诚实信用原则之于商标法

通过对商标法实施近30年历史的总结,论证了诚实信用原则在商标法中的基本原则地位和作用,检讨了现行法和修订送审稿、征求意见稿在贯彻诚实信用原则方面存在的不足,并提出了改进的思路。认为应提高对抢注、恶意异议等不正当行为和侵权行为危害性的认识,强化对商标权的保护;关于确权程序的规定应当增加责任条款,并加大对侵权行为的打击力度。

Good Faith Principle in Trademark Law

By the overview of trademark law’s thirty-year enforcement, this paper argues that the good faith principle plays an important role, and points out the insufficient implementation of the principle in the laws in operation, the revised draft and the exposure draft, and then proposes some advice for making improvement. The potential harmfulness of unfair conduct and infringement act such as cybersquatting and malicious objection should be understood in a high level, so as to strengthen the trademark right protection. As to the right verification process, the responsibility clause should be added, and the more severe punishment for infringement act should be considered.
