Council Regulation (EC) No. 510/2006, Arts. 4, 5, 13 and 14; Directive 89/104/EEC, Art. 4(4)(d) and (e); Code of Industrial Property, Arts. 7, 11(4), 12(10), 13 and 14 – Cacio Romano Headnotes by the Editorial Office 1. If a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and a trade mark do not refer to the same class of product, the owner of the PDO cannot invoke the protection afforded by Council Regulation (EC) No. 510/2006. 2. When the comparison is between a PDO and a trade mark, reference to the product categories of the Nice Classification is irrelevant. 3. To identify the scope of protection of the PDO, the description of the product and the method of obtaining it must be considered, both in the specifications and in the registration application. These provide an objective indicator to investigate whether the products are similar or comparable. Supreme Court of Cassation, Civil Division, Section 1 (Corte Suprema di Cassazione, Sez. 1 Civ.), decision of 20 March 2023 – 7937/2022
