最高人民法院关于审理涉及驰名商标保护的民事纠纷案件应用法律若干问题的解释
（法释〔2009〕3号）
为在审理侵犯商标权等民事纠纷案件中依法保护驰名商标，根据《中华人民共和国商标法》、《中华人民共和国反不正当竞争法》、《中华人民共和国民事诉讼法》等有关法律规定，结合审判实际，制定本解释。
|
Article 1 The term “famous trademark” as mentioned in this Interpretation refers to a trademark widely known by the corresponding general public within China.
| | 第一条 本解释所称驰名商标，是指在中国境内为相关公众广为知晓的商标。
|
Article 2 With regard to any of the following cases of civil disputes, in which a party concerned believes that its trademark is famous and takes this as the factual basis, the people's court shall determine whether the trademark involved therein is famous or not in light of the concrete circumstances if it deems it really necessary:
| | 第二条 在下列民事纠纷案件中，当事人以商标驰名作为事实根据，人民法院根据案件具体情况，认为确有必要的，对所涉商标是否驰名作出认定：
|
1. a trademark right infringement lawsuit initiated on the ground of violation of Article 13 of the Trademark Law;
| | （一）以违反商标法第十三条的规定为由，提起的侵犯商标权诉讼；
|
2. a trademark right infringement or unfair competition lawsuit initiated by a party on the ground that an enterprise's name is identical with or similar to its famous trademark; or
| | （二）以企业名称与其驰名商标相同或者近似为由，提起的侵犯商标权或者不正当竞争诉讼；
|
3. a counterargument or counterclaim as prescribed in Article 6 of this Interpretation.
| | （三）符合本解释第六条规定的抗辩或者反诉的诉讼。
|
Article 3 With regard to either of the following cases of civil disputes, the people's court will not examine whether the trademark involved therein is famous or not:
| | 第三条 在下列民事纠纷案件中，人民法院对于所涉商标是否驰名不予审查：
|
1. Whether the trademark involved therein is famous shall not be the factual basis for the establishment of the trademark right infringement or unfair competition sued; or
| | （一）被诉侵犯商标权或者不正当竞争行为的成立不以商标驰名为事实根据的；
|
2. The trademark right infringement or unfair competition sued is not established due to the absence of other elements as prescribed in law.
An infringement lawsuit, which is lodged by the plaintiff on the grounds that the domain name registered or used by the defendant is identical with or similar to the plaintiff's registered trademark and that the electronic business – the trading of relevant commodities through the domain name – is sufficient to mislead the relevant general public, shall be governed by the provisions in subparagraph 1 of the preceding paragraph.
| | （二）被诉侵犯商标权或者不正当竞争行为因不具备法律规定的其他要件而不成立的。
原告以被告注册、使用的域名与其注册商标相同或者近似，并通过该域名进行相关商品交易的电子商务，足以造成相关公众误认为由，提起的侵权诉讼，按照前款第（一）项的规定处理。
|
Article 4 To determine whether a trademark is famous or not, the people's court shall regard the fact, which can demonstrate the popularity of the trademark, as the basis and comprehensively take into consideration all factors as prescribed in Article 14 of the Trademark Law, unless, in light of the concrete circumstance of the case, it is sufficient to determine the popularity of the trademark without taking into consideration all of the aforesaid factors.
．．．．．． | | 第四条 人民法院认定商标是否驰名，应当以证明其驰名的事实为依据，综合考虑商标法第十四条规定的各项因素，但是根据案件具体情况无需考虑该条规定的全部因素即足以认定商标驰名的情形除外。
