Is the pronunciation of the trademark the same as infringement?

If only the pronunciation of the trademarks is the same, it is generally not considered infringement. However, if the pronunciation of the trademark words is similar and the meaning, font shape or overall appearance cannot be distinguished, it will be considered infringement. Trademark infringement refers to the behavior of the perpetrator using the same or similar trademark as the registered trademark on the same or similar goods without the permission of the trademark registrant.
