奧運健兒姓名被搶注商標

The Chinese Olympic Committee has called for a halt to improper trademark registrations that use the names of Olympic athletes. The committee said in a statement on Wednesday that all sectors of society should respect the legitimate rights and interests of athletes and comply with Chinese laws, such as the Civil Code, the Trademark Law and the Anti-Unfair Competition Law, when conducting commercial activities.

中國奧委會8月18日發(fā)布提示，不得以奧運健兒姓名惡意搶注商標。中國奧委會在聲明中稱，社會各界開展相關(guān)商業(yè)活動，應(yīng)切實尊重運動員合法權(quán)益，遵守《中華人民共和國民法典》《中華人民共和國商標法》 《中華人民共和國反不正當競爭法》等相關(guān)法律法規(guī)規(guī)定。

"Without getting permission from the Olympic athletes or guardians of minor players, no one should register their names as trademarks or take other actions that infringe on the rights of their names or other rights," it said. "If such acts occur, the application for trademark registration should be suspended or withdrawn in a timely manner."

如未獲得運動員本人或未成年運動員監(jiān)護人授權(quán)，不得以奧運健兒姓名惡意搶注商標或有其他侵犯運動員姓名權(quán)等合法權(quán)益的行為;有上述行為的，應(yīng)及時撤回和停止實施商標注冊申請。

It added that the athletes or guardians of young players have the right to sue violators.
