浅议商标权无效宣告的责任问题——从“上岛咖啡”案引发的思考

On the Liability of Avoidance Declaration about Trademark Privileges——Some Reflections on the Case of “Shangdao Coffee”

商标权的无效宣告,对商标权人会造成一定的经济损失,包括商标权的丧失和经营该商标所投入的人力、物力和财力的损失。笔者认为,因商标局的行为造成商标权的无效宣告,商标局应对此承担赔偿或补偿责任,但现行商标法对此却没有明确的规定,这种缺失显然有悖于法律的公平,有必要进行完善。

Declaration of avoidance about trademark privileges may cause economic losses to the person concerned, possibly including the loss of trademark privileges and labor force, material and wealth to manage the trademark. The writer argues that trademark office must bear the liability of compensation if due to its wrong action to declare avoidance of trademark privileges. But the present trademark law has no regulation about thfs case, which is against justfce of law and must be amended.
