【摘要】 近年来随着商品经济的迅猛发展和人民生活水平的逐步提高,商标在商品经济市场环境中作用越来越大、价值越来越高。但目前社会上商标保护意识总体来说尚属薄弱,部分恶意竞争者抢先注册他人已经使用并具有一定知名度的商标以达到盗用他人商誉或逼迫原商标使用人高价赎回的目的。对此我国商标法规定若为恶意抢注,则权利人可向商标评审委员会申请撤销该注册商标。目前以抢注知名、驰名商标而引发的涉及申请撤销商标的案件日益增多,申请将已注册的商标予以撤销,是法律出于维护市场正常竞争秩序的目的而赋予在先权利人的一项重量级权利,一旦滥权必将缩减一国之内社会公众在商业活动中自由选择商标和商号的权利。目前在我国司法实践中,对案件普遍倾向于扩大在先权利人商标的保护范围和保护力度,为了达到这一目的常在判决说理部分强硬随意地予以论断、甚至对法律进行脱离体系的孤立解释,破坏了商标法的利益平衡模式。正确的做法是,在适用法律时必须坚持知识产权法定主义,严格把关“混淆”、“联想”、“有一定影响”、“不正当手段”等相关概念,避免本制度成为某些地方企业作为限制他人竞争、一家独大的工具。目前我国司法实践在与此相关的具体操作细节上尚缺乏统一认识,具体理论研究上也是众说纷纭。本文借鉴当前学术研究成果,从基本概念入手,分别阐释了界定诸问题的法律要件和认定标准,并展开对相关国内典型案例的讨论,以期为我国完善立法,指导司法实践提供可资参考的理论支持。
【Abstract】 As a result that the living standard has been improved a lot in the past few decades, the trademark has grown its importance drastically in the recent years. However, people’s sense of protecting the trademark is still weak. For example, some people intentionally register other people’s trademark in order to cheat on the consumers or make profit from gouge others to redeem their own brand at a high price. In order to stop this action, the trademark law states that: if someone was believed to register other entities trademark for profit, an obligee could appeal to the Trademark Appeal Board, to get the object trademark canceled. Nowadays, increasing number of such cases makes this law an important one, although it is necessary to grant the an obligee some rights for the sake of keeping the trademark market under control, an abuse of this law will jeopardize the freedom of using trademarks. In fact, in the implementation of this law, people tend to extend the protection improperly. Sometimes they make conclusion without carefully reasoning, sometimes reasoning without applying the law itself, all these behaviors weaken the effectiveness of trademark law. The correct way of using this law, is to stick to the law itself when we are cope with these issues, and clarify the definition of“Confusion”、“Association”、“Have a certain influence、“Improper means”before we make any judgments. Otherwise, the law itself could be used as a shield to avoid normal competition, which hurt others at the same time. There weren’t much work have being down about this topic, nor any agreement has been reached yet. So, the contribution of this paper, is trying to give some theoretical analysis, combined with case study, in order to help legislation and implementation of the trademark law.
