摘　　要：具有地域性特点的商品的通用名称判定问题不仅仅关系到商标保护,与地理标志保护也密切相关。而判定标准的模糊导致在司法实践中,对于具有地域性特点商品的通用名称进行判定时往往会忽视地理标志与通用名称之间的冲突,不加区分地将地理标志或未注册但发挥地理标志作用的名称判定为通用名称。这种判定非但不利于地理标志的保护,也会损害生产者及消费者利益,导致市场竞争秩序的混乱。明确具有地域性特点的商品通用名称的判定标准才能够更好地划分清楚通用名称与地理标志的界限,更好地维护市场秩序,保护市场各方主体利益。在判定具有地域性特点商品的通用名称时,应当将是否具有地理意义作为判定的标准之一,倘若其仍能指示产地来源则不能将其判定为通用名称。The determination of the generic name of commodities with geographical features is also related to trade⁃mark protection and closely related to the protection of geographical indications.The vagueness of the judgment standard leads to the fact that in judicial practice when judging the generic name of goods with geographical features,the conflict between geographical indications and generic names is often ignored,and geographical in⁃dications or names that are not registered but play the role of geographical indications are judged as generic names indiscriminately.These judgments are not only harmful to the protection of geographical indications but also harm the interests of producers and consumers,eventually leading to the chaos of market competition order.Clarifying the judgment standard of the generic name of goods with geographical features can make the boundary between the generic name and geographical indications clearer.At the same time,it can better maintain the market order and protect the interests of all parties in the market.When determining the generic name of a commodity with geographical features,whether it has geographical significance should be regarded as one of the criteria.If it can still indicate the origin,it cannot be determined as a generic name.
