Is the trademark the same but different categories of infringement?

Legal subjectivity:

From the perspective of trademark rights, if only the form of the trademark is the same, but the scope of products or services registered by the trademark is different (that is, what you call different industries), then It is definitely legal and there is no infringement. In addition, if the trademark is a graphic or special font originally designed by someone else, copyright issues will also be involved. So from a legal perspective, your use of this trademark is an infringement. However, current laws generally require the other party to provide corresponding evidence. Unless the other party has applied for the copyright of an art work, it is generally difficult to provide strong evidence to prove its originality, and the courts will generally not accept such cases with insufficient evidence. Legal objectivity:

"Interpretations of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Trademark Civil Dispute Cases" Article 9 of the Trademark Law, Article 57, Item (1) (2), the trademarks are the same, It means that compared with the trademark accused of infringement and the plaintiff’s registered trademark, there is basically no visual difference between the two. Similarity of trademarks as stipulated in Article 57 (2) of the Trademark Law refers to the font, pronunciation, meaning of the words or the composition and color of the graphics, or the differences between the accused of infringement and the plaintiff's registered trademark. The overall structure of the combination of elements is similar, or the three-dimensional shape and color combination are similar, which may easily cause the relevant public to misunderstand the source of the goods or think that their sources are specifically related to the goods with the plaintiff's registered trademark.
