How to judge trademark use in trademark infringement
Legal analysis: there are two aspects to be investigated in the determination of trademark infringement, one is the trademark use behavior of the accused infringement, and the other is the use behavior of the trademark owner. In the sense of trademark law, the above use is based on the use of trademarks. The identification of different infringements should be based on the different ways in which the plaintiff and the defendant use the trademark, or with reference to the types of different infringements and the constitutive requirements of the infringement, and should not be identified as trademark infringement. The use of trademarks in the alleged infringement should exclude the fair use of trademarks and the exhaustion of trademark rights. In typical trademark infringement cases, using the same or similar trademarks on similar goods or similar goods makes it difficult to identify the source of goods, which of course means confusion. In atypical trademark infringement cases, confused judgment becomes the key to examine whether the infringement is established. Preventing confusion is also the theoretical basis and legislative purpose of trademark protection.
