Is there a connection between the company name and trademark infringement?
1. There is no direct relationship between the company name and trademark infringement. The approved company name enjoys the right to name, and there is no infringement with the same name as the trademark. 2. "Implementation Measures for the Administration of Enterprise Name Registration" Article 2 These Measures shall apply to the names of enterprises as legal persons registered by the administrative department for industry and commerce and enterprises without legal person status. Article 3 An enterprise shall choose its own name according to law and apply for registration. An enterprise enjoys the right of name from the date of its establishment. 3. Having the following four elements constitutes an infringement of selling goods with counterfeit registered trademarks: 1) There must be an illegal act, that is, the actor has carried out the act of selling goods with counterfeit registered trademarks; 2) There must be a fact of damage, that is, the behavior of the actor selling counterfeit trademark goods has caused the damage consequences of the trademark owner. Selling counterfeit goods with registered trademarks of others will cause serious property losses to the obligee, and at the same time, it will also bring goodwill damage to the units enjoying registered trademarks. Both property loss and goodwill damage are damage facts. 3) The wrongdoer is subjectively at fault, that is, the wrongdoer knows or should know the fact that the goods sold are counterfeit registered trademarks. 4) There must be a causal relationship between the illegal act and the damage result, that is, there is a causal relationship between the illegal act's sales behavior and the damage result caused by the trademark owner.
