论涉外定牌加工商标侵权问题的海关处理

Studies on the Customs Determination of Trademark Infringement in Original Equipment Manufacture

涉外定牌加工产业一直是我国外贸经济发展的重要组成部分,但对于涉外定牌加工产品是否构成侵犯商标权的问题在学界、司法界及执法实践中一直未有定论。在海关实施知识产权保护历程中,曾出现一些引起社会广泛争议的典型案例,甚至一度影响定牌加工企业接受国外订单。2013年《商标法》进行第三次修正并于2014年5月正式施行,距今已有一年时间,借此之机再次评析相关案例并探讨海关应如何处理涉外定牌加工产品侵权问题具有重要现实意义。

Original Equipment Manufacture（ OEM） is a dominant part of foreign trade and economic growth in our country. However,the answer to the question whether OEM constitutes the infringement of the trademark still remains up in the air in academic and judicial circle as well as in law enforcement. In the course of the Customs protection for IPR,there are some typical cases which have caused widespread controversy and even affected the business of OEM enterprises to accept foreign orders. Trademark Law was amended for the third time in 2013 and was officially implemented in May2014. One year has gone by so far. It is of great practical significance to review and re- analyze related cases and to probe into how Customs should deal with infringement issues in OEM.
