关于《反不正当竞争法修订草案(征求意见稿)》第五条第二款的几点建议

Advice on Article 5bis of the Revised Draft(published for advice) of Anti-Unfair Competition Law

《反不正当竞争法修订草案(征求意见稿)》第五条对利用商业标识实施市场混淆的行为给予了规制,其第二款对商业标识的定义有待完善。商业标识系区分商品或服务的标识,用来指示商品或服务的来源,而非区分商品生产者或经营者本身。某个标识只有使用在商品或服务上,才具有商业标识的意义。反不正当竞争法保护的商业标识应当具有显著性及知名度。确定知名度时,应当对商品或服务上标识的知名度进行考量,而非商品或服务本身的知名度。

Article 5 of the Revised Draft(published for advice) of Anti-Unfair Competition Law provides protection against confusion by using commercial indications. The definition of commercial indication prescribed by Article 5bis needs to be amended. A commercial indication individualizes the goods or services, indicating the source thereof, rather than individualizes an enterprise itself. An indication can constitute a commercial indication only when it is applied to goods or services, and the protection against confusion should only be available under Anti-Unfair Competition Law if it meets the requirement of distinctiveness and high reputation. The reputation should be considered based on the indication itself, rather than the goods or services on which the indication is used.
