Article R623-58 of the French Intellectual Property Code

Any person who, on the occasion of any acts of transfer, concession or marketing of a variety benefiting from a plant variety certificate, wishes to make use of the option offered to him by Article L. 623-15 to attach a trademark or service mark to the variety denomination, whether this trademark is his own or has been granted to him, must take the necessary precautions, particularly in correspondence, advertising, in the drawing up of commercial catalogues, on packaging or labels, to ensure that this denomination is sufficiently apparent in its context so that no confusion is likely to arise in the mind of the buyer as to the identity of the variety.

Toute personne qui, à l’occasion de tous actes de cession, de concession ou de commercialisation d’une variété bénéficiant d’un certificat d’obtention végétale, désire user de la faculté qui lui est offerte par l’article L. 623-15 d’adjoindre à la dénomination variétale une marque de produits ou de services, que cette marque lui soit propre ou qu’elle lui soit concédée, doit prendre les précautions nécessaires notamment dans la correspondance, dans la publicité, dans l’établissement des catalogues commerciaux, sur les emballages ou étiquettes, afin que cette dénomination soit suffisamment apparente dans son contexte pour qu’aucune confusion ne soit susceptible de s’établir dans l’esprit de l’acheteur sur l’identité de la variété.
