摘要
在反向混淆侵权案中,后商标使用人使用了先商标使用人注册的商标,侵犯了先使用商标人的利益,且可能导致了消费者对于产品的混淆。对于反向混淆的司法处理,不能简单地判决后商标使用人禁止使用商标,而应从资源的最大利用化角度考虑,尽量促进双方达成调解协议,调解不成,则判决侵权方支付一定的使用费或赔偿金后,强制先商标使用人允许侵权方继续使用商标。
In the reverse confusion case, the latter uses the prior user of registered trademark, which violates the prior' s inter- ests. And it may lead to confusion of consumers. The Judicial Treatment of reverse confusion can not simply judge to prohibit the latter using the trademark, but to consider the maximum utilization of resources to promote the parties to reach a mediated contract. If the me- diation fails, the judge referees to enforce the prior user of registered trademark who allows the infringing party to continue to use the trademark after paying the royalties or compensation.
