"The Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Laws in the Handling of Criminal Cases concerning the Production and Sale of Counterfeit and Substandard Products" Fa Interpretation [2001] No. 10 was issued at the 1168th meeting of the Judicial Committee of the Supreme People's Court on April 5, 2001. , adopted by the 84th meeting of the Ninth Procuratorial Committee of the Supreme People's Procuratorate on March 30, 2001, is hereby announced and shall come into effect on April 10, 2001. In order to punish criminal activities of producing and selling counterfeit and shoddy goods in accordance with the law, according to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law, several issues regarding the specific application of law in handling such cases are hereby explained as follows: Article 9 Anyone who knows or should know that others are committing the crime of producing or selling fake and shoddy goods, and Providing loans, funds, account numbers, invoices, certificates, licenses, or providing production and business premises or convenient conditions for transportation, warehousing, storage, mailing, etc., or providing counterfeit production technology, committing crimes of producing and selling counterfeit and shoddy goods** *Penalty for offenses.

Object elements The objects infringed by this crime are the state’s trademark management system and the exclusive right to register trademarks of others. The exclusive right to use a trademark is the trademark owner’s exclusive right to use his or her registered trademark in accordance with the law. It constitutes the main content of my country’s trademark management system. my country’s Trademark Law clearly states that the exclusive right to use trademarks must be protected. Infringement of exclusive rights to trademarks may be manifested in the production or manufacture of counterfeit trademarks, or in the sale of counterfeit trademarks. In actual production, most cases involve the sale of goods that are knowingly counterfeit trademarks, and these are all infringements without exception. The exclusive right to register a trademark, and the sale of goods knowing that they are counterfeit trademarks has objectively caused a large number of counterfeit, inferior, and substandard products to be put into the market, which has had an impact on famous and high-quality products and other similar products, making it difficult for consumers to distinguish the authenticity from the counterfeit and being deceived. , in serious cases, it will pose a threat to the health and life safety of consumers, and seriously damage the legitimate interests of consumers. Selling goods with counterfeit registered trademarks, although they themselves do not produce goods with counterfeit registered trademarks, their behavior causes the goods counterfeiting other people's registered trademarks to flow directly to consumers, harming the interests of consumers, and at the same time financially supporting the counterfeit goods registered by others. Trademark criminals strengthen the psychology of criminals. Therefore, Article 38 of the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China clearly stipulates that selling goods that are knowingly counterfeiting registered trademarks is an act that infringes on the exclusive right to use registered trademarks. one. The object of this crime is goods counterfeiting registered trademarks. Such goods are mostly counterfeit, inferior, inferior or even harmful. The so-called products that counterfeit registered trademarks must be products that use the same trademark as the registered trademark on the same product without the permission of the registered trademark owner. If the goods intentionally sold are counterfeit goods with non-registered trademarks, or are not of the same type as the goods with registered trademarks, it cannot constitute the crime of intentionally selling goods with counterfeit registered trademarks. Objective elements: The objective aspect of this crime is that the perpetrator illegally sells goods that he knows are counterfeit registered trademarks, and the sales amount is relatively large. The so-called sales refer to the act of selling goods to others by purchasing, promoting, selling or peddling, etc., including wholesale and retail, inviting people to sell on behalf of others, entrusted sales and other forms. No matter which form the perpetrator takes, as long as the sales amount reaches a relatively large amount, this crime will be committed. It is worth noting that the goods sold here should not be products produced, manufactured or processed by yourself. If the goods being sold are not counterfeiting others’ registered trademarks, but are goods without a trademark, or goods with a trademark but not a registered trademark, or goods with a registered trademark but not someone else’s but one’s own registered trademark, or goods registered by someone else. This crime will not be committed if the trademark is not a registered trademark used on the same product as the product. If the perpetrator counterfeits someone else's registered trademark on his own goods and then sells them, which constitutes a crime, he has committed two crimes respectively. There is an absorption relationship between the two crimes, and he should choose one of the felony crimes and be severely punished. However, judging from the statutory sentences of the two, the punishments for both are the same, and it is difficult to say who is lighter and who is heavier.
Considering that the act of selling goods that counterfeit someone else's registered trademark is a follow-up and extension of the act of counterfeiting a trademark, it is appropriate for those who counterfeit a trademark and then sell it to be convicted of the crime of counterfeiting a registered trademark, and the punishment should be severe and cannot be counted. And punished. If you conspire in advance with criminals who counterfeit registered trademarks, and subsequently sell goods with counterfeit trademarks on your behalf, you should also be punished for the crime of counterfeiting registered trademarks, constituting the first offender of the crime of counterfeiting registered trademarks. The sales amount of goods counterfeiting someone else's registered trademark must reach a relatively large amount to constitute a crime. Although there is an act of selling goods counterfeiting someone else's registered trademark, the sales amount is not large and does not constitute this crime. The so-called sales amount refers to all illegal income of sellers from selling goods that counterfeit other people's registered trademarks without deducting costs, taxes, etc. It is different from illegal income, which is the actual amount of profit after deducting costs, nor is it equal to the operating amount. If the perpetrator completely sells the goods that are counterfeiting other people's registered trademarks, the sales amount is the operating amount. If it is seized without selling, there will only be an operating amount but no sales amount. If there is no sales amount or if there is sales amount but the amount is not large, generally it cannot be treated as a crime, but this does not mean that it cannot absolutely be treated as a crime. If the crime is serious, if the person refuses to change despite repeated admonitions, or if the sale amount is extremely huge and the harm is serious, he should be held criminally responsible for attempted crime. However, it should be pointed out that if the goods have been sold but the purchaser has not paid the sales amount due to various reasons, it does not mean that there is no sales amount. For this to constitute a crime, it should be completed, not attempted. Subject elements The subject elements of this crime are general subjects. Both natural persons and units can constitute the subject of this crime. As far as natural persons are concerned, as long as the perpetrator has reached the age of criminal responsibility and has the ability to be criminally responsible, and intentionally sells goods with counterfeit registered trademarks, it can be constituted. If a unit commits this crime, a two-penalty system shall be implemented, and the unit shall be fined, and the directly responsible person in charge and other directly responsible personnel shall be held criminally responsible in accordance with the provisions of this article. Subjective elements: The subjective aspect of this crime can only be manifested as intentionality, that is, knowingly selling goods with counterfeit registered trademarks to others. Negligence cannot constitute this crime. The scope of "knowingly" cannot be too narrow. "Knowingly" does not mean "certain knowledge", as long as the perpetrator should know that the goods being sold are fakes. This is because the circulation of goods with counterfeit registered trademarks is illegal, and operators often understand it implicitly during transactions and do not need to make it clear. In addition, it can also prevent some criminals from evading legal sanctions on the pretext that they do not know that the goods are counterfeit registered trademarks. In judicial practice, the main criteria for determining "knowledge" are: (1) There is evidence to prove that the perpetrator was informed that the goods sold were counterfeit registered trademarks; (2) The purchase price and quality of the goods sold were significantly lower than those of the goods being counterfeited on the market. The purchasing price and quality of goods with registered trademarks; (3) Based on the perpetrator’s own experience and knowledge, he can know that he is selling goods with counterfeit registered trademarks.
