我国《商标法》第31条规定,“申请商标注册不得以不正当手段抢先注册他人已经使用并有一定影响的商标”。该条规定是对商标在先使用人的保护,要求他人注册商标时,避让“已经使用并有一定影响”的商标,并且不得“以不正当手段抢先注册”。 Article 31 of China’s “Trademark Law” stipulates that “the application for trademark registration shall not be preempted by improper means to register other trademarks already used by others and have a certain impact.” This article provides for the protection of the prior user of the trademark, and requires that others avoid the trademark “used and has certain influence” when registering the trademark, and may not “preemptively register by improper means.”
