构建我国商标共存制度的法律思考

Legal Consideration of Establishing the Trademark Coexist System in our Country

我国现行商标法中没有商标共存的规定,但在我国司法实践中却频频出现商标共存的判决或裁定①。此种现象的存在,一方面冲击着我国知识产权"法定主义"的权威,另一方面,由于法官思考角度不同而得出的不同判决也在破坏着我国知识产权司法的严肃性。因此,尽快建立商标共存制度迫在眉睫。在对商标共存概念和商标共存合理性分析的基础上,通过借鉴国外商标共存的立法和实践,对构建我国商标共存法律制度提出初步的法律建议。

There is no trademark coexisting regulation in China＇s current trademark law. But trademark coexisting judgment or ruling repeatedly appears in our judicial practice. On one hand, this phenomenon impacts the ＂legal doctrine＂ authority of intellectual property law in China. On the other hand, different decisions due to the judge＇s different thinking are also destroying our country＇s judicial seriousness of intellectual property. Therefore, to establish trademark coexisting system as soon as possible is imminent. Based on the analysis of the concept and the rationality of trademark coexistence, through the reference of foreign trademark coexisting legislation and practice, this paper puts forward a preliminary legal advice of the establishment of the trademark coexist system.
