What are the criteria for determining the similarity between Pinyin trademarks and Chinese character trademarks?

Refer to the third part of the "Trademark Examination Standards" for the examination of text, graphics, and combination trademarks. 1. Chinese character trademarks and their corresponding pinyin trademarks are generally not considered similar trademarks. For example, "Tianda and tianda" are not similar but the prior right is a well-known trademark or has other specific meanings. For example, "Maotai and maotai" are similar. 2. Chinese character trademarks and trademarks composed of the same Chinese characters and pinyin are generally judged to be similar. For example, "Yili is similar to Yili yili". 3. Pinyin trademarks and combination trademarks consisting of the same pinyin plus Chinese characters are generally judged to be similar trademarks. For example, "haier" is similar to Haier haier. 4. Pinyin trademarks and their similar English trademarks will be deemed similar trademarks. "suoni" is similar to "soni". 5. Trademarks consisting of two different Chinese characters plus the same corresponding pinyin combination are generally not considered similar. For example, the infringement cases involving Chinese character trademarks and pinyin trademarks between "likang" and "利康li" are a type of trademark infringement. situation, infringements of Chinese character trademarks and pinyin phonetic symbols should be dealt with according to the circumstances stipulated by law. In addition, if serious illegal and criminal acts are involved, judicial judgment must be made through litigation to safeguard the legality of the trademark owner.
