부당하게 선점한 상표권의 권리행사 제한에 대한 연구 = A Study on the Restriction of Exercise of Rights Based on Unfairly Preoccupied Trademark Rights

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Korea's Trademark law adopts the principle of registration, so even if a trademark is being used or is being prepared for use by another person, if an application or registration has not been made, it is possible to preemptively file an application for trademark registration and register it if there is no other reason for refusal. and in this case, the opportunity to select another person's trademark may be unfairly restricted. Accordingly, registered countries have various regulations, including reasons for refusal of trademark registration, reasons for non-registration, reasons for cancellation, and pre-use, to prevent unfair preoccupation and possession of unused storage trademarks.
There are differences in details regardless of whether it is a continental and British law country, principle of registration or use, but overseas trademark laws have provisions to limit the exercise of unfairly preoccupied trademark rights or rights to unused trademarks. In countries that adopt the principle of registration principle, the use of a trademark is not premised on acquiring a trademark, but holding a trademark without using it limits the opportunity of others to choose a trademark and goes against the purpose of the trademark law. Therefore, if a certain period of non-use has elapsed, many countries, such as Germany and China, restrict the exercise of trademark rights itself (Articles 21 and 25 of the German Trademark Law; Article 64 of the Chinese Trademark Law). In the case of Japan, the right cannot be exercised on the basis of a trademark right that has grounds for invalidation (Japanese Trademark Law, Article 39). In the United States, which adopts the use-principle, the trademark owner is deemed to have abandoned the trademark if it has not been used for a certain period of time (15 U.S.C. §1127(1)). If the trademark is deemed abandoned, the trademark right ceases to exist even before the request for a trial for revocation, and no claim for injunction or compensation for damages can be made based on the trademark right. In the UK and Australia, it is characteristic that in the case of an unjustified threat from a trademark right holder, a person who has received such a threat can actively claim injunctive relief and damages (Articles 21 to 21F of the British Trademark Act; Article 129 of the Australian Trademark Act).
In Korean Trademark Act, it is necessary to review the introduction of regulations that can restrict the exercise of rights based on unfairly preoccupied trademark rights, exercise of rights based on unused trademarks and trademark rights with grounds for invalidation, referring to these overseas legislative examples.
Furthermore, it is necessary to review the introduction of a regulation that allows a trademark right holder to actively file an injunction and compensation for damages.
