瀚客商标分享:“ROBBI & NIKKI”商标不予注册复审案

     一、基本案情

   第11876417号“ROBBI & NIKKI”商标(以下称被异议商标)由广州红谷供应链管理服务有限公司于2012年12月11日提出注册申请,指定使用在第25类服装、裤子等商品上。2014年5月20日,莫达尼科拉国际有限责任公司(即异议人)以被异议商标的申请注册违反了《商标法》第十条第一款第(八)项、第十五条、第十三条、第三十条、第三十一条、第三十二条、第四十四条第一款等规定为由,向商标局提出异议申请。2015年10月10日,商标局作出(2015)商标异字第0000045986号决定书,认为被异议商标在服装商品上与第8550628号“ROBBI & NIKKI”商标(以下称引证商标)构成了使用在类似商品上的近似商标。争议商标在该商品上违反了《商标法》第三十条的规定应不予核准,被异议商标申请使用的其他商品与异议人商标核定使用商品在功能、用途上有一定区别,不属于类似商品,故被异议商标在其余商品上予以核准注册。另异议人称被异议商标的注册和使用违反诚实信用原则,易造成不良社会影响等其余理由证据不足或缺乏事实依据。

  2015年10月30日,广州红谷供应链管理服务有限公司(以下称申请人)不服商标局做出的上述决定,依法向商标评审委员会申请复审。申请人复审的主要理由为:被异议商标指定使用的服装商品与引证商标核定使用的第25类戏装、服装绶带商品不属于类似商品等,请求核准被异议商标的注册。原异议人即莫达尼科拉国际有限责任公司在规定期限内未提交意见。

  二、决定结果

  商标评审委员会经审理认为,被异议商标在服装商品上与引证商标已构成使用在类似商品上的近似商标。且鉴于被异议商标申请之时,引证商标尚未被核准注册或初步审定公告,故被异议商标在服装商品上已构成《商标法》第三十一条所指不应予以核准注册的情形。同时,除本案被异议商标外,申请人还申请注册了如“RACHEL ZOE ZR”、“BEIRN”、“DAVIDLERNER”、“ALFORD & HOFF H”、“BASQ”、“37 EXTREME ACTIVES”、“CLEOBELLA”等众多与他人在国外在各自领域内已经使用并具有一定知名度的商标相同或者近似的商标。申请人申请注册上述商标的行为超出了正常的生产经营使用之需,明显有借他人市场声誉牟利之目的。申请人的此种行为违反了诚实信用原则,不仅会造成商品或服务来源的误认,而且扰乱了正常的商标注册秩序、损害了公平竞争的市场环境,已构成了以其他不正当手段注册商标的情形。故被异议商标的申请注册亦违反了《商标法》第四十四条第一款的规定。综上,被异议商标在服装复审商品上应不予核准注册。

  三、典型意义

  本案涉及到不予注册复审案件的审理范围,根据《商标法实施条例》第五十三条的规定,商标评审委员会审理不服商标局不予注册决定的复审案件,应当针对商标局的不予注册决定和申请人申请复审的事实、理由、请求及原异议人提出的意见进行审理。而原异议人不参加或不提出意见的,不影响案件的审理。

  同时,虽然《商标法》第四十四条第一款法律规定之表述针对的是已经注册的商标,但从该条款的立法本意看,其宗旨在于本着诚实信用原则,制止恶意申请注册商标的行为,维护良好的市场秩序。这一宗旨应当贯穿于商标审查、核准程序,异议程序和无效宣告程序的始终,如果商标评审委员会在商标申请注册阶段即发现该商标申请人企图以欺骗手段或者其他不正当手段取得注册,可以适用该条款,不予核准该商标获得注册,而不必待该商标申请被核准注册后再适用该条款对该商标予以无效宣告。当然,商标评审委员会在实践中将第四十一条第一款类推适用于不予注册复审程序的做法亦得到了人民法院的支持。

Chinese Runner Suffers Surprise Diarrhea During Half Marathon


A top Chinese athlete has been dubbed “the runner with the runs” after soiling himself in an untimely bout of diarrhea at the Shanghai International Half-Marathon.


Chinese Runner Suffers Surprise Diarrhea During Half Marathon


Wu Xiangdong, who felt “unwell” after 10 kilometers, began to relieve himself past the 14-kilometer mark of the 21-kilometer race, Sina Sports reported.


