【摘要】 域名是易于识记、与IP地址相对应的网络地址。随着互联网和电子商务的发展，域名数量日益激增，其商业价值飞速攀升，而域名与在先知识产权，尤其是与商标权的冲突成为一个令人瞩目的法律问题。如何维护商标权人与域名权人利益的平衡，有效地预防、减少和解决这类纠纷，成为许多学者探讨争论的焦点。本文试从商标权保护的角度，逐层深入地探讨了网络域名与商标的法律冲突及解决途径。 域名与商标冲突的原因是复杂的，主要是由于域名与商标本身所具有的特征方面、注册体制方面存在的较大差异，以及相互间沟通协调的缺乏，在加上目前法律体制的滞后，致使二者之间的冲突不可避免。 域名注册使用中对商标侵权，最突出的表现就是域名抢注商标侵权行为。在认定该类行为侵权时，必须从侵权对象、抢注数量、域名注册人的主观意图几个方面进行事实认定，以商标法和反不正当竞争法作为法律依据。域名注册使用中对商标侵权的另一个表现是为使用而注册与他人商标相同或相似的域名的情况。在认定是否侵权时，要根据商标是普通商标还是驰名商标来具体分析。普通商标只能获得有限保护和驰名商标则可以获得特殊保护，这就使域名构成对这两类商标侵权的条件也不同。总之，商标在域名领域的保护应当主要考虑域名注册者的目的和商标本身的实际情况， 有效地预防及解决商标域名纠纷势在必行。对于域名纠纷的预防，可以通过建立和完善域名注册人和域名注册组织之间的域名注册合同来实现。对于域名与商标纠纷的解决，主要有两种方式：传统诉讼解决方式和非诉讼救济方式——域名争议行政程序解决机制。诉讼解决方式是最终的、效力最高的解决方式，但由于目前相关法律的不健全甚至缺失，使这种方式存在一定的局限性。而域名纠纷的民间解决机制虽然在争议解决的范围、法律效力方面也有一定局限性，但具有低成本、迅捷高效的优点，具有重要的法律价值，在目前的域名纠纷解决中发挥了重要的作用，是诉讼手段的有益补充。因此，域名纠纷预防解决机制的建立和完善十分重要，而目前最重要的是在于构建和完善相关法律。更多还原

With the development of internet and electric business, the number of registered domain names are rising rapidly,also is the commercial value of them.The conflicts between domain names and intellectual property .especially those between domain names and trademarks have become a serious legal problem.Rresearchers have different views on how to keep the balance between trademark right and domain name right,and how to prevent,reduce and resolve the conflicts.The essay has tried to discuss the above issue from the angle of trademarks’ protection.The reasons of the conflicts are much complicated.The main reasons exist in the following aspects:the distinct differences in characteristics and registering system of domain names and trademarks, the lacks of coordination between them,and the delayed legal system at present.AU of the above make the conflicts inavoidable.Among the acts of registered domain names infringing upon trademarks, Cybersquatting acts are the most popular ones. When we determine whether it is a cybersquatting behavior ,we should consider the facts of the victim,the registered domain name number,and the registrants’ intentions .And we should make a judge based on "trademarks law"and "anti Unfair Competition Law".The another kind of torts is that domain names registered for use infringe upon trademarks.To this kind of torts,the judge should be made according to whether the trademark being an ordinary trademark or an famous trademark. The ordinary trademarks should get limited protection however the famous ones should get special protection. Thus,the infringing conditions of the two kind of trademarks are different Correspondingly. In general, trademarks’protection in domain names space should mainly consider the facts of the registrants’ intentions and trademarks’characters.It has been an urgent need to prevent and resolve domain names and trademarks disputes effectively.In order to prevention, We should make domain name registrants build and perfect registering contracts with the registering organizations .And there are two forms of resolution to the disputes.One is through legal proceedings,the other is through non-legal更多还原
