http://www.sina.com.cn 2010年03月30日04:44 大河网-河南日报
本报记者樊 霞
“红丝带”象征着对艾滋病人和感染者的关心与支持，对生命的热爱和对和平的渴望，象征着要用“心”来参与预防艾滋病工作的国际性公益事业，然而却有人将“红丝带标志和名称”抢注成商标来牟利。6万民间志愿者奋起抵制，历经4年终于等来喜讯。
A
一份四年后的裁定书
红丝带志愿者郭保刚今年40岁，是个不形于色的人，这几天却意外地情绪高昂，脸上笑眯眯的。
3月26日，郭保刚前往中国工商总局商标局，拿到了一纸裁定书，这份裁定书上明确标明：红丝带为关注艾滋病防治问题的国际性标志，用于制定服务项目上作为商标易产生不良的社会影响，根据有关规定，异议人所提异议理由成立，“红丝带及图”商标不予核准注册。
异议人就是郭保刚和其他“红丝带”志愿者，而这份裁定书的内容也是他们等待了4年之久的结果。
红丝带是呼唤全社会关注艾滋病的防治问题，理解、关爱艾滋病病毒感染者及艾滋病病人的国际性标志。四年前，面对“红丝带”及图即将被申请注册为商标，他们奋起抵制，在网络上、现实中发起了声势浩大的签名活动。此活动前后延续近4年，共有6万多人签名反对将“红丝带”注册成商标。
“4年了，4年后居然传来了这么大的好消息，没想到没想到。”郭保刚一迭声地说，“说实话，我们对能否胜诉心里真没谱。”

“红丝带”被抢注
郭保刚，驻马店市人，多年奔波在艾滋病防治第一线的民间志愿者。2002年与同伴们共同发起民间志愿者网站中华红丝带网（http://www.chinaredribbon.com），他们以网站为爱心平台，长期宣传预防艾滋病知识、呼吁社会消除歧视、关怀艾滋病人群的同时，他们还在农村建立儿童活动中心，与伙伴们共同救助着200余名艾滋孤儿。
2006年7月的一天，民间志愿者郭保刚登录中国工商总局商标局网站“中国商标网”（http://sbj.saic.gov.cn），通过查询 “红丝带”商标，竟然有21条记录。其中，有6个商标已经获准使用，另有7项已经进入初审公告期。这些已经获得专用权或正在申请注册的“红丝带”商标涉及服装、避孕套、药品、拍卖、推销、医院、皮革保养、广告传播等上百个行业，并且部分商标的商标图像和国际上通用的“红丝带”图像非常接近。其中河北人王某一次就申请注册了14个类别的100多种商品。
查询后的结果令郭保刚又惊又怒，“红丝带象征着我们对艾滋病患者和感染者的关心与支持；象征着我们对生命的热爱和对平等的渴望；象征着我们要用‘心’来参与预防艾滋病的工作。”作为一项公益事业的标志，红丝带却被个别人、个别公司出于商业目的抢注为商标，“这是对社会公益环境的破坏”。
事情还在继续。2006年9月7日，国家商标局公告了王某在第36类申请的“红丝带商标”，他所申请的其他类别“红丝带商标”也陆续进入公告期，这是最大规模的一次抢注红丝带商标事件。

志愿者们奋起抵制
郭保刚坐不住了，开始多方联系，反映有关的具体情况以及如果被抢注成功可能产生的不良后果，希望能有某个部门或组织出面对红丝带商标被抢注提出异议。一个多月过去了，郭保刚没有等到任何回音。
3个月的公告期再等几周就要结束了，眼看着红丝带标志这次抢注事件就要获批准通过，郭保刚和其他志愿者焦急万分。情急之中，他们提出了一个大胆设想，“能否以红丝带志愿者的身份对这个商标提出异议？”
志愿者们开始查找相关资料和以往类似的案例，希望能够参考，但却没有找到一例关于民间对公益标志遭抢注商标以后的维权先例。万般无奈之下，“我们想到了向专业的知识产权事务所求助，联系了许多家事务所，对方都觉得这个事情比较难办，并且提出除了必须缴纳给商标局的1000元受理费，还需要支付1000元至5000元的代理费用。”郭保刚回忆说。
令人感到欣慰的是，北京的两家知识产权事务所答应愿意无偿代理有关法律事务。2006年10月16日，郭保刚、杨卫东两位志愿者拿出自己生活费中节省下来的1000元钱缴纳受理费，带着大家共同写好的红丝带商标异议书，一起递交到国家商标局。与此同时，在郭保刚的呼吁下，深圳市义工联的5名义工，自愿凑了1000元钱，对王某申请注册的另一类商标，也向国家商标局递交了异议申请。

