【摘要】：我国商标法第一章中对本法的立法目的加以规定,本法是为了加强商标管理,保护商标专用权,促使生产、经营者保证商品和服务质量,维护商标信誉以及其他目的。我国对商标专用权的取得采用的是注册主义原则,对于商标的取得,只要符合我国商标法的有关规定,经我国商标主管机关核准注册后则获得商标专用权。因我国商标取得方式方便并不冗杂,在我国社会实践中,有很多国内市场主体去抢注商标等着通过商标使用人侵权来获得侵权赔偿,有的市场主体大量注册商标则是为了在后期社会活动中通过转让来获取高额转让费,也有的市场主体只注册而不用。这种抢注、闲置或囤积商标的行为不利于市场竞争,造成了社会资源的浪费,也违背了诚实信用原则。我国商标法设立了注册商标连续三年不使用撤销制度,对于注册商标连续三年不使用的又没有不使用正当理由的,任何单位或者个人均可以申请撤销此商标。该制度对于解决商标注册主义原则所带来的弊端具有重要的意义。但我国对于此制度规定的并不是详细,在制度方面的理论研究还不是很彻底。商标最基本的功能是识别功能,商标的识别功能体现在商标使用的过程中,商标的价值也是在商标使用过程中积累起来的。商标的使用对注册商标有重要的意义。本文用比较研究等研究方法对注册商标不使用撤销制度予以深入研究,明确商标权利人使用商标必须是基于真实使用意图而非象征性使用,对此应当予以司法解释或立法完善。我国法律明文规定如有正当理由,则可对抗此制度,对此,需要对正当理由更加细化,同时,在立法实践的基础上,当出现申请不使用撤销的情形下,注册商标权利人对正当理由进行说明的过程中,还需证明申请撤三起止时间向前推算两年的商标使用情况。完善商标注册原则,有效的借鉴美国商标法的相关规定,在申请商标注册的过程中要求申请人证明使用的意图。在商标续展阶段,权利人应当提交商标使用的具体情况,根据立法实践,规定在续展申请日前两年内有真实使用即可申请续展。此外,我国商标主管机关可以成立一个专门审查商标使用情况的部门,对于属于法律规定撤销情形的注册商标不仅应当及时撤销,还应及时更新商标名称备选库。目前,该制度在我国的利用率还是很低,我们应当适时地对该制度进行宣传。研究此制度不仅对我国立法实践有重要意义,对市场经济秩序的正当竞争也有重要影响。在此,笔者希望对我国以后的立法、司法实践有一定的借鉴意义。
[Abstract]:In the first chapter of the Trademark Law of our country, the legislative purpose of this Law is to strengthen the administration of trademark, protect the exclusive right of trademark, promote the production, guarantee the quality of goods and services, safeguard the reputation of trademark and other purposes. The principle of registration is adopted in the acquisition of trademark exclusive right in our country. As long as the acquisition of trademark conforms to the relevant provisions of our trademark law, the trademark exclusive right will be obtained after being approved and registered by the trademark authority in our country. Because the way of obtaining trademark in our country is convenient and not jumbled, in our social practice, there are many domestic market main bodies to rush the trademark and so on to obtain the tort compensation through the trademark user infringement. Some market subjects register a large number of trademarks in order to obtain high transfer fees through transfer in later social activities, while others only register but do not use. This kind of behavior is not conducive to market competition, resulting in the waste of social resources and violating the principle of good faith. The Trademark Law of our country has set up the system of not using the registered trademark for three consecutive years. Any unit or individual may apply for revocation of the trademark if the registered trademark is not used for three consecutive years and without proper reasons. This system is of great significance to solve the malpractice brought by trademark registration principle. However, the regulation of this system in our country is not detailed, the theoretical research in the system is not very thorough. The most basic function of trademark is the recognition function. The recognition function of trademark is embodied in the process of trademark use, and the value of trademark is accumulated in the process of trademark use. The use of trademarks is of great significance to registered trademarks. This paper makes a deep study on the system of non-use and revocation of registered trademark by means of comparative study. It is clear that the use of trademark must be based on the real intention of use rather than symbolic use, which should be judicially interpreted or legislated to perfect. The law of our country explicitly stipulates that if there is a legitimate reason, it can be opposed to this system. In response to this, it is necessary to further refine the justification. At the same time, on the basis of legislative practice, when the application does not use revocation, In the process of explaining the legitimate reasons, the registered trademark owner should also prove that the application for the withdrawal of three starting and ending time extrapolates the use of the trademark for two years. Improve the principle of trademark registration, effectively use the relevant provisions of the trademark law of the United States, in the process of applying for trademark registration, the applicant is required to prove the intention to use. In the stage of trademark renewal, the obligee shall submit the specific situation of trademark use, according to the legislative practice, the application for renewal can be made within two years before the date of application for renewal. In addition, the competent trademark authority of our country may set up a special department to examine the use of trademark. For the registered trademark that belongs to the situation of revocation stipulated by law, the registered trademark should be revoked not only in time, but also in time to update the trademark name alternative library. At present, the utilization rate of the system in our country is still very low, we should publicize the system timely. The study of this system is not only of great significance to the legislative practice of our country, but also to the fair competition of the market economy order. Here, the author hopes to have certain reference significance to our country later legislation, the judicial practice.
