服务商标入刑问题探析

Analysis on the Criminal Law Protection of Service Trade-marks

《刑法修正案(十一)》将假冒注册商标罪的规制对象扩至服务商标,进一步完善了我国知识产权刑法保护体系。然而,区别于商品实体化,服务具有无形性、个性化等特点,刑法第213条关于“同一服务”、“使用行为”以及入罪标准等问题亟待明确。本文意图厘清服务及服务商标的概念与特点,阐述服务商标的刑法规制必要性,同时以法秩序统一、罪刑法定原则以及刑法谦抑性为导向,结合刑民规范与裁判,为服务商标的具体适用提供解释路径。

The Eleventh Amendment to the Criminal Law extends the scope of regulation for the crime of counterfeiting registered trademarks to service trademarks, further improving China’s criminal law protection system for intellectual property. Unlike physical products, services are intangible and personalized. Article 213 of the Criminal Law requires clarification on issues such as the same service, criminal behavior, and ad-mission criteria. This article aims to clarify the concept and characteristics of service trademarks, and elaborate on the necessity of protecting service trademarks. Guided by the unity of legal order, the principle of legality in crimes and punishments, and the modesty of criminal law, an explanato-ry path for the specific application of service trademarks can be provided by considering criminal and civil norms and judgments.
