摘要：商标共存协议是“由双方或多方就近似商标能够避免混淆可能性而共存所达成的协议，并允许当事人间为商标和平共存设定规则”，其是商标权人对商标权的一种处分方式，其本质为私权利，在行为人的行为未侵犯公共利益的前提下，直接的利害关系人便是经营者，造成消费者混淆对经营者的利益有损，经营者基于对自己利益的保护，该协议能够存在便代表着混淆可能性已被消除。并且消费者的利益不完全等同于公共利益，只有涉及消费者的生命与健康权时才为公共利益，因此，不能将侵害消费者的一般混淆利益作为否定该协议效力的理由。商标共存协议的法律效力应当被肯定。我国的《商标法》中规定的先用制度为商标共存问题预留了空间，在如今商标共存协议案件频发的情况下，急需完善《商标法》，对该协议在授权确权与司法审判中的效力问题进行规制。
