64The situations coming within the scope of Article 6(1)(c) must, however, be limited to those which correspond to the objective of that provision. However, as Portakabin and the Commission have correctly observed, the objective of Article 6(1)(c) of Directive 89/104 is to enable providers of goods or services, which are supplementary to the goods or services offered by a trade mark proprietor, to use that mark in order to inform the public of the practical link between their goods or services and those of the proprietor of the mark (see, to that effect, Gillette Company and Gillette Group Finland, paragraphs 33 and 34).
