澳高法通过法案 烟盒不得出现烟草公司标志
<p>澳大利亚最高法院本周三通过一项法案，禁止烟草公司在生产的香烟盒上展示其特有标志。自今年12月起，所有香烟盒将换成统一的橄榄绿背景，配以因癌症溃烂的口腔、失明的眼珠以及病弱儿童等警示性图片。澳大利亚政府希望这种新的香烟盒能让吸烟变得不那么有吸引力。英美烟草集团、飞利浦莫里斯公司、帝国烟草集团以及日本烟草公司等国际大牌烟草公司均表示，此举可能在全球竖下先例，让他们的品牌价值损失数十亿美元。他们还担心，推出统一的香烟包装后，假冒香烟会更加大行其道，因为统一的包装更加容易仿冒。澳大利亚卫生部长回应称，使用统一包装后也可以通过字母数字代码等防伪手段来区分仿冒品。目前，乌克兰、洪都拉斯以及多尼米加等香烟种植国已向世界贸易组织就澳大利亚香烟立法提出正式质询，称这些法案阻碍澳大利亚履行知识产权方面的国际义务。</p><p><span word="Australia">Australia</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="urged">urged</span> <span word="other">other</span> <span word="countries">countries</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="adopt">adopt</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="world">world</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="toughest">toughest</span> <span word="law">law</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="cigarette">cigarette</span> <span word="promotion">promotion</span>, <span word="which">which</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="upheld">upheld</span> <span word="Wednesday">Wednesday</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="country">country</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="highest">highest</span> <span word="court">court</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="prohibits">prohibits</span> <span word="tobacco">tobacco</span> <span word="companies">companies</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="displaying">displaying</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="logos">logos</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="cigarette">cigarette</span> <span word="packs">packs</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="High">High</span> <span word="Court">Court</span> <span word="rejected">rejected</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="challenge">challenge</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="tobacco">tobacco</span> <span word="companies">companies</span> <span word="who">who</span> <span word="argued">argued</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="value">value</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="trademarks">trademarks</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="destroyed">destroyed</span> <span word="if">if</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="no">no</span> <span word="longer">longer</span> <span word="able">able</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="display">display</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="distinctive">distinctive</span> <span word="colors">colors</span>, <span word="brand">brand</span> <span word="designs">designs</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="logos">logos</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="cigarette">cigarette</span> <span word="packs">packs</span>.</p>
