摘要: |
涉外定牌加工是出口定牌加工的一种类型。法院用于将涉外定牌加工同其他类型出口定牌加工相区分的合理注意义务并无直接法律依据。从目的解释和维持司法实践统一角度认定出口定牌加工不构成商标性使用更为妥当;而且,基于商标保护独立性原则,涉案商标并未在境内发挥识别功能而不会造成混淆与实质性损害,因而逻辑上,同样将产品全部出口境外的出口定牌加工原则上也不构成商标侵权。如果出口定牌加工侵害境内商标权利人在境外相关法域的权益,国内法院可依国际私法规范维护境内商标权利人的境外权益。 |

A Discussion on Identification of Trademark Infringement in Export Brand Manufacture |
LIU Leyao,XIE Yang |

Abstract: |
OEM is a type of Export Brand Manufacture. Firstly, the court distinguishes the OEM from other types of Export Brand Manufacture through the“reasonable attention obligation”, but in fact there is no direct legal basis for the reasonable attention obligation. Secondly, from the purpose of explaining and maintaining the unification of judicial practice, it is more appropriate to determine that the Export Brand Manufacture does not constitute the trademark use. Besides, based on the principle of the independence of the trademark protection, the recognition function does not play in the territory of the country so it will not lead to confusion as well as substantial damage, and therefore, in principle, Export Brand Manufacture which similarly exported products to overseas logically does not constitute trademark infringement. In the end, if the consignor and manufacturer infringe on the rights and interests of the domestic trademark owners in the overseas relevant jurisdictions, the domestic courts may safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the domestic trademark owners according to private international law. |
