What are the main ways to handle trademark infringement disputes?

The main ways to deal with trademark infringement are: 1. Negotiation between both parties; the advantages of negotiation are that it avoids litigation, does not harm harmony, and can turn a competitor into a partner. The trademark registrant or interested party files a lawsuit in court or requests the relevant administrative department to handle it. In my country, the industrial and commercial administrative departments have the right to identify infringements, take law enforcement measures to order the infringement to cease, confiscate and destroy infringing goods and tools specifically used to manufacture infringing goods and counterfeit registered trademarks, and may impose fines. 2. The advantage of requesting an administrative agency to handle the matter is that the procedure is simple and fast, and the infringement can be stopped in a timely manner. A lawsuit may be filed in accordance with the law; if the infringer does not sue upon expiration of the time limit and fails to perform, the industrial and commercial administrative department may apply to the People's Court for compulsory enforcement. 3. The advantage of filing a lawsuit in the People's Court is that there are many means and strong effectiveness, but the procedure is complicated. Litigation is the ultimate solution. Even if the case is handled by the industrial and commercial administrative authorities, the parties concerned who are dissatisfied can still file a lawsuit in the People's Court and submit various civil relief requests through judicial channels. The law is based on Article 118 of the Civil Code, which stipulates that if a trademark right is infringed upon, the person has the right to demand that the infringement be stopped, the impact eliminated, and losses compensated. Article 53 of the Trademark Law stipulates that the infringed party may request the infringer to immediately stop the infringement and compensate for losses. Among them, the amount of infringement compensation is the benefits obtained by the infringer during the infringement period, or the losses suffered by the infringed party due to the infringement during the infringement period, including the reasonable expenses paid by the infringed party to stop the infringement. If it is difficult to determine the first two, the people's court will award a compensation of less than 500,000 yuan based on the circumstances of the infringement.
