商标作为商品名称是否侵权?Is a trademark infringing as a product name?

  在现实生活中,当一些公司生产相同的产品时,他们可以申请商标权,这样他们就可以得到法律保护。但有一个问题很多人不理解,那就是作为产品名称的商标是否侵权。

  一、商标用作商品名称是否侵权

  名称与商标相同,容易导致混淆的,构成商标侵权。

  根据《中华人民共和国商标法》第五十七条

  有下列行为之一的,均属侵犯注册商标专用权:

  (一)未经商标注册人的许可,在同一种商品上使用与其注册商标相同的商标的;

  (二)未经商标注册人的许可,在同一种商品上使用与其注册商标近似的商标,或者在类似商品上使用与其注册商标相同或者近似的商标,容易导致混淆;

  (三)销售侵犯注册商标专用权的商品的;

  (四)伪造、擅自制造他人注册商标标识或者销售伪造、擅自制造的注册商标标识的;

  (五)未经商标注册人同意,更换其注册商标并将该更换商标的商品又投入市场的;

  (六)故意为侵犯他人商标专用权行为提供便利条件,帮助他人实施侵犯商标专用权行为的;

  (七)给他人的注册商标专用权造成其他损害的。

  二、商标侵权应赔多少

  侵犯商标专用权的赔偿数额,按照权利人因被侵权所受到的实际损失确定;实际损失难以确定的,可以按照侵权人因侵权所获得的利益确定;权利人的损失或者侵权人获得的利益难以确定的,参照该商标许可使用费的倍数合理确定。

  《中华人民共和国商标法》第六十三条

  侵犯商标专用权的赔偿数额,按照权利人因被侵权所受到的实际损失确定;实际损失难以确定的,可以按照侵权人因侵权所获得的利益确定;权利人的损失或者侵权人获得的利益难以确定的,参照该商标许可使用费的倍数合理确定。对恶意侵犯商标专用权,情节严重的,可以在按照上述方法确定数额的一倍以上三倍以下确定赔偿数额。赔偿数额应当包括权利人为制止侵权行为所支付的合理开支。

       

  三、如何申办商品的商标权

  依据我国商标法的规定,商标注册申请人应当按规定的商品分类表填报使用商标的商品类别和商品名称,提出注册申请,由商标管理部门进行审查。

  《中华人民共和国商标法》

  第二十二条 商标注册申请人应当按规定的商品分类表填报使用商标的商品类别和商品名称,提出注册申请。

  商标注册申请人可以通过一份申请就多个类别的商品申请注册同一商标。

  商标注册申请等有关文件,可以以书面方式或者数据电文方式提出。

  第二十八条 对申请注册的商标,商标局应当自收到商标注册申请文件之日起九个月内审查完毕,符合本法有关规定的,予以初步审定公告。

  以上就是有关商标作为商品名称是否侵权的法律内容,一般来说,如果产品名称与商标相同,容易混淆就容易造成侵权,这是国家法律规定的。

In real life, when some companies produce the same products, they can apply for trademark rights, so that they can receive legal protection. But there is a question that many people do not understand, which is whether a trademark used as a product name is infringing.

 

1 Is trademark used as a trade name infringing

 

If the name is the same as the trademark and can easily lead to confusion, it constitutes trademark infringement.

 

According to Article 57 of the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China

 

Any of the following behaviors constitutes infringement of the exclusive right to use a registered trademark:

 

1 Using the same trademark as the registered trademark on the same goods without the permission of the trademark registrant;

 

2 Without the permission of the trademark registrant, using a trademark that is similar to its registered trademark on the same goods, or using a trademark that is identical or similar to its registered trademark on similar goods, can easily lead to confusion;

 

3 Selling goods that infringe upon the exclusive right to use a registered trademark;

 

4 Forgery or unauthorized manufacture of registered trademark logos by others, or sale of forged or unauthorized manufactured registered trademark logos;

 

5 Changing the registered trademark without the consent of the trademark registrant and putting the goods with the changed trademark back into the market;

 

6 Intentionally providing convenient conditions for infringing on the exclusive right to use a trademark of others and helping others to carry out such acts;

 

7 Causing other damages to the exclusive right to use a registered trademark of others.

 

2 How much should be compensated for trademark infringement

 

The amount of compensation for infringement of trademark exclusive rights shall be determined based on the actual losses suffered by the right holder due to the infringement; If the actual loss is difficult to determine, it can be determined based on the benefits obtained by the infringer due to the infringement; If it is difficult to determine the losses of the right holder or the benefits obtained by the infringer, it shall be reasonably determined by referring to the multiple of the trademark licensing fee.

 

Article 63 of the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China

 

The amount of compensation for infringement of trademark exclusive rights shall be determined based on the actual losses suffered by the right holder due to the infringement; If the actual loss is difficult to determine, it can be determined based on the benefits obtained by the infringer due to the infringement; If it is difficult to determine the losses of the right holder or the benefits obtained by the infringer, it shall be reasonably determined by referring to the multiple of the trademark licensing fee. For malicious infringement of trademark exclusive rights, if the circumstances are serious, the compensation amount may be determined at a rate of one to three times the amount determined according to the above method. The compensation amount should include the reasonable expenses paid by the right holder to stop the infringement.
