论商标权的边界

On The Boundary of the Trademark

商标法授予商标权的目的在于促进本国产业发展,因而确定商标权的边界时必须严格坚持商标权地域性原则;在申请商标注册程序或者注册商标争议程序中,商标审查机关应当通过严格解释商标的近似性以防止不适当扩张商标权的边界;司法机关则必须通过在特定条件下对商标权人的停止侵害请求权进行限制的方式,削弱甚至消解商标权的排他性。

The purpose in granting exclusive right to trademark by the trademark law is to promote the domestic industrial development; therefore, it is vital to stick to the principle of territoriality when defi ning the boundary of the trademark. In the processes of trademark application or the registered trademark disputes, the trademark examination organs should interpret the trademark similarity in a strict way, so as not to improperly expand the trademark's scope. The judiciary should, under certain circumstances, restrict the trademark owners' injunction relief, in order to weaken or even dissolve the trademark's exclusivity.
