Clearvu 判决）中，南非最高法院 (SCA) 认为，将竞争对手的商标作为 Adword 竞标的公司不一定犯有非法竞争或侵犯商标权。 法院表示，只有当竞标该商标的公司故意让公众相信其商品或服务与商标所有人有关时，该行为才会违法。 然而，在此诉讼中还有一个需要解决的问题，现在已由 SCA 决定。作为针对针对安全防护的 Clearvu 商标注册申请提出的异议的一部分，SCA 需要决定应对注册施加哪些背书或免责声明（如果有）。 这要求 SCA 更详细地检查免责声明和其他背书的问题。处理商标 Clearvu 是术语“清晰视图”的语音等价物这一点——该术语在安全围栏的背景下显然是相关的——SCA 说： *“一个非特征性词的语音等价物本身就是非特征性的，似乎可以得出这样的结论，如果这个词本身是一个应该被放弃的词，那么它的语音等价物也应该被放弃。”* 因此，SCA 认为，放弃独家使用这些词的权利* '清除' *和 '*看法'* 将是合适的，即使这个词 *'看法' *实际上并不在商标中。此外，SCA 认为，认可注册不会阻止其他人对这些词进行通常的描述性使用* '清晰的视野'* 和 *'看法' *也很合适。 ### 这一判断被认为很重要，因为关于免责声明和其他认可的判例很少。
