台灣商標程序之註冊商標
Trademark registration procedure in Taiwan
Trademark application assistant Chen Peng
我國現行商標法係採取註冊主義及先申請主義。我國商標法第二條明定,欲取得商標權、證明標章權、團體標章權或團體商標權者,應依本法申請註冊。
Taiwan employs a first-to-register system for trademark protection. Article 2 of the Trademark Law in Taiwan expressly indicates that “Any person who wishes to obtain the rights of trademark, certificate mark, collective membership mark, or collective trademark shall apply for registration therefore in accordance with this Act.”
一、申請人
1. Applicant
申請人應具備之主觀要件為確具使用意思,客觀要件則須為表彰自己營業之商品者。其中所謂之營業,依商標法施行細則第五條之規定事項認定之,包括公司登記、商業登記、營利事業登記等項目,或具體營業計劃、股東會決議及其他相關事證。
Applicant should be subjective to ensure the purpose of application but to be objective when representing its sales of commodities. For its business operation, it is necessary to comply with Rule 5 of the Enforcement Rules of Trademark Act, including its company registration, business registration, operation business, or specific business plans, shareholder meetings or any other related matters.
是以,只要具備上述要件者,不論其為自然人、法人或外國人,皆具申請人之資格。
