As they found it necessary to introduce an express provision to the effect that registration of a Community trade mark which is under application at the date of accession may not be refused on the basis of any of the absolute grounds for refusal listed in Article 7(1) of Regulation No 40/94, if these grounds became applicable merely because of the accession of a new Member State, the authors of the Act of Accession considered that, if that provision did not exist, such an application would have had to have been refused if the mark was devoid of any distinctive character in one of the new Member States.

In support of that analysis, the appellant relies on Article 142a(2) of Regulation No 40/94, introduced by the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic to the European Union and the adjustments to the Treaties on which the European Union is founded (OJ 2003 L 236, p. 33) (‘the Act of Accession’), which provides: ‘[t]he registration of a Community trade mark which is under application at the date ...[+++]of accession may not be refused on the basis of any of the absolute grounds for refusal listed in Article 7(1) [of Regulation No 40/94], if these grounds became applicable merely because of the accession of a new Member State’.

The first proposal relates to the accession of the European Community to the Madrid Protocol on international registration of trade marks and the second proposal contains the necessary provisions to give effect to that accession through an amendment of Council Regulation No 40/94 on the Community Trade Mark".
