摘要
商标使用是否是商标权侵权判定的要件尚存在争议,然而,商标使用作为一种客观存在的法律事实,与消费者混淆可能性所指的并非同一对象。商标使用是指被诉人是否将他人标志作为商标来指示其商品或服务的来源,而混淆可能性是指这种使用行为是否容易造成消费者发生混淆。由此,商标使用能够在侵权的判定中发挥积极的辅助性作用,有助于认定被诉侵权人所使用的商标是否起到标示来源的作用,从而为正确判断消费者是否会发生混淆奠定基础。因此,在我国商标侵权认定的司法实践中,可以充分利用商标使用的辅助性功能,通过商标使用过滤掉一部分并非商标权侵权的正当行为。
Whether trademark use is the requirement in determination of trademark infringement is still controversial.However,trademark use as a kind of objective existence of legal facts is not referring to the same object compared with the likelihood of confusion of consumer.Trademark use refers whether the defendant uses the logo as a trademark to others to indicate the source of goods or services,and the likelihood of confusion refers that the use of behavior is likely to cause consumer confusion.Therefore,trademark use plays a positive role in determination of trademark infringement and helps to decide whether the trademark use by the alleged infringer has the effect of indicating source,thus can lay a foundation to judge correctly whether the consumer will be confused.Therefore,in the trademark infringement judicial practice in our country,we can make full use of the auxiliary function of trademark use and filter out the legitimate behavior which is not trademark infringement through the trademark use.
