北京市第一中级人民法院、北京市高级人民法院经审理查明:2005年10月20日,劲牌有限公司向国家工商行政管理总局商标局(简称商标局)申请在第33类果酒(含酒精)、开胃酒、蒸馏饮料、葡萄酒、酒 (饮料)、米酒、含酒精液体、酒精饮料(啤酒除外)、黄酒、食用酒精等商品上注册第 4953206号“中国劲酒”商标(简称申请商标)。2008年2月26日,商标局作出ZC4953206BH1号商标驳回通知书,认为申请商标内含我国国名,不得作为商标使用,不宜注册,根据《中华人民共和国商标法》(简称《商标法》)第十条第一款第(一)项、第二十八条的规定,驳回申请商标的注册申请。劲牌有限公司不服该驳回决定,向商标评审委员会申请复审认为:申请商标中的主体“劲”是劲牌有限公司已经注册的商标,具有很高的知名度,已经被认定为驰名商标。申请商标中的“中国”与“劲”字的字体、表现形式均不相同,“中国”在申请商标中仅仅起到表示申请人所属国的作用。根据《商标审查及审理标准》,申请商标不在禁止注册的范围之列,劲牌有限公司请求商标评审委员会给予申请商标初步审定。2008年11月24日,商标评审委员会作出商评字[2008]第28028号《关于第 4953206号“中国劲酒”商标驳回复审决定书》(简称第28028号决定),认为:申请商标中的“中国”为我国国家名称,属于《商标法》十条第一款第(一)项明确规定不得作为商标使用的标志,依法应予驳回。劲牌有限公司关于在其较有知名度的商标中加入“中国”就可当然获准注册的主张缺乏法律依据。因此,商标评审委员会决定驳回申请商标的注册申请。@#
劲牌有限公司不服第28028号决定,向北京市第一中级人民法院提起行政诉讼称:申请商标虽含有我国国名,但申请商标与我国国名并不相同也不近似,商标评审委员会适用《商标法》十条第一款第(一)项错误,请求撤销第28028号决定。北京市第一中级人民法院一审认为:申请商标为“中国劲酒”文字及方章图形共同构成的组合商标,其中文字“劲”字体为行书体,与其他三字字体不同,字型苍劲有力,明显突出于方章左侧,且明显大于其他三字,是申请商标的显著识别部分。方章图案中的“中国酒”三字,字体明显有别于“劲”字,虽然包含有中国国名,但该国名部分更容易使消费者理解为商标申请人的所属国。商标评审委员会作出的第28028号决定仅以申请商标中的“中国”为我国国家名称为由,即认定申请商标属于《商标法》十条第一款第(一)项规定的不得作为商标使用的标志,主要证据不足。北京市第一中级人民法院于2009年4月7日作出(2009)一中行初字第441号行政判决,依据《中华人民共和国行政诉讼法》第五十四条第(二)项第 1目之规定,判决撤销第28028号决定。案件受理费100元,由商标评审委员会负担。@#
