What should I do if someone sues me for brand infringement?

If someone says that my trademark infringement is infringement, I can go to the other party to find out the situation privately, or I can just ignore it if I have no infringement. If the other party is always entangled, I can sue in the People's Court. Because trademark infringement requires evidence, it does not mean that it is an infringement just because it says you infringe. If there is not enough evidence, the people's court will not accept it.

1. What should I do if someone says I have trademark infringement? You can negotiate with the other party to handle your problem. If negotiation fails, you can go to court to sue to protect your legitimate rights and interests. The infringer is usually liable to cease the infringement, and the perpetrator who knew or should have known that the infringement was infringement is also liable to compensate. If the circumstances are serious, you will also bear criminal liability.
