论加入世贸组织后我国原产地名称的法律保护

On the legal protection about the name of the original place of product in our country after our entry into WTO

原产地名称是产地内经营者享有的一项集体权利。由于我国对原产地名称的保护起步晚,保护不力,致使许多原产地名称或作为普通商标被注册,或演变为同类商品的通用名称,或只强调产地的真实性而忽视产品质量,结果造成了原产地名称在使用过程中的垄断、滥用以及因商品质量下降而退化为货源标记。应将原产地名称纳入商标法保护体系,并严格界定原产地名称的含义,加强原产地名称的使用管理。

5B The name of origin is a collect right enjoyed by the labors of the place of the product. Because we start late in the area of protection of the name of the place of the original product, and not good at protection, a lot of names of origin are registered as common trademarks or change into the current general names of the kindred commodity, and some producers only lay stress on the authenticity of the place of origin but ignore the quality of the products. As a result in the process of usage some names of origin are monopolized, abused and some degenerate into the mark of the source of commodity. Name of origin should be taken into the protection system of trademark law, the meaning of the name of origin should be strictly defined, and the use management of it should be strengthened.
