Regarding how to define whether a trademark is infringing, we should focus on the following factors:
1. Whether the defendant has subjective malice leads to the conflict of rights. Of course, there are some accidental coincidences, but in many cases, it is still caused by one party's malicious hitchhiking to gain illegitimate interests. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the defendant's subjective fault and subjective malice for infringement judgment.
2. Whether it is the same or similar, which leads to confusion between commodities, services and services, and between commodities and services, and leads to confusion and misunderstanding, is also an important factor to judge whether the infringement constitutes or not. When judging, we should not only compare the main parts of the dispute, but also judge the whole.
3. The logo should have a certain distinctiveness. If it is a common name that is generally recognized by ordinary operators and ordinary consumers, one party will not enjoy exclusive rights, nor can it exclude the legitimate use of other operators.
