25Thus, the scope of Article 13(1)(a) of Regulation No 510/2006 and the same article of Regulation No 1151/2012 must necessarily be distinguished from that relating to the other rules on the protection of registered names contained in Article 13(1)(b) to (d) of those regulations. In particular, Article 13(1)(b) of Regulation No 510/2006 and the same article of Regulation No 1151/2012 prohibit actions which, unlike those referred to in point (a), do not use either directly or indirectly the protected name itself, but suggest it in such a way that it causes the consumer to establish a sufficiently close connection with that name (see by analogy, concerning Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2008 on the definition, description, presentation, labelling and the protection of geographical indications of spirit drinks and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 1576/89 (OJ 2008 L 39, p. 16), judgment of 7 June 2018, Scotch Whisky Association, C‑44/17, EU:C:2018:415, paragraph 33).
