商標法

This law is enacted to protect trademark and certification/collective mark rights, protect consumer interests, maintain fair market competition, and support normal business development.

If a disposition document or other document cannot be served, it must be published in the Trademark Gazette, and service is deemed completed 30 days after publication.

本條規定，在本法修正施行前已註冊的服務標章，從修正施行日起視為商標。

Previously registered collective trademarks, service marks, group marks, and certification marks are treated as separate registered trademarks or marks from the amendment’s effective date, and their term follows the original approval.

修正前已註冊的防護商標、服務標章、團體標章或證明標章，原則上依註冊時的規定處理；在專用期間屆滿前，必須申請變更為獨立的註冊商標或標章，否則商標權消滅。

If an application is made to change to an independent registered trademark or mark, the three-year period in Article 63(1)(2) starts from the date of the change.

申請註冊、加速審查、延展註冊、異動登記、異議、評定、廢止等程序時，申請人應繳納相關規費；收費標準由主管機關訂定。

If registration fees were already paid in two installments before the amendment took effect, the second installment is handled under the pre-amendment rules.

For pending opposition or review cases received before the amended rules took effect, cancellation of registration is allowed only if the grounds are illegal under both the registration-time rules and the amended rules.

Pending trademark cancellation cases are handled under the amended rules, while lawful steps already taken before the amendment keep their effect.

Applications to register dynamic, hologram, or combined forms made before the amendment takes effect are treated as filed on the amendment effective date.

符合特定條件的商標申請人，可以把優先權日定為修正條文施行日。

符合特定年資與案件量的商標代理業務從業者，可在修正施行後一年內申請登錄為商標代理人；未登錄且不具資格者，不得繼續執行商標代理業務。

商標專責機關必須刊行公報，並登載註冊商標及其相關事項。

主管機關有權訂定本法的施行細則。

本法的施行日期由行政院 तय定。

商標專責機關必須備置商標註冊簿及商標代理人名簿；這些簿冊也可以用電子方式保存。

商標申請及相關程序可以用電子方式辦理；商標專責機關的文書送達也可以電子方式進行。

The trademark authority must assign review personnel to examine trademark registration applications, oppositions, reviews, and cancellation cases.

商標專責機關審查前條第一項案件時，應作成書面處分、記載理由並送達申請人；該處分並應由審查人員具名。

When calculating a period, the first day is generally not counted.

The trademark rules in this chapter also apply, as appropriate, to certification marks, collective marks, and collective trademarks.

A trademark is a distinctive sign, and distinctiveness means consumers can recognize it as identifying the source of goods or services and distinguish it from others.

商標註冊要提出申請書，載明申請人、商標圖樣和指定商品或服務，並向商標專責機關申請。

Anyone seeking trademark, certification mark, collective mark, or collective trademark rights must apply for registration under this Act.

This provision lets an applicant claim trademark priority in specified cases and sets filing statements and document deadlines.

If trademark goods or services are shown at a government-sponsored or recognized international exhibition and the application is filed within six months, the filing date is treated as the exhibition date.

If multiple applicants file the same or similar trademark on the same day for the same or similar goods or services, they should decide the order by agreement; if they cannot agree, it is decided by lottery.

申請後，商標圖樣及其指定使用的商品或服務不得變更；但指定使用商品或服務的減縮，或對商標圖樣不屬實質變更者，不在此限。

If an applicant’s name, address, agent, or other registration application details change, the applicant must apply to the trademark competent authority for the change.

Trademark registration application mistakes may be corrected on application or on the authority’s own initiative, but the correction must not change the trademark’s identity or expand the listed goods or services.

申請人可以就指定使用的商品或服務，向商標專責機關請求把註冊申請案分割成兩個以上，並以原註冊申請日作為申請日。

Trademark-application rights may be transferred to another person.

Shared trademark application rights, shares, waiver, and narrowing/splitting of designated goods or services generally require all co-owners’ consent.

Certain non-distinctive trademarks may not be registered, unless use has made the mark distinctive in trade; applicants must disclaim non-exclusive non-distinctive parts when required.

本法的主管機關是經濟部；商標業務由經濟部指定的專責機關辦理。

商標在列舉情形下不得註冊，包括功能性必要標識、特定官方或著名標識、會造成混淆誤認的標識，以及侵害他人權利且判決確定的情形。

商標註冊申請若經審查認定有不得註冊情形，會被核駁；核駁前要先書面通知申請人並給期限陳述意見。

商標核准審定後，申請人須在審定書送達後2個月內繳納註冊費，之後才會公告註冊並發給證書。

The trademark right is acquired by the right holder from the date of the registration notice, and the term is 10 years.

商標權人在其註冊指定的商品或服務上取得商標權；已註冊的商標也可以標明註冊商標或國際通用註冊符號。

This provision lists situations where trademark use is not bound by another person's trademark rights, and it limits a trademark owner's ability to object to certain goods already put into market circulation.

商標權人可以就註冊商標指定使用的商品或服務，向商標專責機關申請分割商標權。

Registered trademark images and the designated goods or services generally may not be changed after registration, except that narrowing the designated goods or services is allowed.

商標權人可以就註冊商標的全部或一部分、在指定地區內，授權他人使用；授權未經商標專責機關登記，不能對抗第三人。

A trademark registration application from a foreign person may be rejected if their country lacks the relevant treaty relationship or does not reciprocally protect trademarks, or if Taiwan’s nationals’ trademark applications are not accepted there.

Exclusive trademark licensees may sublicense within the licensed scope unless the contract says otherwise. Non-exclusive licensees may not sublicense without consent, and an unregistered sublicense cannot be asserted against third parties.

