我国地理标志保护模式的立法选择

目前,我国对地理标志的保护同时存在着工商部门的证明商标、集体商标保护和质检部门的地理标志产品、原产地标记保护。两种保护机制的并存导致同一地理名称上同时存在两种相抗衡的权利：商标权人对地名商标的专有权以及该地区所有生产经营者对地理标志的集体权和共有权。由于商标法保护地理标志存在诸多局限,解决地理标志权利冲突的根本途径在于尽快制定《地理标志保护法》,我国地理标志的保护应当采取专门法保护模式。

Legislative Choice of Protection Pattern for Geographical Indication in China

There are two kinds of protection for geographical indications in China, one is the certification trademark and collective trademark from the administrative departments of industry and commerce, the other is the geographical indication and mark of origin from the departments of quality and technical supervision. The coexistence of two protection mechanism leads to confliction between two rights on the same geographical name： the exclusive right of place name the trademark owner has and the collective right and communal right all the operators from the area possess. Because of limitations of Trademark Act in geographical indication protection, the only way to solve the right confliction is to work out the bill for geographical indications protection as soon as possible, and special law protection pattern should be adopted in China.
