After successfully registering a trademark in Hangzhou, you must not only manage it well, but also protect it well to prevent your legitimate rights and interests from being harmed. We sometimes see many similar counterfeit trademarks. In fact, if they are not authorized, they are considered infringement. In such a situation, how should companies protect their registered trademarks? First, let’s understand the classification of infringements.
Infringement of combined use of trademarks. This infringement method is mainly manifested by the infringer registering many separate trademarks. Although it will not cause trademark infringement when used alone, once used in combination, it will be similar to some big names. . This kind of behavior is also called plagiarism of famous brands. It is not entirely correct to say that this is an infringement, because the trademarks are all legal, but when used in combination, they will cause confusion to consumers, so there is a certain degree of harm.
The infringement of reverse counterfeiting. In the early trademark law, it was stipulated that when dealing with items with counterfeit trademarks, the counterfeit products could be re-entered into the market after removing the trademarks, but now as long as they are infringing goods, all must be destroyed. But not all counterfeit products are discovered, and not all counterfeit products are confiscated.
So when some people discover that the goods they purchased have counterfeit trademarks, they then remove the trademarks and replace them with other trademarks. According to the current trademark law, they cannot sell even if they change the trademarks. It is an infringement.
Acts that facilitate trademark infringement. Perhaps these people are not directly involved in the production and sales of trademark infringement, but as long as they provide convenience for infringing goods, it may also constitute trademark infringement. Of course, this only refers to deliberately providing facilities for infringement of other people's trademark rights and helping others to commit trademark infringement. If the act is negligent or the accommodation is deceptively provided, it is not considered a tort.
Therefore, trademark owners must manage their own trademarks well and not give others opportunities to take advantage of them. At the same time, you can also register a large number of defensive trademarks to prevent others from imitating the famous brand. Trademark infringement is a common phenomenon in the market. Since companies are already operating in the market, they should deal with these matters.
