摘　　要：欧盟商标改革方案除了涉及共同体商标注册续展费用降低,要求成员国取消对拒绝注册的相对理由的依职权事先审查等程序改革之外,还将"双重相同"使用仅限于保护商标的识别功能、规定无需证明过境商品将会投放到欧盟市场就可以认定侵权,并要求成员国必须对声誉商标提供反淡化和反不公平利用保护。此次改革认可了欧洲法院对声誉商标淡化和不公平利用基于抽象"商标功能"概念和"淡化理论"的反不正当竞争分析思路,对商标法赋予更多的反不正当竞争使命,使商标法在竞争政策的导向上更侧重于维护自由竞争和更高效的市场竞争秩序。此次改革方案反映了欧盟进一步深化商标一体化和强化商标保护的愿望,在商标法一体化框架下进一步推进了更为艰巨的欧盟不正当竞争法一体化进程。The European trademark reform packet includes reforms of both procedural law and substantive law. Procedural reform covers the reduction of renewal fees and the abolishment of ex officio relevant grounds examination while the substantive reform relates to the extended scope of protection against trademark dilution and unfair use and trademark infringement concerning goods in transit. The reform packet proposal recognizes the analysis of infringement of reputation mark from the perspective of unfair competition in the practice of European Court of Justice, making trademark law more competition-oriented. This reform indicates the ambition of EU to promote further harmonization and strengthen the trademark protection, and promotes further harmonization of national unfair competition laws under the framework of trademark law.
