论商标恶意抢注问题

The Problem of Malicious Cybersquatting

摘要: 商标日益成为当代经济生活中的不可或缺的一部分，对于商标权在民事权利中的地位也不断提升。而在法律加大对商标权人的权利的保护的同时，却忽略了对商标权滥用的限制。虽然我国《商标法》第4条、第32条和第44条第一款对商标权的滥用有所限制，但却没有细化其要件导致在司法实务中的使用困难。而目前随处可见的商标恶意抢注现象就是没有合理限制商标权的滥用的最直接的表现。商标抢注人往往通过其抢注的商标向商标使用者索取高额使用费或者以此抢注商标换取高额的和解费用，这种现象有违商标法保护商标权利的立法本意，并且也与民法中诚实信用原则相背离。本文旨在从商标恶意抢注为切入点，分析我国商标法中对于商标权利滥用制度的缺失，并提出对应的建议，以求通过对于制度的完善对遏制恶意抢注现象有一些帮助。

Abstract: Trademarks have increasingly become an indispensable part of contemporary economic life, and the status of trademark rights in civil rights has also been continuously improved. While the law increases the protection of the rights of trademark owners, it ignores the restrictions on the abuse of trademark rights. Although Articles 4, 32 and 44 of the Trademark Law of our country restrict the abuse of trademark rights, they do not refine their requirements and lead to difficulties in the use of judicial practice. The phenomenon of trademark cybersquatting that can be seen everywhere is the most direct manifestation of the abuse of trademark rights. Trademark squatters often claim high royalties from trademark users through their squatting trademarks or rush to trade trademarks for high settlement fees. This phenomenon is contrary to the legislative intent of trademark protection of trademark rights, and also the principle of good faith in civil law is contrary to each other. This paper aims to analyze the lack of trademark abuse system in China's trademark law from the point of view of trademark squatting, and propose corresponding suggestions, in order to help to curb the phenomenon of malicious cybersquatting through the perfection of the system.
