Territorial jurisdiction of the European Union trade mark courts

Where, in accordance with Article 125 of the Regulation on the European Union trade mark, German European Union trade mark courts have international jurisdiction, those provisions shall apply accordingly to the territorial jurisdiction of these courts which would be applicable if the application was an application for a trade mark filed with the German Patent and Trade Mark Office or the trade mark was a trade mark registered in the Register of the German Patent and Trade Mark Office. Where jurisdiction is not established on this basis, then the court shall have territorial jurisdiction with which the claimant has his general venue.
