Are trademarks with different homophones infringing?
Legal analysis: it is not infringement, as long as the name is not completely repeated, as long as it can pass the industrial and commercial verification. Trademark infringement is a trademark infringement in which another person uses a trademark or logo after registration. A registered trademark will mark an R on the foot. If this is a registered trademark, then using a logo similar to it is likely to involve infringement. The specific situation varies from case to case, and consulting a lawyer is more complicated. If it's just a store brand, it doesn't matter unless it's a registered brand. Without the permission of the trademark owner, the actor uses the same or similar trademark on the same or similar goods, or other acts that interfere with or hinder the trademark owner from using its registered trademark and damage the legitimate rights and interests of the trademark owner. The natural person or legal person whose trademark exclusive right is infringed upon when the actor sells goods that he knows or should know are counterfeit registered trademarks has the civil right to demand the infringer to stop the infringement, eliminate the influence and compensate for the losses.

Legal basis: Article 57 of the Trademark Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) commits any of the following acts, all of which are violations of the exclusive right to use a registered trademark:

(1) Using the same trademark as its registered trademark on the same commodity without the permission of the trademark registrant;

(2) Without the permission of the trademark registrant, using a trademark similar to its registered trademark on the same kind of goods, or using a trademark identical with or similar to its registered trademark on similar goods is likely to cause confusion;

(3) selling goods that infringe upon the exclusive right to use a registered trademark;

(4) Forging or unauthorized manufacturing of registered trademark marks of others or selling forged or unauthorized registered trademark marks;

(five) without the consent of the trademark registrant, the registered trademark is changed and the goods with the changed trademark are put on the market again;

(6) Deliberately facilitating the infringement of the exclusive right to use a trademark of others and helping others to commit the infringement of the exclusive right to use a trademark;

(seven) causing other damage to the exclusive right to use a registered trademark of others.
