一、基礎(chǔ)知識-什么是商標(biāo)
商標(biāo)是將某商品或服務(wù)標(biāo)明是某主體所生產(chǎn)或提供的顯著標(biāo)志,使商品或服務(wù)與特定的商品或服務(wù)的提供商建立明確對應(yīng)的聯(lián)系,并承載商品或服務(wù)提供商的商譽(yù),包括文字、圖形、字母、數(shù)字、三維標(biāo)志、顏色組合和聲音等,均可以作為商標(biāo)申請注冊。未經(jīng)商標(biāo)權(quán)人許可,在相同或類似的商品或服務(wù)上(含實物及信息頁面)出現(xiàn)與他人注冊商標(biāo)相同或近似的標(biāo)識,導(dǎo)致一般消費者產(chǎn)生混淆的,可能構(gòu)成侵犯他人注冊商標(biāo)權(quán)。
A trademark is a recognizable sign that identifies a product or service of a particular source from those of others, so that the product or service is clearly associated with the provider, and carries the goodwill of the product or service provider. A phrase, word, graphic, number, 3D symbol, color combination or sound could be considered as a trademark and eligible for registration. Without permission from the trademark owner, the use of a trademark which is identical with or similar to a registered trademark of others on a product or service (including the product or information page) which is likely to cause confusion among consumers would be constituted as trademark infringement.
商標(biāo)近似:商標(biāo)近似是指兩個標(biāo)識在字形、讀音、含義或者圖形的構(gòu)圖及顏色,或者上述要素的組合以后的整體結(jié)構(gòu)比較相似。

商標(biāo)類型:在平臺經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的商標(biāo)類型主要分為:
Types of trademarks: Trademarks commonly seen on the Platform are classified as follows:
(1)商品商標(biāo)和服務(wù)商標(biāo),顧名思義,商品商標(biāo)就是出現(xiàn)在商品上標(biāo)識商品來源的商標(biāo),服務(wù)商標(biāo)就是出現(xiàn)在服務(wù)類目上的商標(biāo),如船舶運輸、航運等;
1) Trademarks and service marks: As the name implies, a trademark is a mark that appears on a product to identify the source of the product, while a service mark is a mark that appears on a service, such as shipping services.
a.商品商標(biāo)
a. Trademarks
b.服務(wù)商標(biāo)
b. Service marks
(2)平面商標(biāo)與立體商標(biāo):根據(jù)商標(biāo)是二維還是三維的,商標(biāo)可以進(jìn)一步分為平面商標(biāo)和立體商標(biāo)。比如,美國注冊的商品的立體商標(biāo)包括產(chǎn)品本身或其銷售包裝的外形。服務(wù)的立體商標(biāo)包括如餐廳的內(nèi)部形態(tài)、零售設(shè)施的外部形態(tài)或某一銷售點的展示,如服務(wù)提供商所使用或因與宣傳服務(wù)相關(guān)而使用的服裝。
2) 2D trademarks and 3D trademarks: Trademarks could be further divided as 2D and 3D trademarks based on their shapes. For example, a 3D trademark registered in the United States could be the shape of the product itself or the packaging in which it is sold. A 3D service mark could be, for example, the interior design of a restaurant, the exterior design of a retail establishment or the point-of-sale display, such as a costume used by the service provider or in connection with the services.
a.立體商標(biāo)(商標(biāo)為商品整體或局部,商標(biāo)范圍不含線)
a. 3D trademark (A 3D trademark is the appearance of the whole or part of a product. The part shown in dotted lines is not a part of the mark.)
b.平面商標(biāo)(可以由文字、字母、數(shù)字、顏色或平面設(shè)計等構(gòu)成,用以標(biāo)識商品來源)
a. 3D trademark (A 3D trademark is the appearance of the whole or part of a product. The part shown in dotted lines is not a part of the mark.)
商標(biāo)侵權(quán):根據(jù)中國商標(biāo)法的定義,未經(jīng)商標(biāo)注冊人的許可,在同一種或近似商品上使用與其注冊商標(biāo)相同的商標(biāo),或在同一種/近似商品上使用與其注冊商標(biāo)近似的商標(biāo),容易導(dǎo)致混淆的,均可能構(gòu)成侵犯他人注冊商標(biāo),是被平臺所禁止的行為,若你在相同或類似的商品上使用同他人注冊商標(biāo)相同或類似的標(biāo)識,可能面臨投訴甚至受到平臺處罰。
Trademark infringement: As defined under the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China, trademark infringement refers to the use of a trademark which is identical with a registered trademark on the same or similar products without the consent of the trademark owner, or unauthorized use of a trademark which is similar to a registered trademark on the same or similar products which is likely to cause confusion among consumers. Such behavior is prohibited on the Platform. If you use a mark which is identical with or similar to a registered trademark of others on the same or similar product, you may face a complaint or even punished by the Platform.
