注册商标无效宣告案件救济模式之完善

The Improvement for the Relief Model of the Invalidation of Registered Trademark

以行政诉讼案件审理模式作为注册商标无效宣告的救济程序,不仅无法有效回应当事人诉求,还会浪费有限的行政与司法资源。此外,民事侵权程序与无效宣告二元分立体制易造成当事人乃至公共利益的损失。从行为本质来看,商标评审机构复审决定符合行政复议的特征,可以继续适用行政诉讼,但需扩展司法变更权的行使范围。商标评审机构裁定属于行政裁决,应当改采民事诉讼救济途径。在商标民事侵权诉讼中,法院可以在个案中直接认定商标有效性,达到一次性化解纠纷的目的。

Taking administrative litigation cases as the relief procedure for invalidation of registered trademarks not only fails to effectively respond to the parties’ demands,but also wastes limited administrative and judicial resources.In addition,the separation system of infringement and invalidation procedure might cause the loss of the parties and even public interest.From the nature of the behavior,the trademark review decision conforms to the characteristics of administrative reconsideration,so the administrative litigation can continue to be applied,but the modification judgment needs to be expanded.The trademark ruling proceeding fits the characteristic of administrative adjudication and should be remedied by civil litigation.In a trademark civil infringement lawsuit,the court could directly determine the validity of the trademark in a case to achieve the purpose of resolving disputes at one time.
