最高人民法院为OEM贴牌加工专供出口产品是否属于“商标使用行为”提供指导意见
Posted in Dispute Resolution, IP, Trademark作者：韦理察 金杜律师事务所知识产权法律事务组 当今中国，为发展企业标识投入大量资源的企业，在商标权利的行使和保护领域遇到了越来越多的问题。首先，企业的注册商标在未经授权的情况下被伪造者使用在相同或相似的商品上。另外，许多公司和个人在中国注册知名品牌的标识，构成“商标侵权”或“商标抢注”。一些商标侵权者试图利用知名品牌标识的品牌价值“搭便车”，而恶意抢注者可能向品牌所有者索要高额标识转让费用。然而，如果国外品牌商委托中国的贴牌加工企业（Original Equipment Manufacturer，“OEM”）代工生产专供出口产品，而该国外委托方的品牌标识已被中国第三方企业注册，这种代工行为是否构成对中国商标所有权人的商标侵权? 《中华人民共和国商标法》[i]（“《商标法》”）为商标权利合法持有人提供了可以利用的法律保护框架。商标法于1982年通过，在1993年和2001年进行了两次修订。

Posted in Corporate, IP作者：陈长会 蒋志培 金杜律师事务所专利组 近十年来，越来越多留学人员和外企职员涌向国内企业，并且凭借在外企积累的丰富经验成功开发出原被西方公司作为商业秘密加以垄断的产品。此时，一些跨国公司很容易将相关中国企业看成侵犯商业秘密的嫌犯；而这些国内企业如何防止落入侵犯商业秘密的陷阱和避开商业秘密的法律风险，更加突出地提到我们的面前。 商业秘密是一种不为公众所知悉并难以获得、能为权利人带来经济利益、具有实用性并经权利人采取保密措施的技术信息或者商业信息，属于知识产权法保护的范围。商业秘密最大特点是其边界模糊性，即使是一个清晰配方或图纸，也往往是商业秘密和公知技术的混杂体。因此，商业秘密纠纷往往案情复杂，程序繁琐，判断困难，主观性强。