获支持6万人签名
为了证明红丝带作为一个公益活动标志的广泛性和重要性，红丝带志愿者们在现实生活中、网络上发出倡议，在全国一些大中小学及社区开展“维护红丝带标志、发扬红丝带精神”的万人签名活动，并同步在网上进行签名抵制活动。
“我们打算把全部签名进行整理统计之后在2006年12月1日（世界艾滋病日）当天递交国家商标局。”郭保刚解释这样的活动，就是希望引起工商总局的关注。
出乎郭保刚意料的是，他们奋起维护公益环境的行动迅速得到了各地支持和响应。哈尔滨工业大学、华南农大、北京科技大学及多所高校大学生陆续加入到签名活动中，甚至包括福建晋江特教学校、湖北襄樊高中等一些中小学生也加入到这场民间维护公益环境的行动中。
自此，国内首例民间维护公益标志的行动正式开始，中华红丝带网在国内第一个走上了公益标志的维权之路。
义工和热心网友们的活跃度令人惊讶。深圳市义工联的宝安区红丝带义工积极在社区征集签名，那些印有“维护红丝带标志、发扬红丝带精神”的各色条幅上写满了热心市民的签名。
网友“英歌飞扬”在网上也开展了签名活动，一个歌迷留言说：“支持中国公益事业，坚决反对把‘红丝带’这个公益品牌用于任何的商业产品”。
许多艾滋病感染者也对这次爱心行动表示感谢。一个HIV感染者激动地对红丝带志愿者说：“红丝带志愿者在积极关怀艾滋病人群，社会的歧视也正在减少，有人却想把红丝带抢注成商标，这事绝对抵制到底。”
按照计划，各地民间志愿者将征集的签名和现场图片陆续汇总到一起，经过统计签名人数竟然达4万多人。2006年12月1日，在北京方韬知识产权事务所工作人员的热心陪同下，由北京的6名志愿者拿着着各式签名原件，与“红丝带”商标异议申请书一起再次送交给中国工商总局商标局。商标局的工作人员在接收后表示，将认真进行审理并回复结果。
对于志愿者们的热情，一些法律界人士对此表示钦佩，但却心存疑虑地说：关于“公益标志”被抢注后的民间维权行动没有先例可以参照，对此提出异议的又是普通公民，这个事情只有引起全社会的重视，才有机会获得成功。
事实也的确如此。郭保刚并没有必胜的信心，在长达4年的维权活动中，郭保刚和其他志愿者都是忐忑不安的心情。
但是，郭保刚与同伴们并没有停止呼吁。在以后的3年多时间里，又收到两万多人的自发签名，共同支持这场民间保护公益标志行动。
E
迟来的喜讯
2010年3月23日，正在村小学里为艾滋病人家庭孩子送学习用品的郭保刚，突然接到北京的一个电话：“你在2006年对红丝带商标提出的异议，经过国家商标局审理做出裁定：该红丝带商标及图不予核准注册，这是你们的胜利！”
那一刹那，郭保刚有些反应不过来。
“我想告诉以前参加过签名的各位志愿者朋友，我们赢了。”郭保刚说，4年了，志愿者们来来去去，许多人都无法联系上，“但这个好消息无论如何都得设法告诉他们。”
由于某些人的商业动机，却使全国6万多人参与公益标志民间维权路，走了近4年才获得今天的胜利。郭保刚在喜悦的同时又不禁感叹：公益性标志或名称能否有办法禁止被注册或被利用？
另一个新的考验是，一家安全套厂家仍在使用商标“红丝带”，按照国家有关方面的官方发言精神和此次反注册的胜利，郭保刚考虑：能否申请撤销该厂家使用“红丝带”及图的商标权利？
显然，郭保刚即将选择的道路依然是任重而道远。③14

