Punishment of infringement of single words in trademark calligraphy works
It depends on the specific situation. If the trademarks are similar, they will be considered as infringement. Approximate judgment rules of trademarks: For combined trademarks consisting of words, graphics, letters, numbers, three-dimensional signs and colors, the Trademark Office usually takes them apart and examines them separately. As long as there is an element that is the same as or similar to the elements in other people's trademarks, the combined trademark will be rejected. Trademark Approximation Judgment Method (1) The Chinese characters of trademarks are the same or similar, which easily confuses the relevant public about the source of goods or services, and trademarks will be judged as approximate trademarks. (2) If the foreign language, letters and numbers of a trademark are the same or similar, which may easily confuse the relevant public with the source of goods or services, the trademark will be judged as an approximate trademark. However, if the overall meaning and appearance of a trademark are obviously different from the previous trademark, and the public is not easy to confuse the source of goods or services, the trademark will not be judged as an approximate trademark.

In case of malicious infringement of the exclusive right to use a trademark, if the circumstances are serious, the amount of compensation may be determined in accordance with the amount determined by the above method. The amount of compensation shall include the reasonable expenses paid by the obligee to stop the infringement. If it is difficult to determine the actual losses suffered by the obligee due to infringement, the interests gained by the infringer due to infringement, and the license fee for registered trademarks, the people's court shall award compensation of less than 3 million yuan according to the circumstances of the infringement.
