(2008/C 22/17)
Language of the case: Spanish
Applicant: Alfredo Nieto Nuño
Defendant: Leonci Monlleó Franquet
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Juzgado de lo Mercantil — Interpretation of Article 4 of Council Directive 89/104/EEC of 21 December 1988 to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trade marks (OJ 1989 L 40, p. 1) — Meaning of ‘well known’ — Whether knowledge and use may be confined to a limited territory, such as an autonomous community, a region, an area or a city, depending on the goods or services concerned and the public for whom the mark is intended
Article 4(2)(d) of First Council Directive 89/104/EEC of 21 December 1988 to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trade marks is to be interpreted as meaning that the earlier trade mark must be well known throughout the territory of the Member State of registration or in a substantial part of it.
