Permissions

Regarding the use of trademark registration marks, the new law is different from the original law, mainly reflected in two words , that is, change the label "should" to the label "have the right to".

The difference between the two words actually makes it further clear: the use of the trademark registration mark is entirely the trademark registrant’s own right, and others have no right to interfere.

Whether a registered mark is used or not, the direct consequence is to emphasize whether the registrant is willing to disclose its trademark rights status to the society through the use of the mark.

If the registrant actively publicizes it and constantly reminds others of the scope of his rights on the product, there is a possibility of good faith use by others without authorization.

Therefore, the author believes that in the sense of judging trademark infringement, the administrative penalty that should be borne by the unauthorized use of a registered trademark mark can be heavier than that of an unmarked one, that is: the use of a registered trademark Whether or not, the legal liability borne by them should be different.
