| 摘要: |
| 澳大利亚烟草平装措施限制了烟草产品商标所有权人行使商标的权利，致使部分WTO成员质疑该措施违反了TRIPS协议相关条款，尤其是TRIPS协议第20条。TRIPS协议第20条能够产生限制商标所有权人权利的效果，规定了在贸易过程中使用、存在特殊要求和特殊要求不得产生无理妨碍等3个适用要件。虽然澳大利亚烟草平装措施已对贸易过程中的烟草产品商标使用产生了特殊要求并且构成妨碍，但没有形成无理妨碍。因此，TRIPS协议第20条可以适用于澳大利亚烟草平装措施。 |

| Abstract: |
| The Australian plain packaging measures could limit the right of the trademark’ s owner of tobacco products to use the trademark and some WTO members think these measures appear to be inconsistent with its obligations under the following provisions of the TRIPS Agreement, especially Article 20 of TRIPS. Article 20 of TRIPS may limit the right of the trademark’ s owner, and there are three applicable conditions, including“in the course of trade”,“special requirements”and“unjustifiably encumbered”. Although the Australian plain packaging measures may result in special requirements to the use of trademarks for tobacco products in the course of trade and encumber the use of trademarks for tobacco products, but the use of trademarks for tobacco products shouldn’ t be unjustifiably encumbered by these measures. Article 20 of TRIPS can apply to the Australian plain packaging measures. |
