[Judgment Abstract] [裁判摘要]
In the trial of a case concerning administrative dispute over design patent granting and confirmation, when judging whether the exclusive right to use the registered trademark is a prior lawful right by applying the provisions of subparagraph 3 of Article 23 of the Patent Law, so long as the trademark application date is prior to the patent application date and the trademark registration has been approved and the trademark is still effective when a claim for invalidation of the patent is raised, the exclusive right to use the registered trademark that is applied earlier may be operative against the design patent right applied later and be used to judge whether the design patent right is in conflict with it. 在审理外观设计专利权授权确权行政纠纷案件中,适用专利法二十三条第三款判断注册商标专用权是否构成合法在先权利时,只要商标申请日在专利申请日之前,且在提起专利无效宣告请求时商标已被核准注册并仍然有效,在先申请的注册商标专用权就可以对抗在后申请的外观设计专利权,用于判断外观设计专利权是否与之相冲突。

The Supreme People's Court legally formed a collegial penal and conducted a review of this case. At present, the review has been concluded. 再审申请人国家知识产权局专利复审委员会(以下简称专利复审委员会)因与被申请人白象食品股份有限公司(原河南省正龙食品有限公司,以下简称白象公司)、一审第三人陈朝晖外观设计专利权无效行政纠纷一案,不服北京市高级人民法院(2011)高行终字第1733号行政判决,向本院申请再审。本院依法组成合议庭对本案进行了审查,现已审查终结。
...... 

专利复审委员会申请再审称:(一)二审判决关于白象公司主张的在先权利是基于商标在先申请而享有的商标申请权的认定,违反了请求原则。根据请求原则,专利复审委员会通常情况下仅针对无效请求人提出的无效宣告请求、理由和证据进行审查,不承担全面审查专利有效性的义务。本案中,白象公司在无效程序中从未提出本专利与其在先取得的商标申请权相冲突的无效理由,而是以商标专用权作为在先权利,在二审答辩时才主张商标申请权。 二审判决以被诉决定未审查本专利与商标申请权是否相冲突为由撤销被诉决定,缺乏事实和法律依据。(二)二审判决认为商标申请权属于2000年修正的《中华人民共和国专利法》(以下简称2000年专利法)第二十三条规定的在先权利,适用法律错误。在先权利应当是合法权利,具有法律依据,否则专利实施行为就不可能构成侵权行为,也不会产生权利冲突。根据《中华人民共和国商标法》(以下简称商标法)的规定,并不存在商标申请权;商标申请权也不属于《商标评审规则》规定的“与商标评审有关的权利”。(三)即使将商标申请权当作一项合法权利,外观设计专利权也不会与之相冲突。2000年专利法二十三条所规定的权利冲突,是指未经在先权利人许可,外观设计专利使用了在先合法权利的客体,从而导致专利权的实施将会损害在先权利人的相关合法权利或者权益。无论将商标申请权理解为请求权还是财产权利,其核心仍在于获得注册商标专用权的资格。根据商标法的规定,外观设计专利的实施并不会妨碍商标申请权的行使,包括申请人对商标申请的处分,也就不会损害商标申请人在其后依法获得注册商标专用权。换言之,商标申请人获得商标专用权的权益并未遭受损害,不具备构成侵权的要件。事实上,外观设计专利的实施会导致消费者将使用该外观设计的商品误认为是来源于另一厂家,其实际上侵犯的还是注册商标专用权,而非商标申请权。商标申请权不可能成为被外观设计专利实施行为侵犯的对象。综上,一、二审判决认定事实不清、适用法律错误,请求撤销一、二审判决,维持第14261号无效宣告请求审查决定(以下简称第14261号决定)。

 白象公司提交意见称:专利复审委员会的再审申请缺乏事实与法律依据,请求予以驳回。
 本院审查查明:针对本次无效宣告请求,专利复审委员会2009年11月18日的口头审理记录第4页记载:“合议组组长:请求人,在先取得以哪个时间为界限?请求人:商标权是97年12月12日申请的。以商标的申请日作为在先取得的时间,这个时间在本专利申请日前,所以属于与他人在先取得的合法权利相冲突。”
 白象公司持有的第1506193号商标的申请日为1997年12月12日,初步审定公告日为2000年10月14日,核准注册日为2001年1月14日。产品名称为“食品包装袋”的第00333252.7号外观设计专利(即本专利)由陈朝晖于2000年10月16日提出申请,于2001年5月2日被授权公告。
