How to deal with trademark infringement and the responsibilities it should bear.
Legal analysis: The ways to deal with trademark infringement include: (1) negotiation with the other party. (2) Complaining or reporting to the administrative department for industry and commerce. (3) Anyone who refuses to accept the handling by the administrative department for industry and commerce may also bring a lawsuit to the people's court. The infringed person may also bring a lawsuit directly to the people's court. The responsibilities that trademark infringers should bear are: if the infringement of the exclusive right to use a registered trademark does not constitute a crime, they should bear administrative and civil responsibilities. Among them, administrative responsibility. When the administrative department for industry and commerce finds that the infringement is established, it shall be ordered to immediately stop the infringement, confiscate and destroy the infringing goods and tools mainly used to manufacture infringing goods and forge registered trademarks. If the illegal business amount is more than 50,000 yuan, a fine of less than five times the illegal business amount may be imposed; if there is no illegal business amount or the illegal business amount is less than 50,000 yuan, a fine of less than 250,000 yuan may be imposed. Whoever commits trademark infringement twice or more within five years or has other serious circumstances shall be given a heavier punishment. The administrative department for industry and commerce shall order the sale of goods that are not known to infringe the exclusive right to use a registered trademark, and can prove that the goods are legally obtained by themselves, indicating the supplier. In terms of civil liability, the infringer is responsible for stopping the infringement and compensating the losses. If a crime is constituted, the infringer shall also bear criminal responsibility.
