With the development of market economy, the added value of
trademark to enterprises is increasing day by day. At the same time, the
malicious rush registration of trademark is also becoming more and more
serious. Such as “Wang Zhihe trademark rush case”, “sunflower pharmaceutical
trademark rush case” and so on, bring a lot of trouble to the enterprise. It can
be seen that the malicious rush registration of trademarks is a “sharp blade”
that endangers the order of market competition and the healthy and orderly
development of enterprises, and it should be strictly regulated. Although the
new trademark law, which will come into effect on November 1, 2019, has
amended and added a number of provisions against malicious rush registration,
which has filled some gaps. However, due to the general and vague provisions,
the regulation effect of malicious rush registration is not very obvious. In view
of this, it is necessary to start from the thorny field of trademark malicious
rush registration, based on the perspective of comparative law, properly learn
from foreign reasonable experience, and combine with the current reality of
our country to improve. For example, increase the “freeze period” of trademark
transfer, trademark registrants regularly provide trademark use instructions,
and increase malicious rush registration in the content of punitive damages.
