非商标标识作为域名的法律规制

域名使用中产生的争议,已经从单纯的域名与商标的争议扩展到域名与国际政府间组织的名称及其缩写、个人姓名、地理标志、企业名称和国际上未申请专利的药品名称等非商标标识方面的争议,为此,WIPO于2001年9月发布了“第二报告”,对如何处理滥用这些标识作为域名所引发的争议提出了建议.我国的域名立法很少涉及这方面的问题。应通过《民法通则》、《反不正当竞争法》等的运用和域名立法的完善使之得到解决。

The Legal Regulation of the Identifiers Other than Trademarks as Domain Names

The disputes arising from domain names have been expanded from those between simple domain names and trademarks to those between domain names and a range of naming systems, including the names and acronyms of international intergovernmental organizations, personal names, geographical indications, trade names and standard nonproprietary names for pharmaceutical substances.In 2001, WIPO promulgated its "Final Report of the Second Internet Domain Name Process" (the "Second Report") which makes recommendations on how to deal with these disputes.Domain name legislation of our country has seldom concerned these problems.We may eliminate these conflicts by using "General Principles of Civil Law", "Anti Unfair Competition Law" and perfecting domain name legislation.
