What is the function of trademark protection?
Legal analysis: The function of trademark protection is to protect the trademark use rights of trademark registrants and trademark users by law, inform others not to use the same or similar trademarks, and investigate the relevant responsibilities of illegal elements who infringe on the exclusive right of others to register trademarks.

Ensure that consumers can distinguish different providers of goods or services through trademarks. At the same time, protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and enterprises to the maximum extent.

Legal basis: Article 57 of the Trademark Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) commits any of the following acts, all of which are violations of the exclusive right to use a registered trademark:

(1) Using the same trademark as its registered trademark on the same commodity without the permission of the trademark registrant;

(2) Without the permission of the trademark registrant, using a trademark similar to its registered trademark on the same kind of goods, or using a trademark identical with or similar to its registered trademark on similar goods is likely to cause confusion;

(3) selling goods that infringe upon the exclusive right to use a registered trademark;

(4) Forging or unauthorized manufacturing of registered trademark marks of others or selling forged or unauthorized registered trademark marks;

(five) without the consent of the trademark registrant, the registered trademark is changed and the goods with the changed trademark are put on the market again;

(6) Deliberately facilitating the infringement of the exclusive right to use a trademark of others and helping others to commit the infringement of the exclusive right to use a trademark;

(seven) causing other damage to the exclusive right to use a registered trademark of others.