在商標授權期間屆滿前，當事人或利害關係人可提出證據，申請廢止商標授權登記。

A trademark right transfer must be registered with the trademark authority to be effective against third parties.

When multiple trademark owners use the same or similar trademarks on similar goods or services that may confuse consumers, each owner must add an appropriate distinguishing label when using the mark.

商標權設定質權、變更或消滅，須經商標專責機關登記；未登記的，不能對抗第三人。質權人未經商標權人授權，不得使用該商標。

商標權人可以拋棄商標權；如果已辦理授權登記或質權登記，必須先取得被授權人或質權人的同意，且拋棄要以書面向商標專責機關提出。

共有商標權的授權、再授權、移轉、拋棄、設定質權，以及應有部分的移轉或設定質權，原則上都要全體共有人同意；但繼承、強制執行、法院判決或其他法律規定的移轉除外。

商標權在三種情況下會當然消滅：未依規定延展註冊、權利人死亡且無繼承人、或依規定拋棄商標權。

Anyone may oppose a trademark registration within 3 months after the registration notice if it violates specified provisions.

提出異議的人要在異議書寫明事實和理由並附副本；商標專責機關要把異議書送達商標權人請其在期限內答辯，之後也要把答辯書送達異議人請其陳述意見。

This provision defines “trademark use” as use for marketing purposes that is enough for relevant consumers to recognize the sign as a trademark.

判斷異議商標是否有違法註冊事由時，原則上依註冊公告當時的規定；但第一百零六條第一項與第三項另有例外。

商標異議案件應由沒有審查過原案的審查人員來審查。

If the trademark right is transferred during an opposition proceeding, the proceeding is not affected; the transferee may declare that it will take over the position of the opposed party and continue the proceeding.

異議人可以在異議審定前撤回異議；一旦撤回，就不能就同一事實、同一證據、同一理由再提異議或評定。

If an objection case is upheld, the registration must be revoked.

If the ground for cancellation exists only for some of the goods or services designated for a registered trademark, only that part may be revoked.

A person may not apply for evaluation of a registered trademark that has already had an opposition resolved, if the application is based on the same facts, evidence, and reasons.

利害關係人或審查人員可以請求商標專責機關評定商標註冊；若依第30條第1項第10款申請評定且該註冊已滿3年，申請人要附上近3年的使用證據，或未使用有正當事由的證明。

A challenge to a trademark registration is barred after five years from the registration announcement date if the registration violates the listed provisions; malicious violations under the specified Article 30 items are not subject to that five-year limit.

商標評定案件由商標專責機關首長指定三人以上的審查人員組成評定委員處理。

申請商標註冊等程序可以委任代理人辦理；但在中華民國境內沒有住所或營業所的人，必須委任代理人。商標代理人還要符合住所與資格條件，並完成登錄及每年在職訓練，才能執行業務。

If a case is assessed as established, the registration should be revoked. If the reason registration was not allowed no longer exists, the case may instead be assessed as not established after balancing public and party interests.

After a case has been disposed of, no person may apply again for assessment based on the same facts, the same evidence, and the same reasons.

For trademark review, the rules in Articles 48(2), 48(3), 49 to 53, and 55 apply mutatis mutandis.

商標專責機關在商標註冊後出現法定事由時，應依職權或依申請廢止該註冊。

If a trademark owner uses a mark that is different from the registered trademark but still keeps the same identity under common understanding, it is treated as use of the registered trademark.

商標專責機關要通知廢止申請並給商標權人答辯期限；申請人也要就答辯書陳述意見。

If there are grounds to revoke a trademark after registration, the rules in force when the revocation application is filed apply.

Several specified provisions apply mutatis mutandis when reviewing a revocation case, and Article 57(2)–(3) or Article 57(3) also apply in the listed trademark-revocation situations.

Using an identical or similar trademark, or making/selling/holding/displaying/importing/exporting related labels or packaging for marketing without the trademark owner’s consent, can constitute trademark infringement.

商標權人可以要求停止侵害、排除侵害，並可請求銷毀侵權物品與相關原料或器具；法院在審酌後也可作其他必要處置。

Two or more people who co-own a trademark must file the application together, and they may choose one representative to handle application procedures and receive documents for all co-owners.

Using a famous registered trademark without the trademark owner’s consent can be treated as infringement in the listed situations.

商標權人請求損害賠償時，可以四種方式擇一計算損害；如果金額顯然不相當，法院可以酌減。

商標權人可向海關申請先行查扣疑似侵權的進出口物品，但申請要書面提出、說明侵權事實並提供保證金或擔保。

符合特定情形時，海關應廢止查扣；若因前四款事由廢止，申請人要負擔相關費用。

申請人可能要賠償查扣造成的損害；海關在符合條件時，應依申請返還相關保證金。

海關發現疑似侵害商標權的進出口物品時，應通知商標權人和進出口人，並可依情況要求提出證明、暫不放行或放行。

海關可在保護查扣物機密資料的前提下，依申請同意檢視查扣物；商標權人可申請取得相關資料，但只能用於商標侵權調查與訴訟，且不得任意洩漏給第三人。

商標權人進行侵權認定時，可在符合條件下繳交保證金向海關申請借用貨樣；未按期限返還或貨樣有不符、缺損時，海關應留置保證金賠償進出口人損害。

主管機關會同財政部，或財政部，負責訂定相關辦法，規範第72條至第77條事項的程序、應備文件及其他相關事項。

A certification mark is a sign used to certify qualities or origin and distinguish certified goods or services from uncertified ones.
