How to Determine a Well-Known Trademark in Indonesia According to the Ministry of Law Regulation No. 5 Year 2026? - AFFA IPR

如何根据2026年第5号法律部长条例认定印度尼西亚的驰名商标?

在当今全球化且竞争激烈的市场环境中,**驰名商标(well-known mark)**在商标保护中发挥着至关重要的作用。与普通商标不同,驰名商标因其卓越的声誉和广泛的认知度,即使在非类似商品或服务类别中,也可获得更广泛的法律保护。   鉴于其重要性,印度尼西亚通过《2026年第5号法律部长条例》(以下简称“该条例”)对商标注册制度进行了完善,并明确规定了认定驰名商标的更清晰、更系统化的标准。   本文将概述该条例下用于评估驰名商标地位的关键因素。   驰名商标认定的法律依据   根据该条例,驰名商标的认定标准规定于第36条。该条例并未依赖单一标准,而是采用多因素综合评估方法,确保驰名商标的认定基于全面且客观的考量。   驰名商标认定的主要标准   公众认知程度 首要考虑因素是商标在公众中的知名程度,尤其是在相关行业领域内的认知度。若商标具备以下特点,则可能被认定为驰名商标: 具有较高的品牌记忆度 在消费者中具有广泛认知 在所属行业中具有显著影响力 该因素体现了一个核心原则:驰名商标必须是广为人知的,而不仅仅是完成注册的商标。 销售额及盈利能力 另一关键指标是商标的商业表现,包括: 商品或服务的销售额 商标使用所产生的利润 良好的商业表现表明该商标已获得市场的广泛认可并具有较高的经济价值。 市场份额 该条例还考虑商标所占据的市场份额。较高或主导性的市场份额意味着: 商标具有较强的竞争力 在行业中占据重要地位 该因素反映了商标在市场中的经济影响力。 使用地域范围 商标的使用范围越广,其被认定为驰名商标的可能性越高,包括: 在印度尼西亚境内的覆盖范围 在多个国家或地区的国际使用 跨越地域界限的商标更容易被认定为驰名商标。 使用期限 商标的使用时间长短也是重要考量因素。长期持续使用的商标: 展现稳定性 建立消费者信任 强化品牌认知 这一因素体现了时间在建立品牌声誉中的累积价值。 宣传力度与投入 该条例还评估商标的推广活动,包括: 广告宣传 市场营销策略 品牌建设投入 持续且高强度的推广有助于显著提升商标的知名度和声誉。 境外商标注册情况 国际注册是一个重要的辅助因素。若商标在多个国家或地区获得注册或申请注册,尤其是在发达市场中,则表明其具有全球认知度,并有助于强化其驰名商标地位。 执法与法律认定情况 商标维权成功与否同样具有参考价值,包括: 法院判决 行政裁定 官方机构的认定 已被权威机构认定为驰名商标的情况具有重要的证据效力。 内在价值与声誉…
