China's Trademark Law and its implementing regulations do not clearly stipulate the limitation of action for infringement of trademark rights. According to the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in the Trial of Trademark Civil Disputes, the limitation of action for infringement of the exclusive right to use a registered trademark is two years, counting from the date when the trademark registrant or interested party knows or should know about the infringement. Where a trademark registrant or interested party files a lawsuit for more than two years, and the infringement continues when the lawsuit is filed, the people's court shall order the defendant to stop the infringement within the validity period of the exclusive right to use a registered trademark, and the amount of compensation for infringement damages shall be calculated forward for two years from the date when the obligee files a lawsuit with the people's court.

In addition, according to the provisions of the General Principles of the Civil Law on the limitation of action, the limitation of action is calculated from the time when you know or should know that your rights have been violated. However, if more than 20 years have passed since the right was infringed, the people's court will not protect it. Under special circumstances, the people's court may extend the limitation of action.
