[F11. A term, for which an application is lodged and which is wholly or partially homonymous with that of a traditional term already protected under this Chapter shall be protected with due regard to local and traditional usage and the risk of confusion.
A homonymous term which misleads consumers as to the nature, quality or the true origin of the products shall not be registered even if the term is accurate.
The use of a protected homonymous term shall be subject to there being a sufficient distinction in practice between the homonym protected subsequently and the traditional term already listed in the electronic database ‘ E-Bacchus ’ , having regard to the need to treat the producers concerned in an equitable manner and not to mislead the consumer.]
2.Paragraph 1 shall apply mutatis mutandis for traditional terms protected before 1 August 2009, which are partially homonymous with a protected designation of origin or geographical indication or a wine grape variety name or its synonym listed in Annex XV.
