Can trademark infringement be investigated for responsibility after settlement?
It depends on the specific situation. If you have settled the trademark dispute with the other party, you can cancel the complaint. As long as you cancel it, there will naturally be no punishment. However, it should be noted that it must be revoked before the judgment is made. If the punishment has been decided, it is useless to cancel it. At the same time, pay attention to signing a settlement agreement: the other party explicitly waives the right to pursue legal responsibility, including not seeking civil litigation again and not complaining to administrative organs and judicial organs.

legal ground

Article 60 of the Trademark Law

If one of the acts listed in Article 57 of this Law infringes on the exclusive right to use a registered trademark and causes disputes, the parties concerned shall settle them through consultation; Unwilling to negotiate or failing to negotiate, the trademark registrant or interested party may bring a lawsuit to the people's court or request the administrative department for industry and commerce to handle it. When the administrative department for industry and commerce finds that the infringement is established, it shall be ordered to immediately stop the infringement, confiscate and destroy the infringing goods and tools mainly used to manufacture infringing goods and forge registered trademarks. If the illegal business amount is more than 50,000 yuan, a fine of less than five times the illegal business amount may be imposed; if there is no illegal business amount or the illegal business amount is less than 50,000 yuan, a fine of less than 250,000 yuan may be imposed. Whoever commits trademark infringement twice or more within five years or has other serious circumstances shall be given a heavier punishment. The administrative department for industry and commerce shall order the sale of goods that are not known to infringe the exclusive right to use a registered trademark, and can prove that the goods are legally obtained by themselves, indicating the supplier.
