Is the registration of China’s gold trademark valid?

Wu Ying_, the presiding judge in this case, told reporters that a trademark is a sign that distinguishes the source of goods or services. In trial practice, when determining trademark infringement, the court will generally determine whether the goods used are the same or similar goods based on the alleged infringing goods and the registered trademark, whether the alleged infringing logo and the registered trademark are the same or similar, and whether the registered trademark is the same or similar. Aspects such as prominence and popularity will be taken into consideration. In this case, the trademark involved has a high reputation. Although Mr. Li obtained the authorization of the "Lao" trademark from others, during the use process, he prominently used the same "China Gold" as the main identification part of the trademark involved. The words "gold" and "gold" can easily confuse consumers and mistakenly believe that they are buying products from China Gold Group. Based on this, the court determined that Li's behavior was a trademark infringement. The judge also wants to remind all business operators to be aware of intellectual property rights in the business process. Do not simply think that if the logo you use is different from someone else's registered trademark, it does not constitute infringement. Improper use of a logo that falls under the exclusive use of someone else's registered trademark Those who fall within the scope of rights protection still need to bear legal responsibilities. Operators must not become "sugar daddies" in the pursuit of small profits, which ultimately results in the loss of the foundation of business integrity.
