论驰名商标抢注及其法律规制

On Registering Famous Trademarks and Law Regulations

驰名商标抢注是一种危害驰名商标的行为,它不仅损害了使用人的利益,而且还扰乱了国家乃至国际经济秩序。因此,必须运用法律予以制止。有关国际公约对驰名商标抢注仅有原则性的禁止规定,我国商标法根据我国驰名商标抢注的严峻形势,明确提出了禁止驰名商标抢注,并规定了使用人实施自我保护的手段,这是驰名商标反抢注立法的一个显著进步。然而,我国的商标法也存在着一些亟待完善的问题,如重注册轻使用、申请注册条件过宽、驰名商标抢注行为性质不明和抢注人法律责任过轻等。

The rushing practice to register famous trademark is an act which has not only impaired the owner＇ s interest but also disrupted national and international economic order. Therefore,it must be stopped by using law. There is only a principal rule to prohibit the rushing to registration of famous trademark in the relevant international conventions. According to the grim situation of our famous trademarks being rushed to registration, the law of trademark has definite rules for prohibiting rushing registration of the trademarks and regulating the means of self- protection for owners, which is the remarkable progress in opposing to the rushing practice to register famous trademarks. However,there are also a number of issues in our law to be perfected,such as emphasizing registration but despising using too free registration conditions,the unknown nature and the over - light duty for person of rushing to register famous trademarks.
