What are the criteria for judging whether a trademark is infringing?
Legal analysis: The criteria for judging whether a trademark is infringing are as follows:

1. The act of using a trademark identical with or similar to its registered trademark on the same or similar goods without the permission of the registered trademark owner.

2, without the consent of the trademark registrant, change its registered trademark and put the goods with the changed trademark on the market again. This kind of behavior is also called reverse impersonation in theory.

3. Selling goods that infringe the exclusive right to use a registered trademark. If you sell a commodity that you don't know is an infringement of the exclusive right to use a registered trademark, and you can prove that the commodity was legally obtained by yourself and explain the supplier, you will not be liable for compensation. Therefore, this form of trademark infringement requires the seller's subjective understanding.

4. Forge or make others' registered trademark marks without authorization or sell forged or made registered trademark marks without authorization. It should be noted that this kind of infringement is trademark infringement, including manufacturing and sales.

5. Acts that cause other damage to the exclusive right to use a registered trademark of others.
