Extended data:
It is understood that with the optimization of trademark registration procedures, the shortening of registration period, the reduction of registration costs and the reduction of registration resources, trademark "malicious applications" for the purpose of alongside famous brands have occurred from time to time, and trademark "hoarding registration" for the purpose of transferring registered trademarks for profit rather than actual use has appeared in large numbers.
These abnormal trademark registration applications have seriously disrupted the market economic order and trademark management, damaged the business environment, and aroused widespread concern from all walks of life.
China National Intellectual Property Administration attaches great importance to this, actively carries out legislative research, and plans to form a long-term mechanism to curb abnormal trademark registration by improving the trademark legal system. In order to achieve the goal in a short time, on the basis of drawing lessons from the regulatory measures of abnormal application behavior in the patent field, the regulations of this department were drafted to strengthen the regulation and guidance of trademark application and registration behavior.
The exposure draft also proposes that if the application for trademark registration is abnormal, disciplinary measures can be taken according to the circumstances in addition to the provisions of the Regulations on the Implementation of the Trademark Law. If the circumstances are serious enough to constitute a crime, it will be transferred to the relevant authorities for criminal responsibility.
Trademark agencies that apply for registration of abnormal trademarks will also be punished according to law. It is reported that the public can put forward specific opinions on the revision and improvement of the exposure draft by e-mail, fax, etc., or send their opinions to the legal department of China National Intellectual Property Administration by letter.
