I believe everyone is very familiar with Minions and Kung Fu Panda. They are both very famous animated characters. Such a well-known animated character must have a registered copyright patent. However, this patent was not allowed and was used by a cultural company in Beijing for the interior decoration of a KTV store. This involved infringement issues. So, what kind of behavior will constitute infringement? How should we avoid this?

After verification, from September 2016 to March 2021, the party involved copied the copyright owner’s "Minions" and "Minions" without the permission of the copyright owner Universal Pictures Co., Ltd. and DreamWorks Animation Film Company. ?Kung Fu Panda? series of art works are used as interior decoration of a KTV store where it operates. On April 7, the Corps imposed an administrative penalty of 250,000 yuan on him in accordance with the law. First, using the same or similar trademark as its registered trademark on the same product.

In fact, we can learn that there are many brand trademarks on the market. For example, mobile phone brands include Huawei, Apple, vivo, OPPO, etc., and TV brands include Changhong, Skyworth, etc. In fact, not only these brands have Your own registered trademark, as long as it is an influential public thing in society, will have corresponding copyright patents. If the same product is displayed or sold in the market without the permission of the company that registered the trademark, it involves legal infringement. Like the KTV decoration mentioned above, the use of animated images of Minions and Kung Fu Panda involves the copyright issue of using animated images without the company's permission. Second, counterfeit or create without authorization the registered trademarks of others.

It is not difficult to find that in addition to the problem of copyright infringement by using the same product, there are also some criminals in society who use forgery and fraud to create trademarks registered by others to conduct alternative sales. This is not only It infringes on the copyright of the registered trademark company, and it is also an act of deceiving consumers.
