Great Power Game in the Process of Trademark Legislation in the Late Qing Dynasty(1903-1911)
From 1903 to 1911,the Qing government launched the first trademark legislation in modern China,which ended in failure.The game among the great powers was an important reason for the failure of legislation,and the focus of the game among the great powers was on the competition for trademark rights.There were roughly two reasons for the contradictions between the powers on this issue:firstly,Japan took advantage of its proximity to China to register a large number of trademarks,causing dissatisfaction in other countries;secondly,there were different provisions on the acquisition of trademark rights between the common law system and the civil law system,which made it impossible for countries to reach an agreement on trademark registration in China.The essence of this problem was that the great powers compete for the"comparative advantage"of expanding their economic rights and interests in China,but this"advantage"was a zero-sum game.The wishes of all countries could not be fully satisfied,and the trademark legislation of the Qing government was therefore difficult to promote.The game among the great powers not only affected the outcome of the trademark legislation in the late Qing Dynasty,but also had an important impact on the content of the trademark legal system in modern China.
