从立法的角度看我国对商标平行进口规制的完善

我国是一个发展中国家,因此在制定规制平行进口的法律时,应当坚持两个平衡:一是商标权人、平行进口商以及消费者之间的平衡;另一个是保护商标权与促进自由贸易之间的平衡。基于这两个平衡,我国关于平行进口的法律不能绝对地坚持地域性原则或权利国际穷竭原则,而应坚持部分地域性原则与权利有限国际穷竭原则相结合,即原则上允许平行进口,同时借鉴美国的"实质性差异"原则,例外情况下禁止平行进口。

On the Perfection of China's Regulation of Trademark Parallel Imports

In making laws regulating parallel imports, China should strike a balance among trademark owners, parallel importers and consumers and another balance between the protection of trademark and the promoting of free trade. Considering the above balance, China's laws of parallel imports should stick to neither absolute territoriality principle nor international exhaustion, but the combination of the principle of partial territoriality and limited international exhaustion, that is, permitting parallel imports generally and at the same time, using similar principle to U.S."material difference" prohibiting it under some exceptional circumstance.
