Does malicious cybersquatting of the same similar trademark constitute infringement?
Legal analysis: constitute infringement. Yes, it constitutes infringement!

China's Trademark Law stipulates that a trademark that is identical or similar to another's registered trademark on the same or similar goods cannot be registered. When a trademark owner thinks that another person's registered trademark (including registered trademark and registered trademark) is the same as or similar to his own registered trademark, he has the right to apply to the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board for a ruling within the statutory time limit, so as to protect his exclusive right to use a trademark and safeguard his legitimate interests.

Approximate trademark refers to the comparison between two trademarks. The font, pronunciation and meaning of words, or the composition and color of graphics, or the overall structure of words and graphics are similar, which is easy to confuse consumers with the source of goods or services. As far as word labels are concerned, it is generally necessary to combine sound, form and meaning. Graphic trademarks are mainly based on appearance. Generally speaking, if the sound, shape and meaning of a trademark are similar, two trademarks can be judged to be similar, but they need to be used together to analyze the weight given to them by the market. Therefore, in practice, whether a trademark is similar or not should be comprehensively considered and analyzed.
