words, notes on a stave with or without a description in words): INPI’s registration form allows mentioning notes on a stave, bars, rests, accidentals with the pitches and duration of the notes, the tone of the sound, the instruments reproducing the sounds. - Electronic form: (an electronic MP3 or WAV file with a sonogram, i.e. a mode of representation of the spectral analysis of the voice, instruments, musical works, natural or mechanical sounds) : the June 29, 2005 Committee Rule CE N°1041/2005 admitted the possibility of adding an electronic sound file to a registration application of a mark consisting of a sound - Audio recording form: (recording a sound on a CD attached to the registration form) : this mode of registration is accepted only in some countries (such as Finland, Hungary) where they are much more flexible on the interpretation of a graphical representation; the material form not being a formal prerequisite. In such countries a sound recording is considered as a proper representation of a mark and the applicant does not have to submit a drawn description. The sound mark improves referencing and therefore it acquires a genuine identity which is infinitely adaptable on any communication media (radio jingles, site jingles, mobile phone sounds, TV spots, podcasts…) http://www.pdgb.com/images/lettres/the-sound-mark-a-genuine-... - right column of page 1 |
