域名持有人与商标权人的利益平衡

An interest balance of domain names holders and trademarks owners

域名是网络时代的必然产物,域名纠纷主要表现为商标权人状告域名持有人,现有的司法解释和司法实践更多地倾向于保护商标权人的利益。但是,域名权是一种独立的知识产权,域名持有人拥有的是和商标权同等地位的权利,因此应该公平、公正地对待两者的冲突,不得给予普通注册商标扩大的保护,并慎重地将驰名商标保护扩大到网络空间,以保障域名持有人与商标权人的利益平衡。

Domain name is a certain outcome in the Internet. The main issue of domain names is that trademarks owners accuse domain names holders. There are inclined to protect the interests of the former in the judicial interpretation and in the judicial practice. But the right of domain name is a kind of independent intellectual property,which is equal to the right of trademark. Therefore, in order to balance their interests, we should settle the issue fairly and justly and follow some principles such as not to provide the ordinary registered trademarks with expanded protection and to broaden the protection of well-known trademarks cautiously.