“紅絲帶”標誌遭搶注之後
http://www.sina.com.cn 2010年03月30日04:44 大河網-河南日報
本報記者樊 霞
“紅絲帶”象徵著對艾滋病人和感染者的關心與支持，對生命的熱愛和對和平的渴望，象徵著要用“心”來參與預防艾滋病工作的國際性公益事業，然而卻有人將“紅絲帶標誌和名稱”搶注成商標來牟利。 6萬民間志願者奮起抵制，歷經4年終於等來喜訊。
A
一份四年後的裁定書
紅絲帶志願者郭保剛今年40歲，是個不形於色的人，這幾天卻意外地情緒高昂，臉上笑瞇瞇的。
3月26日，郭保剛前往中國工商總局商標局，拿到了一紙裁定書，這份裁定書上明確標明：紅絲帶為關注艾滋病防治問題的國際性標誌，用於製定服務項目上作為商標易產生不良的社會影響，根據有關規定，異議人所提異議理由成立，“紅絲帶及圖”商標不予核准註冊。
異議人就是郭保剛和其他“紅絲帶”志願者，而這份裁定書的內容也是他們等待了4年之久的結果。
紅絲帶是呼喚全社會關注艾滋病的防治問題，理解、關愛艾滋病病毒感染者及艾滋病病人的國際性標誌。四年前，面對“紅絲帶”及圖即將被申請註冊為商標，他們奮起抵制，在網絡上、現實中發起了聲勢浩大的簽名活動。此活動前後延續近4年，共有6萬多人簽名反對將“紅絲帶”註冊成商標。
“4年了，4年後居然傳來了這麼大的好消息，沒想到沒想到。”郭保剛一迭聲地說，“說實話，我們對能否勝訴心裡真沒譜。”

“紅絲帶”被搶注
郭保剛，駐馬店市人，多年奔波在艾滋病防治第一線的民間志願者。 2002年與同伴們共同發起民間志願者網站中華紅絲帶網（http://www.chinaredribbon.com），他們以網站為愛心平台，長期宣傳預防艾滋病知識、呼籲社會消除歧視、關懷艾滋病人群的同時，他們還在農村建立兒童活動中心，與夥伴們共同救助著200餘名艾滋孤兒。
2006年7月的一天，民間志願者郭保剛登錄中國工商總局商標局網站“中國商標網”（http://sbj.saic.gov.cn），通過查詢“紅絲帶”商標，竟然有21條記錄。其中，有6個商標已經獲准使用，另有7項已經進入初審公告期。這些已經獲得專用權或正在申請註冊的“紅絲帶”商標涉及服裝、避孕套、藥品、拍賣、推銷、醫院、皮革保養、廣告傳播等上百個行業，並且部分商標的商標圖像和國際上通用的“紅絲帶”圖像非常接近。其中河北人王某一次就申請註冊了14個類別的100多種商品。
查詢後的結果令郭保剛又驚又怒，“紅絲帶象徵著我們對艾滋病患者和感染者的關心與支持；象徵著我們對生命的熱愛和對平等的渴望；象徵著我們要用'心'來參與預防艾滋病的工作。”作為一項公益事業的標誌，紅絲帶卻被個別人、個別公司出於商業目的搶注為商標，“這是對社會公益環境的破壞”。
事情還在繼續。 2006年9月7日，國家商標局公告了王某在第36類申請的“紅絲帶商標”，他所申請的其他類別“紅絲帶商標”也陸續進入公告期，這是最大規模的一次搶注紅絲帶商標事件。

志願者們奮起抵制
郭保剛坐不住了，開始多方聯繫，反映有關的具體情況以及如果被搶注成功可能產生的不良後果，希望能有某個部門或組織出面對紅絲帶商標被搶注提出異議。一個多月過去了，郭保剛沒有等到任何回音。
3個月的公告期再等幾週就要結束了，眼看著紅絲帶標誌這次搶注事件就要獲批准通過，郭保剛和其他志願者焦急萬分。情急之中，他們提出了一個大膽設想，“能否以紅絲帶志願者的身份對這個商標提出異議？”
志願者們開始查找相關資料和以往類似的案例，希望能夠參考，但卻沒有找到一例關於民間對公益標誌遭搶注商標以後的維權先例。萬般無奈之下，“我們想到了向專業的知識產權事務所求助，聯繫了許多家事務所，對方都覺得這個事情比較難辦，並且提出除了必須繳納給商標局的1000元受理費，還需要支付1000元至5000元的代理費用。”郭保剛回憶說。
令人感到欣慰的是，北京的兩家知識產權事務所答應願意無償代理有關法律事務。 2006年10月16日，郭保剛、楊衛東兩位志願者拿出自己生活費中節省下來的1000元錢繳納受理費，帶著大家共同寫好的紅絲帶商標異議書，一起遞交到國家商標局。與此同時，在郭保剛的呼籲下，深圳市義工聯的5名義工，自願湊了1000元錢，對王某申請註冊的另一類商標，也向國家商標局遞交了異議申請。

