Trademark squatting” is pervasive and remains a concern for authorities in countries around the world.
In order to solve this problem, the United States enacted “The Trademark Modernization Act of 2020 (TMA)“, which added ex parte expungement and reexamination proceedings for cancellation of registration when the required use in commerce of the registered mark has not been made. On the other hand, in China, trademark squatting is a long-term headache for foreign companies who try to enter the Chinese market. Recently, China has revised the Trademark Act in order to fight against trademarks that are registered in bad faith.
Ms. Kao (高秀美), Deputy Leader of Taiwan Intellectual Property Office (TIPO), and Ms. Ann Lai, lawyer of Chien Yeh & Associates, was invited by Importers & Exporter Association of Taipei( IEATPE) to share trademark and brand cases and the latest amendments in the United States, ASEAN, and China.
美国于去年 12 月底颁布 「美国制定商标现代化法案（Trademark Modernization Act of 2020, TMA）」，并于今年年底正式施行，针对提供假证据的商标或从未在商业上使用的商标增加了删除及复审（ex parte Reexamination and expungement）的程序，希望借此修法改善美国近来商标申请过于浮滥的乱象；另一方面，中国大陆也增修恶意注册的规范，可知浮滥申请与恶意注册已经是各国智慧局留意的问题。
美、中为台湾两大贸易市场，台北市进出口同业公会特邀智慧局高秀美副组长以及勤业国际专利商标联合事务所赖苡安律师，一同出席分享美国、东协、两岸的商标品牌案例及修法新知。
