商标侵权中销售商品行为的定性

《商标法》将商标使用侵权限定于生产领域,并将销售商品行为作为单独的一类侵权行为,这种做法导致了学界关于销售商品行为究竟属于直接侵权还是间接侵权的争议。应以商标禁止权为基础确定商标权专有权的范围,同时应以商标使用作为区分直接侵权和间接侵权的标准。因此,销售商品行为本应属于商标的使用行为,本质上应属于直接侵权。上述将销售商品行为排除于商标使用行为之外的做法,造成了商标侵权类型体系乃至商标权利体系的紊乱,进而导致了若干商标立法、司法和理论上的混乱状况。为此,应当还原销售商品行为的商标使用本性。

The Nature of the Sale Behavior in Trademark Infringement：Also a Review of the Logic Dilemma of Article 52 of Trademark Law

The infringement of trademark is limited to production field by the Trademark Law, so the law treats the sale of goods as a single kind of infringement. This mode evokes different opinions on the nature of the behavior of sale of goods among scholars ; they focus on whether it belongs to the direct infringement or indirect infringement. To determine the scope of the trademark exclusive rights, we should choose the prohibition right of the trademark rights as our foundation; at the same time, and we should choose the concept of the ＂use of trademarks~＇ as the standard to distinguish these two kinds of infringement. The behavior of sale of goods should be qualified as the act of use of trademark, therefore it should be a kind of direct infringement. However, this mode causes disorder of the system of trademark infringement and trademark rights. There may lead to chaos in the legislation, judicature and academic research. Therefore, we should restitute the nature of the behavior sale of goods to the use of trademark.
