Is there a way to use .apply/.unapply on Generic objects?

I am using a Generic Mapper to map a Model from a DBModel in scala 2.11

it has a method defined as:

def fromModelToDBModel(m: T) : R

where T is the type of the Model and R is the type of the DBModel.

This method is implemented the same way in almost all inheriting objects, ie:

override def fromModelToDBModel(p: RawModel): RawDBModelV1 = {

val values = RawModel.unapply(p).get
val makeDBModel = (RawDBModelV1.apply _).tupled
makeDBModel(values)
}

Is it possible to somehow define a generic object in the base Trait, so I can call apply/unapply on it?
