2 of the Trademarks Directive is not limitative (consideration 45 adds that even signs which arenot capable of visual perception, can be valid trademarks).2.3 As follows from the above, there are no categories of signs excluded from registration astrademarks. Only some particular limitations apply to three-dimensional trademarks (see infraquestion 4).3. Where applications to register a colour per se or a combination of colours * per se maybe accepted for registration:3.1 in relation to goods, is such an application acceptable if it does not specify the outline,contours or proportions in which or the shape or object to which the colour is to beapplied;According to the ECJ in Libertel a colour per se is, in relation to a product or service, capableof constituting a trademark. To be registrable the application of the colour trademark needs tocomply with the requirements that were laid down in the Sieckmann decision of the ECJ (see 0,5 and 6). The circumstances under which an application of a colour per se, with nospecification of the outline, contours or proportions in which the colour is to be applied, isacceptable for registration are set out under 3.3.3.2 is such an application registrable in relations to services and, if so, under whatconditions;Although there is a clear difference between the use of colour marks for goods and for services– in case of goods the colour can be applied to the goods while in case of a service mark onecan not apply the colour on the services – the ECJ in Libertel does not lay down any specialrequirements for services. The same requirements as for goods can therefore be applied forservices.3.3 is an applicant required to file a sample of the colour(s) applied for and/or a colorimetricreference or other colour code;If the application does not specify the outline, contours or proportions in which or the shape orobject to which the colour is to be applied a mere sample of a colour does not satisfy therequirements set out in Sieckmann (and repeated in Libertel consideration 28 and 29). Inparticular a sample of a colour may deteriorate with time. Therefore it does not possess therequired durability ** (see Sieckmann, consideration 53 and Libertel consideration 32 and 33)and does not constitute a graphic representation within the meaning of Article 2 of theDirective.However, a verbal description of a colour, in so far as it is composed of words whichthemselves are made up of letters, does constitute a graphic representation of the colour (seeLibertel, consideration 35). Whether a description in words of the colour will indeed satisfy theconditions set out in Sieckmann and Libertel is a question which must be evaluated in the lightof the circumstances of each individual case.3
