地理标志证明商标侵权认定问题研究

Research on The Infringement Determination of Geographical Indications Registered As Certification Mark

囿于缺乏成熟的理论支持及审判经验,我国法院在审理地理标志证明商标侵权案件时,思路存在问题。为此,有必要总结司法实践地理标志证明商标侵权认定中的焦点问题,对地理标志证明商标的权利边界、侵权判断标准及正当使用方式进行分析。为正确认定地理标志证明商标是否构成侵权,应厘清证明商标与普通商标的区别,重构地理标志证明商标侵权认定的思路;厘清地理标志与证明商标的关系,反思将地理标志纳入证明商标保护模式的合理性。

Confined by the lack of mature theoretical support and trial experience, China＇s courts have some problems on their trim ideas when they try the infringement cases of geographical indications registered as certification mark. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize the focus issues existing in the judicial practice of the infringement determination of geographical indications registered as certification mark, and analyze the right boundary of geographical indications registered as certification mark, infringement determination criteria and the way of proper use. To solve this problem, we should clearly distinguish the certification mark and the ordinary mark, and reconstruct the determination thinking of the infringement of geographical indications registered as certification mark. At the same time, we should clarify the relationship between the geographical indications and the certification mark, and reflect the rationality of bringing the geographical indications into the protection mode of certification mark.