獲支持6萬人簽名
為了證明紅絲帶作為一個公益活動標誌的廣泛性和重要性，紅絲帶志願者們在現實生活中、網絡上發出倡議，在全國一些大中小學及社區開展“維護紅絲帶標誌、發揚紅絲帶精神”的萬人簽名活動，並同步在網上進行簽名抵制活動。
“我們打算把全部簽名進行整理統計之後在2006年12月1日（世界艾滋病日）當天遞交國家商標局。”郭保剛解釋這樣的活動，就是希望引起工商總局的關注。
出乎郭保剛意料的是，他們奮起維護公益環境的行動迅速得到了各地支持和響應。哈爾濱工業大學、華南農大、北京科技大學及多所高校大學生陸續加入到簽名活動中，甚至包括福建晉江特教學校、湖北襄樊高中等一些中小學生也加入到這場民間維護公益環境的行動中。
自此，國內首例民間維護公益標誌的行動正式開始，中華紅絲帶網在國內第一個走上了公益標誌的維權之路。
義工和熱心網友們的活躍度令人驚訝。深圳市義工聯的寶安區紅絲帶義工積極在社區徵集簽名，那些印有“維護紅絲帶標誌、發揚紅絲帶精神”的各色條幅上寫滿了熱心市民的簽名。
網友“英歌飛揚”在網上也開展了簽名活動，一個歌迷留言說：“支持中國公益事業，堅決反對把'紅絲帶'這個公益品牌用於任何的商業產品”。
許多艾滋病感染者也對這次愛心行動表示感謝。一個HIV感染者激動地對紅絲帶志願者說：“紅絲帶志願者在積極關懷艾滋病人群，社會的歧視也正在減少，有人卻想把紅絲帶搶注成商標，這事絕對抵製到底。”
按照計劃，各地民間志願者將徵集的簽名和現場圖片陸續匯總到一起，經過統計簽名人數竟然達4萬多人。 2006年12月1日，在北京方韜知識產權事務所工作人員的熱心陪同下，由北京的6名志願者拿著著各式簽名原件，與“紅絲帶”商標異議申請書一起再次送交給中國工商總局商標局。商標局的工作人員在接收後表示，將認真進行審理並回复結果。
對於志願者們的熱情，一些法律界人士對此表示欽佩，但卻心存疑慮地說：關於“公益標誌”被搶注後的民間維權行動沒有先例可以參照，對此提出異議的又是普通公民，這個事情只有引起全社會的重視，才有機會獲得成功。
事實也的確如此。郭保剛並沒有必勝的信心，在長達4年的維權活動中，郭保剛和其他志願者都是忐忑不安的心情。

A
Four years later, ruling in a book
Red Ribbon volunteers Guo Bao-Gang 40-year-old, is without form or color of people in these few days, but unexpectedly good spirits and smiling faces of the.
March 26, Guo Bao-gang went to the Chinese SAIC Trademark Office, ruled that the book got a piece of paper, this ruling clearly marked on the book: Red Ribbon concerned about the issues at the international symbol of AIDS prevention and treatment for the development of services as a trademark easy to produce adverse social impact, according to relevant provisions of the grounds for objection were raised objections to the establishment of "red ribbon and the map" trademark are not approved for registration.

The Red Ribbon is the call of the whole issue of AIDS prevention and control of social concern, understanding, care of HIV infected persons and AIDS patients in an international symbol. Four years ago, the face of "Red Ribbon" and the plan will soon be applying for registration as trade marks, they rise up to resist, on the network, in reality, launched a massive signature drive. Before and after this event that lasted for nearly four years, a total of 60000 people signed a petition against the "Red Ribbon" registered as trademark.
"4 years, 4 years later, actually came up with so many good news, did not expect did not expect that." Guo Bao-gang 1 Diesheng said, "To be honest, we can win hearts really off the mark."
B
"Red Ribbon" was registered by
GUO Bao-gang, Zhumadian City, for many years moving back and forth the front line of AIDS prevention and control of civil volunteers. In 2002 with her colleagues, co-sponsored non-governmental volunteer site China Red Ribbon Net (http://www.chinaredribbon.com), they love platform for web-and long-term AIDS-prevention knowledge, appeal to the community to eliminate discrimination, care for those infected population same time, they are still in rural areas to establish centers for children, and partners with a common rescue more than 200 AIDS orphans.

