Exhaustion of the rights conferred by a Community trade
mark
1. A Community trade mark shall not entitle the proprietor to
prohibit its use in relation to goods which have been put on the
market in the Community under that trade mark by the
proprietor or with his consent.
2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply where there exist legitimate
reasons for the proprietor to oppose further commercialisation
of the goods, especially where the condition of the goods is
changed or impaired after they have been put on the market.
