B. Origin and evolution of trademark legal system in western countries: (1) Trademarks appeared with the appearance of commodities. Commercial revolution provides social and historical conditions for the development of trademark legal system. (2)1At the beginning of the 9th century, France initiated the trend of providing written law protection for trademarks. Its 1803 Law on Factories, Manufacturing and Workshops stipulates that counterfeiting trademarks should be punished as the act of forging documents without permission. (3) 1857 The Law on the Manufacture of Marks and Trademarks Based on the Principle of Use and Non-censorship (hereinafter referred to as the Law on Registered Trademarks) promulgated by France is the earliest trademark law in the world.
C. Historical evolution of China's trademark legal protection system: (1) Trademarks have a long history in China, but the trademark legislation in China is quite backward. (2) The earliest trademark legislation in China has a very strong semi-feudal and semi-colonial color. 1904, the Qing government promulgated the first trademark law in the history of China, the Articles of Association for Trial Trademark Registration. (3) After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), China began to implement a truly national unified trademark legal system. The legal protection of trademarks in New China can be roughly divided into three stages: a. Provisional regulations on trademark registration and its implementation rules; B. Regulations on the Administration of Trademarks and its detailed rules; C. current trademark law.
D. New development of trademark protection system: (1) With the adoption of international conventions in the field of trademarks, new requirements are put forward for the trademark legal systems of member countries. These international conventions include the Paris Convention, the madrid agreement concerning the international registration of marks, the madrid agreement concerning the international registration of marks Protocol, the Trademark Law Treaty and the Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. Since the 1980s, large-scale legal revision movements in various countries and regions have been related to these treaties. (2) In recent years, the process of regionalization and integration of world economy and trade has developed rapidly, and information communication technology has been continuously improved. At the same time, worldwide counterfeiting activities are increasingly rampant. The original trademark laws of various countries and regions have not adapted to the development needs of the objective world, and countries have revised their laws to adapt to this change. For example, the European Union ensures the protection of trademark rights through trademark integration. 1996, which came into effect, established a single trademark registration application system covering homophones. This system goes hand in hand with the trademark registration system of member countries. Trademarks registered under these regulations are called "* * * Homologous Trademarks" (C.T.M), and * * * Homologous Trademarks are valid in all member countries.
