我国商标法修改的最新进展及其完善研究(上)

Research on the Recent Development of the Amendment of China's Trademark Law and Its Further Upgrading

商标法是保障市场经济健康发展的重要法律。随着形势变化,我国《商标法》滞后性日益明显。2013年8月第三次修正的《商标法》简化了商标注册申请程序,便利了申请人及时获得商标注册,规范了商标使用行为,提高了对商标专用权的保护力度了,强化了商标法律制度规范市场公平竞争秩序的功能和作用,同时注重协调和平衡商标法律关系,实现了私权保护和维护公共利益的有效平衡。我国修改后的《商标法》是一部兼具本体化、国际化和现代化特色的知识产权法。它的实施必将对中国市场经济发展发挥极为重要的作用。同时,囿于多方面限制,该法仍然存在若干值得进一步完善的问题,需要加以研究并提出对策。
