赞比亚：未注册商标不能作为异议理由

# 赞比亚：未注册商标不能作为异议理由

斯普尔和费舍尔
- 26 6 月 2016

### 2012 年 2 月 29 日，赞比亚最高法院宣布，在赞比亚的商标申请不得以较早的、类似但未注册的商标为由提出异议；即使那个较早的商标是众所周知的。

该法律声明（“赞比亚概念”）与许多其他司法管辖区的一般原则形成对比，即在某些情况下，如果商标与现有但未注册的商标具有欺骗性，则它们不可注册。赞比亚的概念是由商标注册官于 2009 年 3 月在 Olivine Industries 诉 DH Brothers Industries 的第 111/2005 DAILY 异议号中提出的。

所有人和从业者必须注意，与大多数英联邦和其他司法管辖区不同，赞比亚现在是一个“先申请”国家，未注册商标无论多么知名，都无法提供异议程序的理由。然而，它在假冒行为中可能仍然有用。
