Is there a time limit for trademark infringement?
Yes, there is nothing special about the limitation of action for trademark infringement and general infringement. According to China's General Principles of Civil Law, the limitation of action for trademark infringement is two years, which is counted from the time when you know or should know that your rights are damaged. If the infringement is one-off, there is generally no problem in applying the two-year limitation. However, if the infringement is continuous and the trademark owner knows or should know for more than two years, the question of whether to protect it will arise.
