摘要

侵權法理論劃分直接侵權行為和間接侵害責任的不同規範，西元1982年美國聯邦最高法院曾做出對商標間接侵害責任的判決，間接侵害責任使被害人可求償的範圍擴大，若針對直接侵害人，也許受限於其財力不足清償被害人的損害，或僅是購買侵權物品的消費者，加上被害人向直接侵害人逐一求償的程序過繁或訴訟費用過多，惟電子商務及網路商店盛行，導致如販售仿冒品與盜用網域名稱…等侵害發生，因此間接侵害責任廣為實務所採，除保護商標權人的利益更祈遏止侵害行為，本文將說明商標侵害理論，包括替代侵害責任與輔助侵害責任的規範內容，並以美國商標法實務為主，其次說明台灣立法暨現況，檢視台灣商標法及民、刑法有關商標損害賠償制度的相關規定，最後介紹中國大陸商標侵害相關案例數據，統整後提出建議暨結論。