Among the desperate, they proposed a bold vision, "Can Red Ribbon volunteers to challenge the identity of this mark?"
Volunteers began to search for relevant information and previous similar cases, would like to refer to, but did not find a case on public signs of civil right has been registered by trademark rights protection beyond precedent. Left with no alternative, "we thought of the intellectual property firm to professional help, contact a number of the firm, the person would think that this things are more difficult task, and made in addition to the Trademark Office must pay processing fees of 1,000 yuan, but also 1000-5000 yuan to pay agent fees. "Guo Bao-gang recalls.
Gratifying to note that the two intellectual property firms in Beijing is willing to promise pro bono representation on legal matters. October 16, 2006, Guo Bao-Gang, Yang Weidong, two volunteers come up with their own living expenses in savings in 1000 dollars to pay processing fees, with a common written objection to the book trade mark red ribbon together to submit to the State Trademark Bureau. In the meantime, Guo Bao-gang's appeal, the Shenzhen City volunteers associated five volunteers, voluntary scrape together 1,000 yuan of money, right Mr. Wang to apply for registration of another trade mark, but also to the State Trademark Bureau objection to the application submitted.
D
Be supported 60000 signatures
In order to prove that the Red Ribbon as a public event will mark the breadth and importance of Red Ribbon volunteers in real life, on the initiative of the network in the country to carry out some big schools and communities, "to maintain the Red Ribbon logo, to carry forward the Red Ribbon Spirit "million signature campaign and, in parallel in the online sign boycott.
"We intend to put all signatures to collate statistics after the December 1, 2006 (World AIDS Day) the day of submission of the State Trademark Bureau." Guo Bao-Gang explain such activities, SAIC is the hope of arousing attention.
Contrary to expectation, Guo Bao-gang is that they stand up and protect public environment has been wide support for the quick action and response. Harbin Institute of Technology, South China Agricultural University, Beijing University of Science and Technology and a number of college students have joined the signature campaign, even including the special education schools in Jinjiang, Fujian, Hubei Xiangfan, high school and some primary and secondary students also joined in this civil action to safeguard public interest in the environment .
Since then, the country's first public signs of civil action to safeguard officially began, the Chinese Red Ribbon Network in Taiwan's first human rights activists embarked on a public road signs.
Volunteers and enthusiastic netizens active degree of surprise. Shenzhen City Bao'an District volunteers associated Red Ribbon volunteers active in the community to collect signatures, those bearing the name "Red Ribbon logo to maintain and carry forward the spirit of Red Ribbon," the colored streamers filled with enthusiastic members of the public's signature.

An HIV-infected volunteers excitedly against the Red Ribbon, said: "Red Ribbon AIDS volunteers in the active care of people, social discrimination is also being reduced, some people are trying to register the red ribbon into a trademark, this matter is absolutely resist in the end . "
According to the plan, local civil society volunteers will collect signatures and on-site picture gradually aggregate together, even after statistical number of signatures up to 4 thousand people. December 1, 2006 in Beijing, Tao Fang Intellectual Property Office, accompanied by enthusiastic staff, from Beijing's six volunteers took an assortment of signature originals, with the "Red Ribbon" trademark application with the opposition once again to send to the China Industrial and Commercial Administration Trademark Office. Trademark Office, after receiving the staff said it would proceed with the hearing and responding to the results seriously.
Enthusiasm for the volunteers, some of the legal profession expressed admiration for, but they have doubts about that: With regard to "public sign", after being registered by the civil activism there is no precedent can refer to this objection is also raised general citizens, this matter the attention is only caused by society as a whole have the chance to succeed.
And so he did. Guo Bao-gang, and did not win the confidence of the defenders as long as four years of activity, GUO Bao-gang, and other volunteers were uneasy feelings.
However, Guo Bao-gang and his companions did not stop calls. Over the next three years time, had received more than 20000 signatures of self-to jointly support this civil action to protect the common good sign.
E
Late news
March 23, 2010, is the village primary school for AIDS families to send their children school supplies Guo Bao-gang, suddenly received a call from Beijing: "You are the Red Ribbon in 2006 mark the objection raised, after the State Trademark Bureau tried to do ruled out: The Red Ribbon trade mark and plans are not approved for registration, this is your victory! "
That moment, Guo Bao-gang, but some of the reactions to.
"I want to tell before the signing of you have participated in volunteer friends, we won." Guo Paul just said, four years, volunteers come and go, many people can not connect, "but the good news in any case had to try to tell them. "
Because some people's business motives, while filling the 60000 people took part in the national public signs of civil rights protection Road, go past four years to gain this victory. GUO Bao-just can not help but sigh of joy at the same time: public service mark or name can be registered or have the means to prohibit the use of?
Another new test is still using a condom factory mark "Red Ribbon", the official statement in accordance with national parties the spirit and the victory of the anti-registration, Guo Bao-gang to consider: whether the application for revocation of the manufacturers use the "Red Ribbon "and the map trade mark rights?
Clearly, Guo Bao-gang will choose the path is still long way to go. ③ 14
