Can the court where the plaintiff is located in a trademark infringement dispute have jurisdiction?
According to the provisions of the Civil Procedure Law, a lawsuit brought for infringement shall be under the jurisdiction of the people's court in the place where the infringement occurred or the defendant's domicile. Therefore, cases of infringement of the exclusive right to use a trademark are generally under the jurisdiction of the intermediate people's court where the infringement occurred or the defendant's domicile or the grass-roots court with jurisdiction over trademark cases. The determination of the place of infringement can be based on the provisions of Article 6 of the Interpretation of Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Trademark Civil Disputes. A civil action brought for infringement of the exclusive right to use a registered trademark shall be under the jurisdiction of the people's court of the place where the infringement occurred, the place where the infringing goods were stored, the place where the seizure was made or the place where the defendant was domiciled. Among them, the place where infringing goods are stored is the place where a large number of infringing goods are stored or hidden in a specified period; The place of seizure refers to the place where the customs, industry and commerce and other administrative organs seal up and detain infringing goods according to law. If several defendants bring lawsuits in different places where the infringement is committed, the plaintiff may choose one of the people's courts where the defendant commits the infringement to have jurisdiction; The people's court in the place where the defendant committed the infringement only has jurisdiction over the lawsuit brought against one of the defendants.
