《巴黎公约》是最重要的有关商标国际注册的国际条约。尽管由于时代和技术的限制,《巴黎公约》未明文涉及非传统商标。但是《巴黎公约》第1条第3款规定应从最广泛的意义上理解知识产权的性质和范围,因此可以认为非传统商标属于公约保护客体的范畴。《巴黎公约》有关商标国际注册的基本原则包括国民待遇原则、独立性原则以及商标原样注册义务均同等适用于非传统商标国际注册。但是作为一项新生事物,各国对于非传统商标,特别是非可视性商标的保护态度和方式存在较大的差异,使得非传统商标的国际注册问题更加复杂棘手。这种情况下,对于《巴黎公约》下非传统商标国际注册原则的深入研究,以及我国负有的非传统商标国际注册保护义务的全面分析,具有重要的理论和实践意义。
The Paris Convention is the most important international treaty on international registration of marks. Although due to the limitations of the times and technology, the Paris Convention does not expressly refer to non-traditional marks. However, article 1, paragraph 3, of the Paris Convention stipulates that the nature and extent of intellectual property should be understood in the broadest sense. Therefore, non-traditional marks can be considered as the object of the Convention’s protection. The basic principles of the Paris Convention relating to the international registration of marks include the principle of national treatment, the principle of independence and the original obligation to register trademarks for the international registration of non-traditional marks. However, as a new-born thing, there are big differences among nations on the attitude and methods of protection of non-traditional trademarks, especially non-visible trademarks, making the international registration of non-traditional trademarks more complicated and tricky. Under such circumstances, it is of great theoretical and practical significance to carry out an in-depth study of the principle of international registration of non-traditional marks under the Paris Convention and a comprehensive analysis of the obligations that our country owns for the protection of international registration of non-traditional marks.
