What if trademark infringement is sued?
When the defendant infringes a trademark, he should make clear the other party's claim of trademark infringement, carefully verify the plaintiff's evidence, prepare evidence in his favor, and seek legal advice on intellectual property rights.

Clear trademark infringement claims, usually including:

1. Stop using this is the inevitable requirement of all infringement cases and the basic requirement of prosecution.

2. Compensation for losses. Most of them will claim compensation, but it's just a matter of how much. Under special circumstances, if the plaintiff does not put it into use, or thinks that the situation of reverse infringement is like if you are the one, he will generally not ask for compensation. Because such compensation is often not supported.

3. Because intellectual property rights can claim the other party's legal fees, reasonable rights protection fees are usually one of the claims. The most common part of this reasonable expenditure is the notary fee.

There will be some lawsuits demanding an apology in the newspaper. Because infringement of intellectual property rights will not be accompanied by personal injury and loss of personality, it is often not supported. It depends on the specific situation.

Second, carefully verify the plaintiff's evidence. Some trademark lawsuits have no lawyers involved, and the evidence is mixed. Original, photocopy and notarial certificate coexist. The court talks about evidence. Even in some cases, the plaintiff thinks that he has a high reputation, but there is no evidence to support it, which can be overturned. However, in the trial of a case, because the defendant may indeed be suspected of infringement, he is often unable to safeguard his own interests for untenable reasons. Should bear tort liability, but whether infringement and the amount of compensation are the focus of debate. The author has encountered some cases, and the plaintiff sued several cases at the same time, all of which were the same evidence. For such evidence, we can certainly find shortcomings, because different cases are different, and the applicable laws and cases will be different.

Third, prepare evidence that is beneficial to you. Evidence that can affect the amount of judgment to a certain extent. In trademark infringement cases, the amount of infringement compensation is closely related to the infringer's subjective intention, profit amount and sales data, so attention should be paid to collecting the above evidence.

Four. Seek legal advice on intellectual property rights. It is more appropriate to recommend an agency with experience in intellectual property agency or intellectual property litigation.

When a person is sued for trademark infringement, if there is indeed infringement, it is suggested to seek legal advice on intellectual property rights, actively respond to the lawsuit, prepare for compensation, understand the other party's demands and prescribe the right medicine.
