How to deal with the infringement of signboard trademark in stores?
First, a positive answer

First of all, the infringed party can negotiate with the infringer to solve the problem. If the negotiation fails, it will report to the industrial and commercial administration department or bring a civil lawsuit. If the infringement is constituted, the wife of the administrative department for industry and commerce shall order the infringement to stop immediately, confiscate and destroy the infringing goods and tools mainly used for manufacturing infringing goods and forging registered trademarks, and impose a fine. If a dispute arises, it shall be settled by the parties through consultation. If the parties are unwilling to negotiate or the negotiation fails, the trademark registrant or interested party may bring a suit in a people's court or request the administrative department for industry and commerce to handle it.

Second, analysis

Using trademarks that others have not registered will also constitute trademark infringement, because there is a situation in which registered trademarks are registered by law. Although other people's trademarks have not yet applied for registration, they have already had a certain influence in social life. If others find out and register first, such behavior may be judged as cybersquatting. Registered trademarks are protected by law. An unregistered trademark must not be the same as or similar to a registered trademark, which is the basic premise for the use of unregistered trademarks. The problem that unregistered trademarks are identical or similar to registered trademarks should be analyzed in detail. Some unregistered trademark users deliberately use unregistered trademarks that are the same as or similar to registered trademarks, which is intentional infringement.

III. What is a signboard

A signboard refers to a sign hung in front of a store, which is mainly used to indicate the name and mark of the store. It can be called a store logo, and it can be vertical or horizontal, or the font size is horizontally inscribed on the archway in front of the door, or a giant plaque is hung under the eaves, or the characters are horizontally embedded in the building. Coordinates are signboards set on the counter in front of the store. Before the Ming Dynasty, sitting signboards were more common, and wall signs were used to write the business scope and category of the store on the wall of the store.
