Is the trademark and company name the same infringement?
Similar names of registered trademarks do not necessarily constitute trademark infringement. If the registered names are similar, but the application fields are completely different, it does not belong to trademark infringement. The specific manifestation of trademark infringement must be that the registered trademarks used in the same or similar goods are the same or similar, and the trademarks are forged without authorization or other malicious cybersquatting behaviors.

Legal basis

The amount of compensation for infringement of the exclusive right to use a trademark in Article 63 of the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China shall be determined according to the actual losses suffered by the obligee due to infringement; If the actual loss is difficult to determine, it can be determined according to the interests obtained by the infringer due to infringement; If it is difficult to determine the loss of the obligee or the benefit of the infringer, it shall be reasonably determined by referring to the multiple of the trademark license fee.
