冲突与选择:介于商标与域名之间

域名与商标的差异使得两者本分属于不同的领域,但域名与商标的共性则为两者发生冲突创造条件。目前,域名与商标的冲突主要表现在以下几个方面:域名系抢注他人的商标、域名与商标巧合雷同、反向域名侵夺和申请注册的商标系他人的域名。解决域名与商标冲突的首要问题是确定域名的性质。域名现在是一个技术参数,将来仍然只是一个技术参数,其后天形成的商业识别功能毕竟是阶段性的,技术功能却是长期的。从长远角度考虑,不宜赋予这种技术标记以专门的权利。域名与商标的冲突问题主要是法律适用问题,应通过法律适用解决。但是,权利人仅仅依靠法律救济是不可取的,积极采取各种预防措施,以防止冲突的发生或许是将挑战变为机遇的明智之举。
