【摘要】：注册商标连续三年停止使用撤销制度(“商标不使用撤销制度”)是清理已获得注册的长期未使用商标、释放具有垄断性稀缺资源、减少商标争议和冲突的重要制度。随着知识产权战略的推广,商标在企业运营中的价值日益增加,商标的纠纷也随之增多,商标不使用撤销制度开始得到广泛的应用。但我国商标法对于该制度的规定较为笼统,在实践中引发了许多分歧和争议。为进一步健全和完善制度,笔者在系统分析国外立法状况和相关典型判决的基础上,结合制度设立目的以及国内相关经典案例,运用典型案例分析、规范分析与实证分析结合等方法,从制度的设计要点与价值分析、使用行为的认定标准、制度对于答辩的规范以及对驰名商标的特殊保护角度,全面分析注册商标连续三年停止使用撤销制度,以弥补国内缺乏对该制度系统性评价分析的不足。目前我国商标不使用撤销制度在设计上存在着一系列的问题和缺陷,可在借鉴国际经验和相关理论的基础上,结合我国实践,促使其逐步健全和完善。笔者通过比较分析国外立法情况和相关典型案例,对撤销制度整体和局部流程进行了系统全面地梳理,研究结果表明,我国对于该制度的规定过于笼统,建议进一步针对制度的设计要点做出具体详细的规定。关于使用行为认定标准的研究表明,我国法律上对于“使用”的认定过于宽泛,不符合经济发展的要求,对商标实践的指导性较弱,建议我国应从使用主体、使用对象、用于广告宣传、商品包装等流通环节的使用等角度,全面严格界定在商标撤销制度中能够产生维持商标注册效力的“使用”行为。同样,对于撤销制度答辩规范的系统分析研究也发现,我国在法律上缺少对于不使用正当理由的判断标准,需要建立更为合理的规范和标准,建议可以借鉴国外的判断标准理论对于不同的理由的正当性作出考量。此外,针对驰名商标的研究显示出,我国目前商标撤销制度尚未提供对于驰名商标的特殊保护,建议可以采纳“联想可能性”作为判断标准来评价驰名商标的闲置商标,以积极的方式来保护驰名商标的显著性和商誉。
[Abstract]:The system of discontinuation and revocation of registered trademark for three consecutive years ("trademark non-use revocation system") is an important system to clean up the long term unused trademark that has been registered, to release scarce resources with monopoly nature, and to reduce the disputes and conflicts of trademark. With the promotion of intellectual property strategy, the value of trademark in the operation of enterprises is increasing day by day, the disputes of trademark are also increasing, and the system of non-use and revocation of trademark has been widely used. However, the provisions of the trademark law of our country are relatively general, which has caused many differences and disputes in practice. In order to perfect and perfect the system, on the basis of the systematic analysis of foreign legislative situation and relevant typical judgments, combining with the purpose of institution establishment and relevant domestic classic cases, the author uses typical cases to analyze. Combining normative analysis with empirical analysis, from the system design key points and value analysis, the use behavior identification standard, the system to defend the norm and the special protection angle to the well-known trademark, In order to make up for the lack of systematic evaluation and analysis of the system, this paper analyzes the revocation system of registered trademark for three consecutive years. At present, there are a series of problems and defects in the design of the system of non-use and revocation of trademark in our country, which can be perfected and perfected step by step on the basis of drawing lessons from international experience and related theories and combining with our country's practice. Through the comparative analysis of foreign legislation and relevant typical cases, the author systematically and comprehensively combed the whole and partial process of revocation system. The research results show that the regulations of this system are too general in our country. It is suggested that specific and detailed regulations should be made for the main design points of the system. The research on the standard of using behavior indicates that the legal recognition of "use" in our country is too broad and does not meet the requirements of economic development, and the guidance to trademark practice is weak. It is suggested that our country should take the subject of use and the object of use from the perspective of the main body of use and the object of use. From the perspective of advertising and the use of circulation links such as commodity packaging, this paper strictly defines the "use" behavior which can maintain the effectiveness of trademark registration in the system of trademark revocation. In the same way, the systematic analysis of the defense norm of the revocation system also finds that our country lacks in law the judgment standard for not using proper reasons, so it is necessary to establish more reasonable norms and standards. The suggestion can draw lessons from the judgment standard theory of foreign countries to consider the legitimacy of different reasons. In addition, the research on well-known trademark shows that the current trademark revocation system of our country has not provided special protection for well-known trademark, and it is suggested that "associative possibility" should be adopted as the judgment criterion to evaluate the idle trademark of well-known trademark. To protect the significance and goodwill of well-known trademarks in a positive way.
