A statement of objection shall be admissible only if it: either shows non-compliance with the conditions referred to in Article 2, or shows that the proposed registration of a name would jeopardize the existence of an entirely or partly identical name or trade mark or the existence of products which are legally on the market at the time of publication of this regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities, or indicates the features which demonstrate that the name whose registration is applied for is generic in nature.
