34It must, first, be recalled that, notwithstanding the principle that Regulation No 44/2001 — and, as from 10 January 2015, Regulation No 1215/2012 — applies to court proceedings relating to an EU trade mark, Article 94(2) of Regulation No 207/2009 precludes, with respect, in particular to actions concerning the infringement of such a mark, the application of certain provisions of Regulation No 44/2001, such as the application of the rules contained in Articles 2 and 4 and Article 5(3) of the latter regulation. In the light of that exclusion, the jurisdiction of the EU trade mark courts referred to in Article 95(1) of Regulation No 207/2009 to hear actions claiming an infringement of an EU trade mark follows from rules directly provided for by Regulation No 207/2009, which have the character of lex specialis in relation to the rules provided for by Regulation No 44/2001 (judgments of 5 June 2014, Coty Germany, C‑360/12, EU:C:2014:1318, paragraphs 26 and 27, and of 18 May 2017, Hummel Holding, C‑617/15, EU:C:2017:390, paragraph 26).
