我国商标权注册取得模式存在的问题及其完善路径——基于商标使用视角的分析

Problems Existing in the Acquisition Mode of Trademark Right Registration in China and Its Improvement Path——Analysis Based on the Perspective of Trademark Use

中国商标权注册取得的立法模式过于强调商标权的注册取得,忽略了商标使用在商标权取得过程中的重要意义,从而引发了商标申请注册案件大量积压、商标抢注之风盛行、恶意商标异议、无效宣告、侵权诉讼案件时有发生等一系列问题。实际上,我国在商标注册的申请、审查、异议、无效宣告等一系列程序的制度设计中,都体现出了对商标使用这一要件的考量。为此,需要继续强化商标使用在我国商标权取得制度中的重要地位,明确意图使用作为商标注册申请前提,强化商标注册人的使用说明义务,并为提起商标异议、无效宣告、侵权诉讼的商标注册人设置商标使用的义务。
