Among them, the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce’s reply on the issue of authenticating the authenticity of goods using registered trademarks (Trademark Case [1997] No. 458) stipulates that “the authenticity of goods using registered trademarks shall be determined by the legal user of the registered trademark or the Appraisal by statutory inspection agencies. In the event that the appraisal conclusions of the two parties are inconsistent, if the legal user of the registered trademark can provide valid evidence to prove that the conclusion is true and legal, the appraisal conclusion of the legal user of the registered trademark shall prevail." "About Counterfeiting. Reply on Issues Related to the Appraisal of Registered Trademark Products and Logo” (Trademark Case [2005] No. 172) “In the process of investigating and handling trademark violations, the industrial and commercial administrative authorities may entrust the trademark registrant to conduct inspections on suspected counterfeit registered trademark goods and trademark logos.
