埃塞俄比亚最近的知识产权法院判决

# 埃塞俄比亚最近的知识产权法院判决

### 埃塞俄比亚的重要知识产权法院判决

埃塞俄比亚有两个重要的知识产权法院判决，最近已经过审查。埃塞俄比亚知识产权法院的判决似乎非常罕见。 **令人困惑的相似商标 – Hybrid Designs PLC v SeregelaRide Taxi Services PLC，联邦高等法院，2021 年 10 月**

出租车供应商 Hybrid Designs 使用注册商标 Ride 商标。当竞争对手开始以 Seregela Ride 商标提供类似服务时，Hybrid Designs 因商标侵权而被起诉。 Hybrid 声称存在混淆的可能性，并要求禁令和损害赔偿。 Seregela 在第 39 类和第 42 类中注册了 Seregela 名称的商标，但该注册没有“'*骑'*. Seregela 声称“*骑*' 是通用的，任何一方都不应该拥有它的专有权。有人认为，Ride 和 Seregela Ride 的标记并不相似。有人争辩说，Hybrid Designs 的商标注册仅限于第 42 类的软件服务，因此不扩展到第 39 类的运输服务。 法院裁定 Hybrid Designs 胜诉，称 Ride 一词与 Seregela 名称一起使用侵犯了 Ride 商标的权利。它发布了一项禁令，要求 Seregela 停止使用 Ride 这个词作为其商标的一部分。法院指出没有证明实际损害，因此没有下令支付损害赔偿。

**互惠——艾哈迈德·阿卜杜拉赫曼和伊利的洗涤剂工业公司，联邦最高法院，2021 年 8 月 5 日**

这是该国最高法院联邦最高法院上诉庭的判决。

该案涉及一家索马里公司针对一家埃塞俄比亚公司提出的三项商标申请提出异议。这家埃塞俄比亚公司辩称，反对意见无效，因为埃塞俄比亚与索马里没有互惠协议。

法院认为，异议已被有效提出，缺乏互惠协议不是决定性的。**它提出了以下几点：**

- 互惠原则不一定与国际协议挂钩——它是给予外国公民权利以换取这些国家给予埃塞俄比亚人同样的权利。

- 尽管没有互惠协议，但埃塞俄比亚自 1986 年以来一直以允许商标申请和异议的形式给予索马里互惠。埃塞俄比亚已经注册了大约 11,000 个属于外国人的商标。

- 给予互惠对于增加外国直接投资和避免因寻求国外保护而遭到报复很重要。

- 如果外国人有权申请商标，则必须遵循他们也有权反对他人的商标以捍卫自己的权利。
