Legal basis: The amount of compensation for infringement of the exclusive right to use a trademark in Article 63 of the Trademark Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) 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 interests of the infringer, it shall be reasonably determined by referring to the multiple of the trademark license fee.

If it is difficult to determine the actual losses suffered by the obligee due to infringement, the interests gained by the infringer due to infringement, and the license fee for registered trademarks, the people's court shall award compensation of less than 5 million yuan according to the circumstances of the infringement.

In handling trademark disputes, the people's court shall, except in special circumstances, order the destruction of goods with counterfeit registered trademarks at the request of the obligee; Materials and tools mainly used for manufacturing goods with counterfeit registered trademarks shall be ordered to be destroyed free of charge; Or under special circumstances, it shall be ordered to prohibit the aforementioned materials and tools from entering the commercial channels free of charge.
