1. Well-known trademarks Does the squatting of domain names constitute infringement? The squatting of domain names does not constitute infringement. Domain name squatting: The so-called squatting can be simply divided into two senses: 1. The squatting of a domain name that has never been registered. In this case, the registrant of the domain name generally foresees the potential of the domain name. value, register the domain name before anyone else thinks of it. This scope includes some well-known brands, names of well-known groups or individuals, intellectual property rights, etc. 2. Squatting on a previously registered domain name. If a registered domain name is not renewed in time before the end of the validity period, it will be deleted after a period of time. The act of preemptively registering the domain name within the first time after it is deleted is regarded as another form of preemptive registration. Trademark infringement refers to: the perpetrator uses the same or similar trademark on the same or similar goods without the permission of the trademark owner, or otherwise interferes or hinders the trademark owner from using his registered trademark, causing harm to the trademark owner. Other actions for the legitimate rights and interests of the trademark owner. The infringer is usually liable to cease the infringement, and the perpetrator who knew or should have known that the infringement was infringement is also liable to compensate. If the circumstances are serious, you will also bear criminal liability. 2. How to determine a well-known trademark? According to the provisions of my country’s Trademark Law, the following factors should be considered in determining a well-known trademark: (1) The degree of awareness of the trademark by the relevant public; (2) The duration of use of the trademark; (3) The duration of use of the trademark The duration, extent and geographical scope of any publicity work for the trademark; (4) Records of the trademark being protected as a well-known trademark; (5) Other factors that make the trademark famous. The Trademark Office and the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board shall comprehensively consider the above factors when determining a well-known trademark, but this does not presuppose that the trademark must meet all the factors stipulated in this article. Accordingly, the following materials can be used as evidence to prove that a trademark is well-known: (1) Relevant materials that prove the relevant public’s awareness of the trademark; (2) Relevant materials that prove the duration of use of the trademark, including the history of use and registration of the trademark and scope; (3) Relevant materials proving the duration, extent and geographical scope of any publicity work for the trademark, including the methods of advertising and promotional activities, geographical scope, types of publicity media and the amount of advertising, etc. Materials; (4) Relevant materials proving that the trademark is protected as a well-known trademark, including relevant materials that the trademark has been protected as a well-known trademark in China or other countries and regions; (5) Other evidence materials proving that the trademark is well-known, Including the production, sales volume, sales revenue, profits and taxes, sales area and other relevant materials of the main products using the trademark in the past three years. So, how should we define a well-known trademark? The "Provisions on the Recognition and Protection of Well-known Trademarks" states that a well-known trademark refers to a trademark that is widely known to the relevant public in China and enjoys a high reputation. The relevant public includes consumers related to the certain type of goods or services indicated by the trademark, other operators who produce the goods or provide services indicated by the trademark, as well as sellers and related personnel involved in the distribution channels. It should be noted that not only the Trademark Office and the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board have the right to identify well-known trademarks, but in hearing trademark dispute cases, the court can also determine whether the registered trademark involved is well-known according to the law, based on the request of the parties and the specific circumstances of the case. When the court determines a well-known trademark, it should follow the above five factors for determining well-known trademarks. If a party requests protection for a well-known trademark that has been recognized by the Trademark Office, the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board or the People's Court, and the other party has no objection to the well-known trademark involved, the People's Court will no longer review the application. If an objection is raised, the people's court will conduct an examination based on the five factors for determining well-known trademarks. Of course, if the domain name of a well-known trademark is preemptively registered, there are corresponding rights protection methods. However, it cannot be judged that the other party has constituted an infringement just based on the preemptive registration of the domain name. my country's protection of well-known trademark squatting and domain names is not as developed as in some Western countries. On the one hand, my country's legislation on trademarks, domain names, etc. started relatively late, and on the other hand, the industry is not self-disciplined enough.