“Even I couldn’t stand the smell,” said Wu, according to the South China Morning Post.


“I kept running and didn’t stop [to go to the toilet because there weren’t any] and I wanted to beat the African runner at the finish.”

Wu finished and won his category in one hour, six minutes and 16 seconds. He believes that he could have been faster without diarrhea.


“I was really relieved when I crossed the finish line,” Wu said. “It seemed I had more power after I excreted everything [during the race]. I definitely would have run faster if I didn’t have this [episode].”


Wu suspects that he had suffered from the runs due to the wet clothes he was wearing. He had bread and water before the race.


“I don’t think it was because of what I ate. It was a mighty relief to have had the toilet in the end.”


In the end, Ethiopian runners bested both men’s and women’s categories, with Antenayehu Dagnachew Yisma (1:02:32) and Bedatu Hirpa Badane (1:12:10) emerging as champions, respectively.

“Congratulations for making it first!”

“I admire your will to win, though I can’t help but laugh at this.”

“You’re very athletic, but the whole ordeal must be very uncomfortable.”

“This kind of situation is normal in marathons. I admire your sportsmanship.”

“Despite your circumstance, you still stuck to the end of the race! You are the best.”

商标申请贵在坚持┃无效在先商标权

兵马未动,商标先行!

越来越多企业意识到商标的重要性,好不容易想到一个好名字,然而上商标网一查,已经被注册了,或者和别人的商标类似。毕竟常用汉字5000个,既要符合商标法的取名规则,又要不撞衫、不重名、不相似,愁到秃头!

今天,我们给大家分享一个商标黑手段。

 

01

 

让慕纯告诉你:商标还可以这样注册

 

大家都知道,类似商品上的近似商标很难注册成功。在有纯慕商标的前提下,别的公司再去注册一个同类的慕纯商标,这应该是100%失败。

光天猫单品过万的销售量,这个商标真是赚发了

 

然而,慕纯注册者熟练掌握《中华人民共和国商标法》,通过举证原纯慕商标持有者已经失去在先使用权,最后法院判决 “慕纯”商标批准注册。

慕纯和纯慕

 

第一阶段:慕纯商标被驳回

2016年5月,本色工坊公司向国家商标局提交“慕纯”商标名称,申请国际尼斯分类的第16类纸制商品,获得商标申请号为第19861860号(下称竞争商标)。

商标局审核时、发现其与2015年绿飘公司在先注册的“纯慕”商标名称,申请国际尼斯分类的第16类纸制商品,商标第16761747号(下称引证商标)构成类似商品上的近似商标。所以,在2017年3月“慕纯”商标名称被驳回。

 

第二阶段:发现对方失去在先商标权

第一次申请失败,本色工坊公司不接受“慕纯”商标被驳回的决定,于是查询到在先注册“纯慕”商标的绿飘公司已注销,不再有合法有效的商标主体资格了。

 

【因此,本色工坊公司以这个理由向商标评审委员会递交商标驳回复审申请。】

 

2017年11月,商标评审委员会认定情况:

“
  • 引证商标和竞争商标文字相同,只在文字顺序排列上不同;

  • 任何一个商标名称倒叙辩读,都会是对方那一件商标,是很容易导致消费者错误认识:相同标志的产品来源相同的生产商或者销售商;

”

所以,竞争商标作为在后申请的名称,遇到了他人在先权利障碍,竞争商标继续予被驳回。

慕纯无法注册成功。

 

第三阶段:复审失败,向法院诉讼成功

本色工坊公司仍然不接受驳回复审决定,将原商标评审委员会列为被告,向北京知识产权法院递交商标行政诉讼。

2018年6月,北京知识产权法院在审理事实情况后作出一审判决(文件号:(2018)京73行初1175号),认定情况:

“
  • 两件商标都是由“慕”和“纯”两个汉字构成,属于近似商标;都申请在尼斯分类:卫生纸、纸巾等相同或类似的商品上;

  • 根据《中华人民共和国商标法》在判断竞争商标与引证商标,是否构属于同类商品的近似商标时;如果绿飘公司已经注销且未对商标权利进行妥善的转移,被告原商标评审委员会、也未提交证据证明引证商标有其他权利人继受,此时的引证商标处于无权利主体的状态,因此,竞争商标与引证商标不构成商标法第三十条所指情形,法院责令商标评审委员会重新作出审核决定。

”

目前该判决已经生效,“慕纯”商标已经批准注册。
