[防伪](https://spoor.com/zh/tag/anti-counterfeiting/), [海关](https://spoor.com/zh/tag/customs/), [肯尼亚](https://spoor.com/zh/tag/kenya/), [商标](https://spoor.com/zh/tag/trade-marks/), Please refer to our earlier article in [May 2022](https://spoor.com/kenya-clarity-on-the-need-for-aca-recordal-of-ip-rights/) and our most recent article in [July 2023](https://spoor.com/kenya-mandatory-ip-rights-recordal/). 肯尼亚有专门的反假冒立法，即 2008 年第 13 号反假冒法，以及专门的反假冒机构，反假冒管理局（[ACA](https://www.aca.go.ke/)）。一段时间以来，对于在肯尼亚销售商品的知识产权所有者是否需要在 ACA 单独注册其商标，一直存在混淆。 ## 一些背景——双重注册 今年早些时候，肯尼亚引入了所谓的“双重注册”系统。这意味着向肯尼亚进口商品的知识产权所有者将被要求在 ACA 单独注册其知识产权——值得注意的是，尽管肯尼亚当局使用知识产权 (IPR) 一词，但假设是这主要是关于商标的。 **未在 ACA 注册将构成犯罪。** ACA Recordal 注册流程已经实施了几个月。而且相当繁琐——需要相当多的细节，包括权利人、产品制造国（这是强制性的）以及外国用户和分销商的身份。 需要提供商品样品或数码照片，以及商标注册和续展证明的证据。 一切就绪后，ACA 检查员将拥有与海关官员相同的权力来处理进口假冒商品。似乎的想法是，ACA 备案过程将导致更多的假冒商品在入境口岸被查获。 ### 备案截止日期临近 知识产权备案实施之日起生效 **2023 年 1 月 1 日**.从该日期起，进口带有知识产权但尚未记录的商品将构成犯罪——此类商品将被扣押并起诉进口商。 ### 我们最近与 ACA 的讨论 我们发起这些讨论是因为我们觉得有很多不确定性。应当指出，法律规定的内容与实践中可接受的内容之间存在差异。 **ACA 告诉我们以下信息：** - 2023 年 1 月之前获得的注册实际上只会从 2023 年 1 月开始运行。 - 就 ACA 而言，ACA 备案基本上都是关于商标的，而不是其他知识产权——ACA 很清楚它无法处理专利备案这一事实。令人困惑的是，ACA 确实继续说可以包括其他知识产权（注册外观设计似乎最有可能）。 - 备案应仅限于公司最重要的商标。 ACA 表示，它将无法处理大公司的全部商标注册组合的记录。如果一家公司有多个注册，ACA 的建议是它应该选择最合适的一个。我们可以想象，这通常可能是“房屋标志”。 - 备案将不限于肯尼亚的知识产权，其他国家的商标注册可以构成 ACA 备案的基础。我们的建议是获得肯尼亚注册，特别是如果商标被用于进口到该国的商品上。 ### 这到底是什么意思？ 这肯定不像人们想的那么清楚。但我们理解的过程如下： - 在肯尼亚开展业务的商标所有人应在 ACA 记录其最重要的肯尼亚（或实际上是外国）商标注册。 - 申请获得批准后，ACA 将以防伪安全装置的形式颁发认证标志。这将在稍后实施。 - ACA 可以销毁任何不带有该设备的货物。 - 备案的有效期为自备案批准之日起一年或知识产权注册的剩余期限，以较短者为准——续展申请必须在到期前至少 30 天提交。品牌所有者有责任将备案中包含的商标注册通知 ACA，该商标注册在 ACA 备案期间已更新。在这个阶段，该软件不允许修改备案申请，似乎需要与 ACA 进行新的备案。 - 如果商标注册被转让或所有权变更，则必须将这些变更通知 ACA。 - 原材料/半成品无需备案。 - 服务标志无需备案。 ### 注释 在肯尼亚销售商品的商标所有人将在未来每年向 ACA 注册其权利。我们能够协助我们的客户注册这些权利。 确实出现的一个问题是，ACA 是否会利用这项立法来扣押进入肯尼亚的真品。 我们与肯尼亚官员的讨论表明情况并非如此，整个目的是防止假冒商品进入该国。 然而，通知中没有任何内容表明这一点。 我们预计，随着 ACA 在实践中掌握该系统，该过程将在未来几年内进行微调，但目前，我们建议品牌所有者向 ACA 申请记录其商标权以避免复杂化进口到肯尼亚并满足 ACA 设定的即时要求。 如果您需要任何进一步的信息，请随时联系您常用的 Spoor & Fisher 联系人。
