  • DEVIN, the Name of a Bulgarian Town, Can Be Registered As an EU Trade Mark for Mineral Water
    General Court of the European Union PRESS RELEASE No 162/18 Luxembourg, 25 October 2018 Judgment in Case T-122/17 Press and Information Devin v EUIPO DEVIN, the name of a Bulgarian town, can be registered as an EU trade mark for mineral water The geographical name remains available to third parties not only for descriptive use, such as the promotion of tourism in that town, but also as a distinctive sign in cases of ‘due cause’ and where there is no likelihood of confusion On 21 January 2011, the company Devin AD, obtained from the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) registration of the EU word mark DEVIN for non-alcoholic drinks. In July 2014, Haskovo Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Bulgaria), filed an application with EUIPO for a declaration of invalidity of the contested mark. By a decision of 29 January 2016, EUIPO, in essence, found that the town of Devin in Bulgaria was known to the general public in Bulgaria and a significant proportion of consumers in neighbouring countries such as Greece and Romania, especially as a renowned spa town, and that the name of that town was linked by the relevant public with the designated goods covered by the contested mark, especially mineral waters. EUIPO therefore declared the mark invalid in its entirety. Devin AD brought an action before the General Court seeking annulment of the decision of EUIPO. By today’s judgment, the General Court annuls the decision of EUIPO. The General Court notes first that, for the Bulgarian consumer, even if he recognises the word ‘devin’ as a geographical name, it seems extremely implausible that the trade mark DEVIN has not acquired, at least in Bulgaria, a normal distinctive character, without there being any need to rule on its reputation.

  • 597-614 Goran Peric
    PERSPECTIVES OF DEVELOPMENT OF SPA TOURISM IN SERBIA Lecturer Goran Peri ć Business School of Applied Studies in Blace , Department of Tourism / SERBIA Marija Stojiljkovi ć Business School of Applied Studies / SERBIA Marko Gaši ć Business School of Applied Studies / SERBIA PhD. Vladan Ivanovi ć Business School of Applied Studies / SERBIA ABSTRACT Serbia abounds in thermal mineral springs, which are not tourist valorized and used in the proper way. With more than 50 spas and more than 1000 springs, of which about 500 springs of cold and hot mineral water, as well as the abundance of natural gas and mineral mud, has a huge potential in spa tourism. Because of that, Serbia is so-called “Spa country”. According to the number of overnights and arrivals, spas are the leading tourist destinations in Serbia. The subject of this paper refers to the assessment of prospects for the development of spa tourism. The aim is, based on analysis of the characteristics of spa tourism in Europe, to indicate that the spa tourism in Serbia needs a new development concept in line with modern trends in the tourism market. Special attention will be dedicated to analysis of tourist traffic, considering the key factors for tourist valorization, comparison with contemporary trends in certain spa resorts in Europe, as well as defining the strategic direction of advancement of spa tourism in Serbia. At the end, it was concluded that Serbia, despite extremely favorable natural resources for the development of spa tourism, still counts as insufficient evolutionary destination, and this is of particular importance for the future improvement of this type of tourism and positioning spas as tourist destinations on the international tourism market, is precisely their transformation of specialized hospitals to modern spa centers and wellness tourism.

  • General Court: Name of Spa Town Eligible for Registration for Mineral Waters | World Trademark Review
    13/11/2018 General Court: name of spa town eligible for registration for mineral waters | World Trademark Review 12 Nov General Court: name of spa town eligible for 2018 registration for mineral waters European Union - Dr Helen G Papaconstantinou and Partners Law Firm Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry sought cancellation of DEVIN - a Bulgarian spa town - in Class 32 EUIPO found that mark was descriptive of goods’ geographical origin Court found that general interest in preserving availability of geographical name could be protected without cancelling mark In invalidity proceedings between Devin AD, the EU Intellectual Property Oce (EUIPO) and the Haskovo Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Case T-122/17, 25 October 2018), the Eighth Chamber of the General Court has ruled that Devin, the name of a Bulgarian spa town, may be registered as an EU trademark to cover mineral waters in Class 32. Background In 2011 Bulgarian company Devin AD obtained the registration of the EU word mark DEVIN (No 9408865) to cover, among other things, mineral water and other non-alcoholic beverages in Class 32. The Haskovo Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Bulgaria) led a petition for a declaration of invalidity of the mark in 2014, which was upheld by the Cancellation Division of the EUIPO in so far as it was based on Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation 207/2009, and resulted in the mark being declared invalid in its entirety. More specically, the Cancellation Division found that the geographical name Devin would be understood by the general public in Bulgaria, as well as by part of the public in Greece and Romania and, potentially, by a wider public within the European Union, as the geographical origin of the covered goods, due to the marketing efforts and growth of the Bulgarian tourism sector.

Walton Universidad del País Vasco Resumen ste artículo propone que desde el siglo XVIII los balnearios termales del Reino Unido E han seguido una trayectoria única dentro del más amplio contexto europeo, que se concreta en la estructura de la red de balnearios, la falta de dinamismo desde principios del siglo XIX y la ausencia del papel innovador británico que se ha notado en otros aspectos de la historia del turismo.

Palabras clave: Turismo, Balnearios, Salud. Códigos JEL: N3, N5, N7. Abstract his article argues that the British experience of spa resort development since the T eighteenth century has been unique in Europe, in terms of the nature of the resort net- work, the lack of sustained dynamism, and the failure of the British role in spa tourism to match the dynamic and innovatory influence displayed in other aspects of tourism develop- ment.
