摘要: 我国《商标法》第57条第2项引入了混淆可能性要件,将商标侵权判定标准改变为相似性和混淆可能性。在商标侵权判定中引入混淆可能性要件,符合商标法的原理,是我国商标立法的重大进步。在混淆可能性和相似性的关系方面,二者都是商标侵权判定的独立要件。相似性为前置性要件,混淆可能性为结果性要件,混淆可能性可从主体、程度、类型这三个方面来解释和判断。商标的近似性、商品的类似性应是物理意义上的相似性,而非混淆可能性语境上的相似性。在商标侵权判定中,相似性的证明标准不应过高。

关键词: 商标侵权判定, 混淆可能性, 相似性

Abstract: The trademark law in our country introduced the likelihood of confusion elements in article 57(2) and changed the trademark infringement standards into similarity and the likelihood of confusion.Introducing the likelihood of confusion elements in trademark infringement determination to comply with the trademark law principle is a major progress of the trademark legislation in our country.In the relations of the likelihood of confusion and similarity,the likelihood of confusion and similarity are independent elements in trademark infringement determination in article 57(2).Similarity is the front elements and the likelihood of confusion is the outcome elements.In the meaning and application aspects of the likelihood of confusion and similarity,the likelihood of confusion can explain and judge from three aspects of subject,degree and types.The trademark of similarity and the goods of similarity should be in the physical sense,and should not be the similarity on the likelihood of confusion context.Meanwhile,in the trademark infringement determination,the proof standards of similarity should not be set up too strict.

Key words: Trademark Infringement Standards, Likelihood of Confusion, Similarity
