Do you need to go to jail for infringement?

Legal analysis: The infringer's tort is a civil dispute. If it does not constitute a crime, it does not need to bear criminal responsibility, so it does not need to go to jail. Forgery or unauthorized manufacture of another person's registered trademark logo or sale of a forged or unauthorized registered trademark logo constitutes a crime of counterfeiting a registered trademark, and if the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance, and shall also, or shall only, be fined; If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years and shall also be fined. To constitute the crime of counterfeiting a registered trademark, the following conditions should be met: 1. Using another person's registered trademark without the permission of the registered trademark owner. 2. The actor objectively wants to use the same trademark as the registered trademark of others on the same commodity. That is, the trademark is the same, and the goods using the trademark are the same kind. These two conditions must be met at the same time. Anyone suspected of one of the following circumstances shall be prosecuted: (1) The amount of illegal business operation is more than 5, yuan or the amount of illegal income is more than 3, yuan; (2) Counterfeiting two or more registered trademarks, with an illegal business amount of more than 3, yuan or an illegal income of more than 2, yuan; (3) Other serious circumstances. Under any of the following circumstances, the case is "especially serious": (1) The amount of illegal business operation is more than 25, yuan or the amount of illegal income is more than 15, yuan; (2) Counterfeiting two or more registered trademarks, with an illegal business amount of more than 15, yuan or an illegal income amount of more than 1, yuan; (3) Other circumstances.
